i'm struggling with the very same issue. i also have a 95cs turbo and need to replace the dual line hose. i have the same one pictured in the photograph, where one line runs from the compressor to the evaporator and the other to the expansion valve. my local dealer ordered a replacement and he was sent the very same unit that europarts sent to you. we are in ongoing discussions with saab and my guy hasn't given up yet,but, after running vin numbers and engaging in some lengthy sessions in front of their parts computer, the bottom line seems to be that this hose may no longer be available.
we're gonna take anoter shot at this tomorrow. we think saab changed compressor configuration in mid 96 and the hose currently offered reflects that change. i've examined the hose. all the dimensions seem to be the same except for the additional schrader valve and the obvious need for a longer bolt. the critcal question seems to be whether the outlet and inlet hose openings on our older compressor match the ones on the hose block. we already know that the compressor o rings specified for the new hose are completely different from the ones i now have so this may be a long shot.
in any case, i will post on this thread tuesday if we have any news one way or the other. i,m sure this situation is not unique to us and other owners have found a reasonable solution to this problem.
