I have a 2000 9-3 SE and installed the kit last weekend. Hose routing and diameters are quite different than stock. Saab lists the fix as being final. My engine seems to run quieter now, but that could all be in my head. I don't know how well the kit fixes oil leaks. To early to tell. I've been having trouble with the main crank seal leaking, but found out that my pulley was seal worn at 100k. Replaced that and things seem to be dry. I will be watching the timing cover, which had been a problem. So far everything is working great.
My local independant saab shop recommends the pcv kit for all cars even if they don't have leaks. They are under the impression that improper case pressure is partly responsible for the sludge trouble with these engines. They have been doing some testing of their own and have found crankcase pressure regulation to be greatly improved with the new kit.
It's a cheap kit and probably worth the install to see if it helps you.
