Well, keep in mind that the old 9-3 never had any bypass valve and not the new 9-3 either and they are doing ok.
To me, it looks like that bypass valve is up there together with the A/C chilled glove compartment in over engineering. It is probably some $0.25 GM engineer that got off by constructing that behemoth.
Just the way it is squeezed in there and held in place with a tie wrap around the wire harness tells me that it is something like. We NEED a sales gimmick, hurry, come up with something quick.
If the valve had actually worked without going bad all the time, it had not been that biggie.
Volvo actually also had a similar valve on the 700/900 models and they went bad too but not as quickly as these ones.
