Motivated by Calvin's recent ABS failure poll, I thought it would be interesting to do one on the heater bypass valve failure (see http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/members/gallery.html?memberID=407&do=show&id=12539), which seems to be fairly common. Please respond as follows in the "Subject" block:
If your's failed, leading to sudden coolant loss, "YES" followed by how many miles/months were on the valve. If you had multiple failures, please do a separate response for each.
If your original valve never failed, "NO" followed by how many miles/months were on the valve.
If you wish to add info like whether it was under warranty, collateral damage from overheating, etc., please elaborate in the message itself. I'll do the first response as an example.
