You have a late model car. I don't know when they started, but the factory
now fit an air mixing heater which gives faster (by which I mean some)
control. On earlier cars it is definitely the water flow which is
controlled. This trend has developed further on the latest cars which have
a quadrant type heater control as fitted to a typical tin top.

My car also has the pull-type knob and cable for the heater control mounted
on
the steering column under the dash.
My question: Does the cable really control the hot water flow? It looks to
me
as if the cable just controls a flap for directing the air within in the
heater box. I ask the question because I have been considering adding an
additional valve to shut off the flow of hot water to the heater box in hot
weather. Any ideas?
