Heater Control Valve Replacement

jooparnico

Does anybody have any experience in replacing a heater control valve for a 2004 Jetta? My car's vents only blow hot, and I checked the cables and saw that the control arm was disconnected. I tried to put the cylinder piece back in and had some luck, but I can't get it to sit tightly in there and it keeps falling out. Also, it still wont change the temperature coming out of the vents. I assume that something broke on the inside piece that the cylinder connected to.

If someone could talk me through fixing it, or if it is too complicated, give me a rough estimate on a repair price, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Here is an example of what mine kind of looks like, but mine is way more loose.
