Although the old one will have been compressed, especially if it has been gasket sealanted. 1 more reason not to go to SarbKar for any more work I guess. When I bought the car, the service book showed the last 3 services done by SarbKar. The owner was very chuffed that he had used saab and saab independants all through it's life. Then I found the Dumpvalve disconnected and capped off. Then I was at another independant, they were admiring the car, told them of it's history, and who had been servicing it. They grinned, and said "I would hardly call SarbKar" a specialist. Guess I'll just use SaabKar for parts now. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
