So I changed my radiator the other day, and decided it might be a good time to flush the cooling system. I took the heater hose off the thermostat housing, and was trying to get my garden hose up to it, and before I knew it, the heater hose was in my hand, attached to nothing. After a quick look, I found the heater control valve brittle and rotten, and was falling apart. I could crumble the entire thing in my hands.
Good timing for it to fail in my garage. But, I was surprised at the poor condition it was in, even after regular coolant changes and maintenance. Beware of the plastic!
