other things that fail are the CCU, if it's got a bad aux pump on it, the ccu may be burned. if it's burned, the monovalve won't fix the problems.

By "other components," I meant things within the monovalve itself. But it sounds like, other than dirt/corrosion, that one part (either because the rubber tears or it won't move) is all that can go bad.
Will any coolant start coming out when I open it up?
