Hello!
I am a new owner to a audi q7 3.0tdi v6 2007. I need to replace the coolant switch-off valve, i have a brand new part from valeo but i cant seem to find the location.. I have disassembled the viper mecanism and looked down there and cant seem to find it.. i did not disassemble anything else.

I have done this on my previous car (a mercedes e class 2006) and it was right under the vipers motor. Could somebody please help me locate it and i hope its not inside the dash

Thanks!

In the states we do not have this option, Maybe somebody in your area can help.

The valve is also called heater changeover valve.

Checking if we are talking about the same thing.

Which your shut-off valve belongs to this and Mil code of N279?

N279 should be correct if its this part: https://www.google.no/search?q=Auxiliary+Heater+Heating+Element+Z35&biw= 360&bih=314&prmd=ivsn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ve d=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIoqGtu9qnyAIVSYYsCh0GYAYk#tbm=is ch&q=n279+q7&imgrc=G4rJR9KrmDSZUM%3A

The picture shows the valve that i have. The make of my valve is Valeo if that helps. But i guess were on the same page now. That is the part i need the location of. I can only see pictures of only it, and not where it is under the hood.

Sorry I cannot not help you. Here in the states we do not get this option. It is a euro option. All my manuals do not show this.
We need Audi members from Sweden, Norway any cold, cold countries that have this option.
