The old Volvo control valves were metal on one end. Of course it was the other end (plastic) that failed.

If is embarrassing to admit but the failed one was over a decade old. When I started to replace the one in my wife's 940t it broke off immediately upon handling it- so a bullet dodged there.

While the replacements from FCP was plastic it was of much heavier construction than the original type.
