I recently completed this same upgrade for my 9-3.
I looked at that same DIY instruction and I also printed the Saab TSB (I think I got it from genuine saab).
I noticed that the DIY specified wrapping the insulation around the check valve to protect it from the heat of the nearby coolant lines.
The Saab TSB, on the other hand, clearly indicates that the insulation goes around the coolant lines AND the check valve - all three wrapped in the insulation.
Doing it the Saab way is a giant pain in the rear because those coolant lines are very difficult to work around. I compromised and wrapped the insulation around the check valve and the top coolant line.
