They are easy to repair...

One of the check valves failed on my 9k and when I'd fill up the tank it would dribble out the headlight washers.
I also repaired the ones under the hood for the windscreen jets. Remove them and then gently pop them apart with a sharp blade along the seam. Clean out the gunk and old latex. Stretch a new piece of latex (I used a rubber glove, my wife is a nurse) over the open valve and snap it back together. trim the remaining external latex with a sharp blade and you're good to go. Takes only a few minutes and costs nothing. I did mine a coupe of years ago and were still working fine when I traded it last week.
