Ford Ka heater control valves

On these it appears that they are controlled by a solenoid which would mean they were either on or off. Is this correct or are they progressive depending on the applied voltage?

Yes. They are controlled by voltage. Common failure in Ka, Fiesta, etc. Available on the bay. Can be a bit awkward to replace.

Hope this helps

Watch out for the plastic hose connectors on these valves failing as well , the last 2 or 3 that I've replaced have just crumbled
