Hot air coming out vents no what temperature is set

Welcome to 2CarPros.

On this vehicle, hot coolant entering the heater core is controlled by a heater control valve. I have a feeling it is corroded or stuck in the open positions. Thus, you always have heat.

Here are the directions for replacing it. Before you just replace it, have a helper adjust the temperature in the vehicle while you check if there is movement in the valve. Also, the attached pictures correlate with these directions.

M3 (with air-conditioning system):
Remove suction hose.
Unfasten hoses (1), disconnect plug-in connection (2), unfasten screw (3) and remove water valve by lifting in upwards direction.

All models except M3:
Unfasten hoses and disconnect plug-in connection.
First remove water valve from lower bracket (4), then detach from upper bracket.
