Fits 07 Saab 9-5

This was an exact match to my 2007 Saab 9-5 Areo. It has been over a month since installation. So far it seems to be ok. There are videos online with installation instructions.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Works with no problems so far (3,000 km)

Installed before the trip and happy it has held up. Drove 3,000 miles in a hot New England summer on the 0 9-5 and had no problems.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Doubt

Instant Leak Best in Heater Control Valves

Instant (2 washers) leaked worse than the replaced part. Confirmed leak from assembly with inspection camera. Three words: Made in China. Will be returned once Febi Bilstein replacement arrives (also available on Revain).

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Nothing here

easy peasey: heater

an ideal replacement part. Doing this on a Saab is a bit of a chore, but not too difficult. All work can be carried out with a set of metric sockets from 5 to 13mm and a pair of factory clamp vises. Remember that the harness connector slides to unhook to unlock. I've seen a lot of cars with bad spark plugs from those who don't know about Saab.

Pros
  • excellent overall performance
Cons
  • safety

exactly the same as coolant bypass valve OEM

Used to replace a bad CBV in my 2006 Saab 9-5. Like OEM, but significantly cheaper. Works great so far but I'll update my review in 6 months to be sure. Definitely worth the money to fix a coolant leak! UPDATE 1/11/2017 - Still working fine. No leaks UPDATE 01/20/2019 - the valve started to leak. Not bad for a few years for a part that is known to have issues with these Saabs. Cheap enough to change every few years I think.

Pros
  • Great choice
Cons
  • too dumb
