Doing some maintenance on my 6.9 this week (plugs, belts, etc...) uncovered a cracked vacuum ‘something’ see pic below.
I know it has something to do with the heater valve.
Can someone enlighten me as to where I can get my hands on one of those ?
Are they available new?
Thanks

Re: Vacuum???
I'm not sure Michel, but just make the comment that it looks similar to other common 'vacuum elements'. If you pull it off and find a part number, you might find it is something common. I have started storing and cataloguing my parts under part numbers. When doing these I noticed some can have 2 part numbers, one on the element body and another on the arm. Not sure if you can mix and match but some look identical in the plastic body that is cracked on yours but have a different length arm on them. But hopefully someone knows more about your system and parts availability

Re: Vacuum???
When the rubber bellow inside the vacuum element for the heater tap cracked, I replaced it with the item shown in this picture.
