Found the part online for around $60. The local Cadillac dealer had it for $87. This part is cross-referenced with a Cadillac Catera so by that very nature you are not stuck with Saab OEM pricing. Called my local Saab dealer - SaabExchange in Morton Grove, IL. They wanted $720 to fix it. They claim that it only comes in a kit with the hoses for $300. Labor brings it to $720. I quickly hung up on them. ARE THEY SERIOUS????
Anyway picked up the part at the local Cadillac dealer. Changed it myself. Took about 1.5 hours. Actually very easy job. The hardest part were those spring clips that hold the hoses onto the valve.
My advise...Save yourself hundreds of dollars. Do it yourself or find a handyman.
