Changing a timing belt is a very detailed and complicated process, of which requires removing the engine. Detailed instructions can be obtained from the auto-parts store of which the timing belt was purchased.

Remove Power steering, and A/C belts. Move the A/C compressor out of the way if you have this. While Alt/water pump belts are still tight, try to loosen the bolts on the water pump pulley. If the pulley moves, you may need to jam a screwdriver in there to hold it. Loosen the belts, unbolt the alternator if you do not have enough access and remove. Getting the alternator out is usually tricky and involves unbolting the main bracket as well. Unbolt the water pump, clean gasket surfaces, install new gasket, install new pump. Put everything back.

Lift the bonnet/hood. Carefully remove the plastic cover below the windscreen removing the rubber seal to about half way. Lift the passenger side only. No need to remove the windscreen wipers. Once lifted you will be able to see the filter. There are 2 plastic clips at the top of the filter. One each side at the top. Flip those upwards and the filter will pull out. This also allows access to the top of the air conditioning fan.

There are a number of options for locating a Saab dealer. One may wish to visit the Saab website which allows one to search for dealers. Another option may be to use the Autotrader website to search for a dealer.

For an automatic, the dipstick is only accessible from under the car. So, you have to jack the car up, or put it on a lift, then you should see a green plastic dipstick on the top of the transmission. It's seen from on the right side of the vehicle. What a poor design.

The wiring diagrams for the Saab 900 are found in the Saab 900 16-valve Official Service Manual by Robert Bentley Publishers. This book covers 1985-1993 models with the B202 (16V) engine. The section on wiring diagrams is about 150 pages as the wiring is broken down by systems, e.g. Anti-Lock Brakes, Air Conditioning, Alternator & Charging System, etc.

Since you didn't specify, I will presume you mean the Classic 900 (1979-93).

Remove the steering wheel, remove the knee pad under the dash. Remove the turn signal switch being VERY careful to note which wires go where otherwise you'll have a big mess on your hands. Remove the wiper/washer switch.

There are four bolts that hold the collapsible cage for the steering column in place, plus the bolt at the bottom that connects everything to the steering rack.

Be very careful in re-installing everything as the alignment on the cross member is critical. If you get it wrong, the replacement cage will break when installing.

You Did not say what year SAAB, but on mt 1996 900S there are Two. Both go into the exaust pipe, on on the front side of the engine (just below the exhaust manifold) and one on the back side of the engine (below the intake manifold).

On the Saab 2.0T, 2004 and up, the oil filter is located on the left hand side, just below the side of the intake manifold. It uses a paper and plastic supported cartridge, not a spin on cannister filter as most vehicles do. You must start by removing the black plastic shield that extends towards the front of the vehicle that covers the intake manifold. It is attached to the valve cover with three torx screws . When you remove this you will see a round black plastic cover, about 3 inches in diameter on the left side, just below the corner of the intake manifold with what appears to be a large hex nut in the center on the top and hex shaped on the outside diameter of the cover. This cover requires a 67MM oil filter wrench, available at any decent auto parts supply house. I don't suggest using the hex nut in the center as it seems to stress the plastic cover. Use the aforementioned 67MM oil filter wrench. Be sure to keep it square with the surface of the oil filter cover. I found mine to be difficult to remove the first time. Fram makes the cartridge, however you will more than likely want to purchase an Oring for the cover and drain plug seal when you change the oil. They are not supplied with the cartridge. Be sure to lubricate the Oring once installed on the cover with clean oil. Be sure to run FULL SYNTHETIC OIL! I have an earlier 93 and they tend to get carbon and sludge and it plugs up the oil pump pick up when it winds up in the oil pan if you use semi-synthetic oils. I would also limit the intervals between changes to no more than 3500 miles, regardless of what the factory suggests. The 2004 and up 2.0T also uses 6.5 quarts of oil! Not four like the previous 2.0 and 2.3 that uses 4.1 quarts.

The dash speakers on the 1997 Saab 900 are 4 inches. The rear speakers and rear deck speakers are 4 inches by 6 inches, and the front door speakers are 5-1/4 inches.

most cars with key less entry have a key some where in the alarm its self that key can get you into the car but not turn on the car. to be able to turn on the car you would have to put a new battery in it. With this key you be able to at least gain entry.

try taking off the oil filler cap at the top of the engine...on my '95 turbo 900s that's where it was, the oil stick was attached to the oil filler cap.

grab a long piece of string, route it around skipping the ac and measure it. Make sure you compress thetensioner half way while doing so.

To tell if the windshield washer sprayer is bad on a 1995 Saab 900 all you need to do is use it. If it streaks, drain and replace with new fluid.

The Saab 900 is a compact luxury automobile that has been in production from 1978 to 1998. Since there are many different types of 900s, retailers can be found both online and at used car dealerships. Some online used car retailers include carpoint and carsguide.

Under the steering wheel with a little black cap on it, just about where your knees would go!

I just did this myself and it was easy, didn't even have to remove the door panel. I am not a mechanic and I did it in 15 minutes. This procedure also works with passenger side mirror.

1. Remove triangle shape cover inside the door by the mirror. I did it by hand.

2. Remove any foam to expose 3 bolts. You will need a hex tool to remove bolts

3. Disconnect electrical connector prior to removal

4. Installation of mirror is just the reverse.

Here is a diagram of the job:

There is a small plate with a grid of numbers and letters affixed under the hood. Recalls performed by a Saab dealership are stamped onto that plate. A Saab dealer can decypher the numbers on the plate to let you know which recalls have been performed.
