Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

About a year ago I replaced my disc valve (aka connector valve) that is inline with coolant flow to the transmission (tiptronic). It started leaking last week so I ordered a new one. It's all plastic, so predictably it's a weak point. Since I had a new one on order, I broke down my old one and discovered what might be the common reason for leaks. The glue seam was not consistent and as you can see in my photo there is a point where the seam is very thin. I put a generous amount of epoxy on the seam and put it back together. Then I put a bead of epoxy along the exterior seam. I hope this works. It's not an expensive part, but I don't like the idea of getting stranded because of a a simple and preventable fault. I'm curious to know if anyone has upgrade their disc valve with a similar fix.

POST 2Original post

I replaced mine and pondered your Idea, but I don't trust epoxy when dealing with dissimilar plastics. It was the one repair I literally did blind and with one hand behind my back. Lol
