What!? Posted by B Millar [Email] (#1109) [Profile/Gallery] (more from B Millar) on Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:28:30 In Reply to: Expansion Tank Hose 2008 9-3 Turbo-X SportCombi, Dave Chicago, Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:17:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
One of mine cracked a couple weeks ago and the hoses were on intergalactic back-order. Couldn't find them to save my life, so I had the car towed home (never want to do that again, so difficult getting the TX on the flatbed as it's so low). On a whim I had my dealer order the equivalent part for the '10-11 9-5 Aero V6. For what it's worth it was $5.82 directly from Saab, and comes with a corrugated foil heat wrap on it. Might want to try that route? The expansion tank nipple is a larger diameter than the other ends, and this 9-5 hose is the same diameter on each end. It fit, but needed some extra coaxing onto the expansion tank.
The old hose was pretty well baked on. I used a knife to make two slices in the hose at each connection. Be careful not to cut too deep and score the nipples. Then peel the hose back between the cuts and wiggle it off.
Part numbers should be 13310060 ($6.47) and 13220153 ($4.75). Not sure why my price was a little different.
