Only 160k kilometers? A young car.
In my experience, they fail internally, either sticking full hot in the middle of the summer or full cold in the middle of winter, or the two parts come apart and it urinates on your right foot. I'd go for replacement of the whole thing since it comes with o-rings, but maybe later because mine have all lasted 175,000 miles with minimal problems.
Also, steer clear of aftermarket valves. It is worth it to get the OEM valve. I tried the aftermarket valve, then I heard they have a lifespan of only a year or two and have very vague temperature selection while you're at it.
