So what was the final Part # that worked?

 

GM #12591334 works and is a fraction of the price of the saab part #.

 

Is the RockAuto one listed above compatible? I stopped at Sutliff in Harrisburg yesterday to get the park and I suspect they gave me the one for the 2.0. It's not where near close.

 

Verified I got the 2.0 part. I have 12611802 ordered at the local Buick dealer. Should have done that in the first place.

 

i have been trying to get the actual saab purge valve but it has not been easy. i also tried to get gm part #12591334 but have had no luck. pretty sure i can get gm part #12611801 (which is for a 2.8, v6 Cadillac), does anyone know if this piece will work? any advice is appreciated, i wouldnt mind paying for the genuine saab part but i cannot find one online. my 9-3 threw the purge flow code about three weeks ago and i am starting to notice that the acceleration is not as quick as it should be. just want to get the problem fixed asap. thanks

 

I ran my mine for more than 1.5 years and it was fine. Unless you're having constant issues I wouldn't be too concerned.
I don't know how acceleration would be effected by this part???

 

got the replacement valve from eBay. part arrived on monday, and i had it installed soon after. like the original instructions say, some of the hoses and connectors are a little bit tricky to remove. overall its a very easy process to remove or replace this part. the WIS instructions help, but without the write-up and the pictures I would have been clueless.

also, if anyone is hesitant to disconnect the ECM: just pull the metal lever across after you push in the black tab on the left side. i dont see why anyone would be worried about this, as i had absolutely no problems and it was just as easy to plug back in.

thanks a lot! as a guy with limited amounts of money, it is always nice to avoid a trip to the saab dealer. took me 25 minutes, and i've never even changed my own oil. the only other repair i've had to do was replace an entire headlight assembly on a volvo 940 (and that was much more difficult/frustrating).

 

got the replacement valve from eBay. part arrived on monday...

Reminder please, about which Part # we're ultimately talking about? And is that Bosch/GM/Other? So many numbers and suppliers my old noggin can't keep things straight .

 

Thanks!

Just wanted to share my experience as this was the first major maintenance I had to perform on my 2006 9-3 Aero purchased in January. I downloaded the WIS from "some" source :lol:, which gave me basic information to do the job, the OP's pics helped greatly. Things i noticed while doing the job that weren't mentioned.

1) On my car, there was an additional cable coming off of the ECM(Large Connector) which screwed down to the engine with a bolt, maybe an additional ground connection?

2) The left hose nearest to the connector on the purge valve is extremely tight, be careful!

3) Had a hard time fitting the new purge valve, there is part that is inserted into the upper part of the engine which has a 90 degree hose on it, which is extremely close to the "bracket" the purge valve slides into on the rubber mount.

4)make sure to disconnect your battery! this will prevent possible damage to the cars electrical system.

overall I'm pretty mechanically aware, computer tech by trade so this guide made things go pretty smooth(besides tired legs and scraped up arms from stretching over the hood).

Also 1 question, If i didnt get the purge valve "exactly" square on the metal bracket, should I worry? or just let it go. I have no idea how much "twisting motion" would be on the purge valve when its working.

Thanks for the help!

BTW This is the part I used.

That's a good deal, less than half dealer price and actually available. He still has one it looks like, I just picked another one up from him.

Part numbers

I've had the same fault code, however the guy doing the repairs has told me that it's some weird part number:-
PA66-GF25
B7080-275196
(Neither of these part numbers seem to exist)

I personally think he's given the wrong numbers, can anybody verify how many different variations of the purge valve there were for a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero?

Should the same part numbers given in this thread work with my car ie 12593761 or 12611802 ? if so where can I get them?

Thanks

 

I wonder if this is in the same location as my 9-4x

I keep on getting the P0496 Code and I am wondering if this is a fix for it.

Right Now I am working on the following Code Issues

P0496
P0513

Basically when I got the car, it had these 2 codes, I cleared them and they went away for a little bit.

Then the P0496 would always return (when this happened the Turbo Guage would stop working meaning the needle would not move). It would not be a new code though it would always be the Old Mature Code after I clear it the gauge would work again and then go away.

After 1 week of driving the CEL came back up again (earlier it would just be the code with NO Cel) along with the immobilizer code as well as a New code which I forgot to read by mistake but it was talking about system bank 1 running too rich.

 

So, I just want to be sure that I'm getting a legitimate substitute here(its just so cheap!)
Is

correct?

 

part # wise is does not look correct

rockauto has it on sale for $15

{#12610560}
VALVE,Evaporative Emission Canister PURGE SOL IF ORIGINAL PART IS MARKED 12611802, REMOVE ADAPTER BETWEEN VALVE AND INTAKE MANIFOLD

This is the EXACT part I used and removed mentioned bracket. Fit fine, code went away and havent had another issue in the 6 months since I replaced it. Part cost me less than 20 bucks.

 

Sweet I will try it out for my motor and see what happens.

 

I am comparing original part #'s not pics as they may not be accurate.

 

Okay, are you suggesting the pics of the part you listed may not be correct either? Or does that not matter, as long as the specs are identical?

The part I threw up lists as being compatible with GM 12591334; which, if I'm reading correctly, has been confirmed to work by cosmicflash:
ACDELCO Part # 2141685 {#12591334, 12611801}
Category: Vapor Canister Purge Valve

As for the part#, I just figured that bracket they installed would have granted enough difference for Bosch to issue a different P#

BTW: dont read into my post as agression towards you, I'm just extremely confuzed :cheesy:

 

The part# he listed was

The Purge Valve is listed as Part # 12593761 and the part that arrived at my house was a Bosch unit with #12611802

The difference is 801 and 802, Ill go with the part # (Same as rockauto) that the OP listed

 

I got the part from rockauto in, aand yes it does look different from the part # listed in the OP.

Looks like it will still work though.

 

Does not fit at all (the part from rock auto) good thing it was only $15

 

I'm glad I havent placed my order yet; I guess AC Delco pics are on the ball. Thanks for the word of caution.. I'll try the Amazon part in the coming weeks and let you all know how it turns out

 

Just fixed my 9-4x using the same exact steps and man it now runs awesome!

 

Agh! Purge Valve # right?

Help!

If you're talking about the one that came with that metal bracket, its fine. Just remove the bracket and you have yourself a proper working purge valve.

 

awesome...yes, it came with the bracket. thanks much.
currently having trouble disconnecting the smaller plug that's under/part of the ECM conduit plug i had to take off first...guess there's a trick to it?

 

serious problems taking off the right (when looking at engine from front) purge valve line...no blue button like the other side to depress...is it a twisty of is there something i need to pry out?...anyone??? Making me feel like an idiot. I'm being a little ginger with everything anyway because it's llike 40 degrees and everything's brittle. I don't want to break anything.

 

got it done....thanks to all you who take the time to write the details...me reading all of it definitely saved me from breaking something.

 

Need to replace this but don't know what it is....

Thanks all. While changing the rear spark plugs and removing the Evap canister valve and associated tubing the nipple on the part in question broke off. I need to replace this part but don't know what it is called.

I just broke the same thing, the piece that attaches to the engine and has one nipple and one valve branching off, anyone got a part number?
Doesn't seem to do anything other than kill the SID readouts for DTE and Fuel Econ.

 

I bought the AC Delco part from Amazon, just conforming it works great. Check engine light is gone, no problems.

 

Wanted to bump this as I just went through changing mine....this was awesome and without it I would have for sure broke something!
