Only with the systematic prevention of the unit, you can prevent leakage of antifreeze into the car salon.
• Ball. Functions on a ball with holes, instead of rubber. It costs from 650 rubles. He is more reliable than the factory mechanism, however, is also subject to oxidation.
• Ceramic. Distinguished by the presence of a shut-off element having two ceramic plates. The housing is made of plastic. Its approximate cost from 1000 rubles.
