Genuine saab part from eEuroparts.com costs $109.
Aftermarket valve costs $24.
I think I'll try the aftermarket valve!!!
I tried the genuine Saab metal valve...crap in a year or so.
I've used the plastic one for about 10 years so far and it's leaking at the control rod. Used Prestone for most of the car's life and switched to Mercedes coolant a couple years ago. Can't blame it on the coolant...still tests good.
Anyone use the aftermarket valve with good luck?
