I had this hose go out in my '96 900S about 2 weeks after I bought it.
Both the supply and return hose come together in a set. You can't use "standard" size heater hose, because one of the hoses is larger at one end than the other end.
The SAAB dealer wants $56 for the part. Local foreign parts place had it for $25.
From eEuroparts I think it was $18. I got all the hoses and the serpentine belt for about a hundred, as I recall.
One more note about the heater hose: Anyone who has the infamous oil leak around the distributor O-ring should get this hose set and keep it handy. I think the dripping oil contributed to the degradation of the hose in my case. And my oil leak is small, only about half a quart between oil changes.
Good luck, Robert!
