Had a heater hose burst on me today and puke a gallon of coolant out. Was able to bypass the heater core in a Dunkin' donuts parking lot.
I have replacement hoses but it seems like a good time to potentially replace the heater control valve. I have no idea how old this one is on the car and everyone seems concerned about them exploding.
What is the collective opinion on which valve to use? I see lots of threads saying to buy the Volvo part for a hundred bucks or so, but many alternatives discussed as well. What's the best way to go?
I.e. Astro van heater control
