Yep! I was planning on replacing the BPV as preventative maintenance anyway. Then I was checking out my "fixed" connector where the BPV hose connects to the throttle body. These are brass fittings but the glue around them is prone to crumbling. Mine did and I pulled the fitting right out once. So I stuck it back in, all sealed tight with silicone. I thought it was good, but when I checked it today after posting on saabnet, it pulled right out again (see pic). So I mixed up some JB weld and stuck it back in sealed with that. So that could have the same symptom as a bad BPV, so I'll see how that works first and try the BPV replacement next. I have heard that those were prone to fail - the c900 ones. I would love to try an all metal one like a Forge. We'll see what I can find.
