oil regulator valve mk4 caddy

Post by oddkid01 »

After some advice, I've tried changing the oil regulator valve on my 2017 mk4 caddy maxi. Van is on axle stands, wheel ache out, tension off auxiliary belt, 3 bolts out of ac compressor and moved to 1 side to access the valve. taken bolt out of the valve and got the electrical connector disconnected. i could move valve by twisting it but it wouldn't pull out. Next I've tried to lever and u guested it :( ......its snapped the main body and left the shaft part in the block. There is about 3mm sticking out. I've been trying to pull at it with pliers no luck and it has to be done by touch as u cant see it. I think my only option here is to remove rad pack to gain better access? If i drop all the coolant out, take off crash bar can i till rad pack forward without having to get the ac gas taken out? Any help would be much appreciated.
