The crank case ventilation fix kit installation. The fix is applied according to the Saab service bulletin 210-2417 from Oct'2003, and intended to prevent potential oil leaks and decrease oil consumption. The kit is supplied by Saab, part #5962428 (Canadian part #30593216).

UPDATE: This fix has been discontinued by Saab as of 14.1.2005 after they received numerous complaints about increased oil consumptions. If you have performed this modification, you need to return the car to the original configuration (or at least move the small vent hose from the oil filler pipe back to the nipple on the valve cover).
