Replacing the PCV

[A Linear J]

Hi guys, these are great instructions for dropping the sump. I recently purchased a 2003 9-5 Linear 2.3t and I am preparing on dropping the sump. I have also read that the PVC should be replaced due to a manufacturing flaw. I have read that ELK parts is a good place to order the PVC kit. Just wondering if you had any comments or recommendations before diving head first into this project. Or if it is not necessary to change the PVC on the 03 9-5. Thanks everyone

Yes, the '03 does need the final update and its a pretty easy and straight forward job. Since you are from Kansas, I would get the kit from eeuroparts.com. Best place to get saab parts in the US....IMO.

What he said, and there are plenty of tutorials on how to replace it. Before you do it, check if it has not been done already, you would really hate buying parts that you don't need.
