Hello, dear ones from the 9000 forum! 9000 CSE 2,3 Turbo MY 01/1998, 165 kW, approx. 209000 Km It caught me again: When giving gas in an AB driveway (do not believe that this can be the cause), suddenly the speed indicator fell abruptly to zero and no more general and daily kilometers were counted. The clock in the middle of the combi unit is dead. So I drove the other after speed or also ahead. In the first stop I then called i n the SAAB workshop (it was around 2 p.m. on Friday) and it was said that there could be primarily four causes, namely a worn pinion to the speed sensor or a bursted plastic ring that drives this pinion or cable break from the encoder to the combination device or marten bite. Now I worked my way through from the top to the gearbox on Whit Monday (screw off the heater, battery holder off) and found only TWO wires from the transmission. Type of encoder, which has an elastic cap in it, (looks like a Lambda probe, but is what is mechanical what is moving). When pressing in, there is contact, when releasing, it opens again. Is it a mechanical contact encoder that is driven over a cam and then integrated in the combi device? Or is it something else and the speed comes from somewhere else? The two wires that go “in” from there, I rang through and a resistance of about 78 ohms can be measured, “feeling” as if there was an electronics behind it. Would be very grateful for any hint that avoids a gearbox opening. Greetings from Nürnberg Waldemar
