The Scantech heater control valve in my car is less than 6 months old, and it already is showing signs of seeping, or having seeped in the past, minute amounts of coolant. I want to avoid a catastrophe, so will replace it this weekend.

Have heard that the new genuine Volvo heater control valves are all plastic now. Are they better quality than the cheapo Scantech valves, though? God forbid, are they made by Scantech for Volvo? Hope not, Scantech = $18, genuine Volvo = $118 at the dealer ($60 + shipping at Tasca Volvo).
