What vehicles is the Gates EMH146 designed for?

The Gates EMH146 Crankcase Ventilation Hose is designed as a replacement part for Saab 9-3 vehicles.

What is the material of this hose?

The hose is made from ACM (Polyacrylate) material, which is known for its durability and resistance to engine bay conditions.

This Gates hose is equivalent to OEM part number 55560463.

What are the dimensions of the hose?

How do I ensure this is the correct part for my car?

You must verify the part number (55560463) against your vehicle's specifications and confirm it is listed for your specific Saab 9-3 model, year, and engine.

What are the benefits of a properly functioning crankcase ventilation hose?

A functional hose helps remove harmful vapors and pressure from the crankcase, preventing sludge buildup, reducing oil consumption, and protecting engine seals.

Troubleshooting

Engine rough idling or poor performance after installation

Double-check that the hose is securely connected at both ends, ensuring no air leaks. Verify that the correct part number was installed for your specific vehicle model.

Oil leaks detected around the crankcase area

Inspect the hose connections to ensure they are tight and properly seated. A faulty hose or poor connection can lead to pressure buildup and leaks.

Check engine light illuminates

Scan the vehicle for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Issues with crankcase ventilation can trigger specific engine codes. Ensure the hose is correctly installed and that no other engine problems exist.
