As the title description says. I brought a new genuine GM heater tap from Holden, cost me abit over $50. Reading on these forums people insisted on buying GM. First thing I noticed is that the new one is entirely plastic, apart from the 2 screws and the metal pin that actuates the valve inside the heater tap.
After installing it a week ago i have noiticed that coolant is leaking from the hole where the pin for the valve slides into. Its not much coolant, and it omly leaks whenever you actuate the valve by pushing the level up...but it shouldnt be leaking at all right? This isnt some weephole or something?
I spoke to them and they said 2 months ago these new designs came in. Now I dont want to buy another GM tap, does anyone have any suggestions of a good brand...I see Repco has one that looks good. Just an FYI my old heater tap never broke nor leaked, but whats interesting is that there is rust on the old heater tap exactly where the new heater tap is leaking. But I never noticed coolant under the old heater tap when it was installed, but I dont think I ever checked either as I had no reason too.
