I have the manual heater controls on my 2.5, I was looking at it recently and there is no water valve, just a flap that shuts off the air blowing over the matrix. Maybe this is your problem, on mine the cable controlling the flap had come off it's clamp allowing the outer cable sheath to move instead of the inner cable.
