Saab

There is no transmission filter on the Saab 9-5 Automatic. It is recommended to do 3 separate fluid changes at about 1 week intervals to change out most of the old fluid with new.

Saab engines are available directly from Saab as well as Re-manufactured Engines, eBay, SW Engines, The Auto Channel, Saab Central, Got Engines, and Parts for Saabs.

6 quarts, per the manual. It takes a cartridge filter, not a cannister like most other cars.

pull the battrey cable pos lead this will reset but it will come back on again go to auto Zone they will read the codes and tell what is bad

i have bee trying to find out the exact same thing and so far from what i have read, the whole front end has to come off to replace the radiator in a 98 saab 900. did you find any other way to do it?

mine was at the garage yesterday, and they took out the carpet around the passenger footwell, behind the controls for access.

I am assuming this is not a 2003 Saab 93 convertible. I don't have any specific details about that particular model.

All other 2003 Saab 93s take a BCI group size 48[1] battery. This battery is available (in the USA) almost anywhere that sells car batteries, even if they don't list the Saab 93 in their application guide. A BCI group 47 battery, which is smaller, can also be used if a group 48 battery is not available.

To replace the battery:

1. remove the battery cover (two plastic screw clips)

2. make sure the key is out of the ignition switch,

3. disconnect the negative terminal with a wrench

4. disconnect the positive terminal with a wrench

5. use a socket and an extension to remove the battery hold-down on the edge of the battery

6. remove the battery from the tray

To install the battery:

1. put the battery in the tray

2. use a socket and an extension to tighten the hold-down on the edge of the battery (if you use a group 47 battery you will need to install the hold-down bolt in a different hole than it was in with the original group 48 size battery).

3. connect the positive terminal with a wrench. (It may be necessary to trim the edge of the battery tray with a file due to the fact that many group 48/47 batteries are a little shorter than the original battery. If the terminal hits the edge of the battery tray this is why)

4. connect the negative terminal with a wrench.

5. replace the battery cover.

[1]In the USA car battery sizes are specified as group sizes. In Europe DIN sizes are used. I have no idea what the equivalent DIN sizes for the Saab battery are, but in Europe I suspect there will be no problem finding on that fits.

Online websites like Auto Trader has more than 2,000 listings on used Saab cars in UK. A Saab car dealer, on the other hand, is able to provide more personalised and professional advice.

Yes, there is a dip stick.

Ford has never owned Saab. General Motors bought a 50% interest in Saab in 1989. In 2000 GM bough the company outright. In 2010 GM sold Saab to Spyker Motors. GM was to supply engines and technology to Saab. When Spyker tried to sell Saab to a Chinese company GM blocked the sale. Saab filed for bankrupcy in 2011. In 2012 Saab was sold to a Chinese consortium called National Electric Vehicle Sweden. As of May 2014 all production of Saab vehicles stopped. Production may begin again at a later date and it may not.

you must first remove the axle then watch some tv. then toast some lovely crumpets and tea with jam.

Yes Many, the latest one was at 2012 UK FiFi Awards

Saab Automobile is a Swedish manufacturer. GM initially bought 50% of Saab in 1999 and bought the rest of the company is 2000. They then sold Saab to Spyker Cars.

obd2 were required on 96 and later cars, and by the specifications for it, it should be under the steering column or have a label there telling where it is. Earlier cars have the more generic obd sensors, which can be slightly different between manufacturers.

As such a reader for obd2 is not usually compatible with older cars. I am not sure where the obe sensor is on pre-1996 saab 900s.

Visit the saabsite . com and they will explain it through the forums. Basically it is a bitch to do. I have a 900 as well, and you have to remove the console. good luck

87-89 saabs are the same. go in the hatchback area just above where the spare tire sits and you will have to remove the screws holding down the carpet, once removed you will see a access panel. remove the 2 screws and you will see the fuel pump it has a big rubber piece around it.

Did to disarm anti theft system on 98 Saab. Remote control is broken.

Any suggestion?

Presuming you are asking about the 5-speed and not the automatic.

It is on the bottom of the transmission, and is recessed. It requires a special tool.


Later 900s did not have a drain plug for the transmission.

In the gas tank.

Open the hood, remove the rubber cover for the high beam bulb (inboard bulb, closer to the radiator), remove high beam bulb and next to it inside the light assembly is the position light bulb. Using a pair of long and 45degree needle nose pliers gently grab the position light bulb socket and pull it straight out! Do not pull on wires and I had to remove my air filter box cover to get my big hands behind the light assembly! Bulb is a W5W, buy it before starting this job!

Sweden

just spoke to a man at the mot station he said they have timing chains

If you're in the US they do--and since that's the only kind it's legal to use on the roads in the United States, it would have to use it. You can still get leaded gas in the US, but it's for airplanes or racing cars and can't be used on the public roads.

It depends on why you need one and how mechanically inclined you are. And also whether there's an inline 4 or a V6 in your car.

It's going to cost you a couple hundred bucks for all the parts you need. If you can pull the heads, have them machined and reassemble everything, maybe $300.

To have a mechanic do it is probably a $1500 job.

Just use ATF automatic or MTF manual tranny fluid
