Review on ๐Ÿ”ง GM Genuine Parts 15-5533 Heater Water Shut-Off Valve: Quality and Reliability for Optimal Performance by Brad Bowers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well and doesn't leak

I've looked at about three or four nameless generic versions of these auto parts stores (available here at Revain) and they're all leaking, either through a valve or at a joint. This is the first in many years not to be phased out. Spend a few bucks more and get an OEM. Incidentally, one of those cheap, no-name valves nearly cost me my engine when it opened wide on the freeway and dumped all of my coolant in an instant.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Almost never
