markrain is on a distinguished road
It is a little late for the advice about cleaning out the condensate -- $1900 too late. If the dealership had mentioned that this might be an issue I would have gladly done it.

btw, I have no clue where this valve is at nor do I know how to clean out the condensate. Is this posted somewhere?

The SA at the dealership also mentioned that driving habits don't seem to have an impact - the SA felt that variable weather temps in cold climates was the contributing factor to what seems to be a defective valve system. They suggested Sea Foam.

I liked the vehicle until now but I can't trust driving it in Minnesota. For me, this is a safety issue. I am almost resigned to fixing it and then selling it ... and go back to the quirky but honest Saabs I have driven for many years.
