What is this part! It leaks coolant like a sieve! (2004 base)

Ok, epilogue to this project.....
Sourced valve locally at foreign car shop for $40. (Always check local first, saved me$)
Removal required the tube to be undone at cooler, and I removed one clamp, and took the rubber tube, valve, and metal tube out as one unit. A lot of working blind, and limited room. Do not attempt this front the top of the engine, you'll break tubing.

Mine broke in half on a nice mountain road trip but was able to coast to the bottom which then resulted in a tow home. It was a real pain to replace.

One of these went on my wife's Cayman. Leaked coolant as fast as I could pour it in.

You may notice that it is a 928 part.

Just sayin'.........
