I keep reading on here people recommending changing hoses, reporting having changed hoses, but near as I can see many things on the Saabs are actual lifetime parts, no matter the life of the car. This includes hoses, also V belts, barring oil or bad adjustment.
If I DO have a hose that is suspect or fails on one of my 900s I intend to go get its replacement off a junkyard car.
Failing the time for that I guess I'd spend for the dealer part assuming it's still OEM quality. But your warning about latest hoses might mean dealer stock is also lesser quality?
Even the best brand names of belts and hoses in the aftermarket seem in my experience to be MADE to go bad soon and need future regular replacement.
