The Bosch did not come with a valve that was visible.
I read somewhere that a way to test if an accumulator is good or not at a junkyard is to insert a suitable blunt object into the opening and see how far it goes. If it's more than about an inch it's probably bad. The reasoning being that if the bladder is still good and holding pressure it would be extended towards the opening.
Anyway, I did this with the Bosch just see how far it would go and it was about an inch and surprisingly there was something hard. Is it possible there is an internal valve?
I also read that you can delete the valve without any ill effects and since it was listed as a replacement for Saabs at a Brittish parts site as well I didn't bother with it.
We'll see how it goes.
