I've noticed the OEM pumps don't seem to last too long if you drive the car aggressively. I went through 2 OEM pumps within 30K miles on my V6. The pump bearings got noisy the first time and the second time the pump seal blew. I finally had my indy put in an upgraded aftermarket pump. He installed a Hepu pump which looks much higher in quality compared to the OEM Saab pump. The pump has been in there for over 20K miles and no signs of leakage or noise! Best of luck!
