Subject: Re: 2002 Saab 9-5 cracked heater valve


If you're talking about the valve just behind the block on the firewall, me too. My '03 Aero had this go (at just before 50K, thank you) about a month ago. It's called something like a "heater bypass valve" Mine was in the shop for OVER A WEEK getting this fixed since there is a nationwide shortage in this part, seems that there are lots of them failing. My dealer had to go get one from another dealer who wasn't terribly willing to give it up and had to be told by Saab USA to send it since they too had been seeing lots of failures. If the car has 50K, take it in and demand it be done under warranty On 8/27/06 3:23 PM, in article DimIg.73109$vl5.60099nospamado.ohiordc.rr.com, "Griska" <greesenospamersucks.net> wrote: > I found a big puddle of anti-freeze under my 9-5 which has about 50,000 > miles on the odometer.
