Hi all,

I have been calling a couple of fridgies today to get a spare valve and an appointment to fix it but either they cannot get the part or are booked out.

Before I keep calling more shops I wanted to ask if you might have a number to call.

Seems to be a big problem to get a new tx valve for a GU Patrol [emoji849]

Saw a mechanic this morning and we spotted the problem with his gauge within two minutes. Couldn’t fix it though as he doesn’t have the right valve on hand

Any help appreciated :)

Cheers

Patrolapart website isn’t advertising new ones Normi mate but worth giving them a call as they might have a second hand one around as they wreck vehicles daily.

Great idea. I just gave them call. They let me know tomorrow.

By far the hottest Christmas time I‘ve ever had [emoji1]

Surely you are NOT in Melbourne then.

This mob will have one. Located in Box Hill too.

Don't know if it is common but mine failed a few years ago and they put an aftermarket valve in. I had nothing but problems until they replaced it with a genuine - and all suddenly went good.

Yesterday we went to the second fridgy to get it finally fixed. Of course it was just low on gas [emoji849]

Got the leak fixed and looking forward to test it tomorrow in the super hot condition.

So I guess next time I will ask more questions why this or that seems to be broken to do some research on my one afterwards. Would have been a waste of money to get the tx valve changed..

Thanks for your tips, guys!
