Recently had a heater tap split on me in my hx. It is a vac operated unit because i have a WB stato dash. The vac line that runs onto the unit is connected directly to the unit and has no connection with the controls in the car. Given this, the heater tap is always in the closed position if the engine is running. Never noticed this before as the heater always worked, i assume this was due to the dodgy tap before.
