Stuck on buying a servo for the 964
I have rang Porsche Apart, Douglas Valley, Prestige Salvage and a number of other places and i cant find a right hand heater servo for love or money, so i rang porsche in exeter (local dealer) and they want a wopping £125.00.
And i want a pair of black sunvisors inc clips.
Is there a list of Porsche breakers here on the forum so i can track down one of these buggers? and a pair of sunvisors, better still does anyone break them here?
UK would be best please, lol, its a long way to the states.

Did you try fixing the servo. Mine malfunctioned and I found out that the two gears were not aligned in sync and one contact was not making contact to the copper track. Go to www.porsche964.co.uk and look into the tech section and then electrical. You'll find a step by step process. The manufactured cost of these servos are around $20 US or less so your qouted price is outrageous but that is what you will get from a dealer. Worse scenario, take the servo to any competent electronic tecky.

Put down the hammer and step away from the servo!

I removed it one night just like the website intructions, then removed the back (carefully), and noticed the circuit board had a chunk missing, so i thought *?* i know i'll have a go at replacing the burnt bit, but 2 hours later and a **** load of solder later i was getting really really annoyed, then the damn thing fell off my tool box shelf, so that was the last straw.
They seem to fly quite well
So if anyone has one available give me a shout, dont forget the sunvisors :-)

So im going to need the whole thing now.
If anyone has one give us a shout please.

You might try Otto's in Venice California (No affiliation here). Contact them through the internet at ottosvenice.com or by phone 888-901-otto or fax 310-399-9399 or post to Otto's, 707 South Hampton Drive, Venice, CA 90291. They rebuild just about all electronic parts and components for all Porsche models. The cost of sending the remains of yours to them should be minimal, or they may even have a spare on hand to sell to you.

I have looked all over the web for the mixing chamber servo valves. I too wonder where these might be available for sale and at what price for new ones? (part numbers?) I will try to rebuild mine, but...mine might fly off of the bench, too!
Thanks, gentlemen, oh, and Happy New Year!
