I am at my local indy Saab repair shop getting the 3rd heater bypass valve put in my 2008 9-5. Even though they are Saab OEM parts, each one has failed on a 2 year interval (installed spring of 2015, 2017 and now 2019).
I know a run of parts can have a couple of bad ones in the batch, but my mechanic says he suspects that the current supplier of this part for Orio has really dropped their quality. Anyone else noticed this new limited lifespan of this part? (Thank goodness for the new Parts for Life program!)
