Saab Exhaust Valve - Genuine Saab 9179219

Product Information

An engine exhaust valve is a component inside the cylinder head that controls the release of burned gases from the combustion chamber after the air-fuel mixture has been ignited. It works in tandem with the intake valve, which allows fresh air and fuel into the cylinder. Exhaust valves are typically made of heat-resistant steel to withstand high temperatures and pressure.

• Poor Engine Performance / Power Loss: Incomplete exhaust evacuation reduces cylinder efficiency.
• Engine Misfires: Burned, bent, or leaking valves can cause misfires or rough idle.
• Excessive Smoke from Exhaust: White, blue, or black smoke may result from oil burning or improper combustion.

About Genuine Saab

The original parts used by Saab to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Saab” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Saab, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Saab Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Saab are not necessarily manufactured by Saab. No cause for concern, as Saab designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Saab for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Saab parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Saab logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
