part of my father's day present was the time to do some additional car maintenance.
I know I was a little late with installing the latest PCV update, but now it is done, with all new hoses too.
I also replaced the valve cover gasket since the Dealer noticed it was leaking (I had too) when the car was towed in last month with a failed fuel pump. I installed an aftermarket gasket 2-1/2 years ago when I replaced the head bolts because it was less expensive. Boy was that a mistake! The 2-1/2 year old gasket was stiffer today than the 5-year old factory gasket was when I did the head bolts. A new Saab OEM gasket went on this morning.
Yesterday I replaced the cabin ventilation fan, and ordered new tires. I still have a new Heater By-Pass Valve and a new Water Pump to install. Maybe next weekend.
