Hi List,

I know that the heater valve is a weak point in the cooling system of 
the car.  I have replaced the valve that was on the car when I bought 
it because it began to leak and now the replacement that has been on 
for less than 2 years is leaking when open.  I wondered if anyone had 
dissected this wonderful little part to see if there was something that 
could be done to repair it.  Or is that pretty much a lost cause and it 
is time to send $20 or so to my favorite parts source and have another 
one sent.  Are there a run of "bad" valves out there or does one 
supplier have a valve that is manufactured with a little better 
quality?

Thanks in advance for any wisdom offered.

Aaron
