  • Strange clutch problem

    All Saabists first have a healthy New Year, power and success. May the Saab run for all eternity. Have problems with the clutch since my return from Luxembourg. The clutch pedal stays down when I press the clutch. The level of the brake fluid is between Min and Max. Now the car stood a few days and I have noticed that the level of the brake fluid has risen far above Max. Engine started and the level sinks again between Min and Max. Could it s Is there any air coming into the system? Couldn’t detect leaks. Everything so dry. Or is that the driver cylinder? Only the level of the brake fluid remains at the same level between Min and Max, no matter how often I press the clutch. If a cylinder had a leak, would the brake fluid level have to sink steadily or am I wrong? Does someone ever have the quickest new year’s tip ready?

  • Disassembly of joint shafts

    Hello, just try to get the outer joint shaft, which is secured with an outer locking ring. So far everything was no problem, but somehow I can not separate the joint from the shaft. Since the locking ring is NOT a seagerring, I of course also could not use a seagerring tong, but a special straightened to spread the ring. But nevertheless the joint does not go away so easily. I also do not want the shaft from the i What do I do wrong – do you have to buy the special pliers available at Hazet with the very flat plates or do you just have to use violence? Does the part fit so tight? Does someone have a tip for me?

  • Saab 9000 – Buy?

    This is what I’m talking about:http://tinyurl.com/pe2lck , engine is the B234I, if I see it right. “Vehicle is restless” I would at best tap on uncleanly adjusted stand gas, at worst on finished compensation shafts. What would new compensation shafts cost including installation? What are the weak points where I should look for? Control chains clear, and otherwise? According to the seller, an ignition coil is also over. How much am I going to go there?

  • Manual transmission 9000er

    Thanks for the hints. I brought the car back to the workshop. The switchbar has been readjusted and new synthetic oil filled in. Works well now.

  • SAAB 9000 2.3 Turbo Aero 1995 does not start

    Hello together! As you can see I’m new here. I have read and seen some of your contributions about SAAB, which are not only SAAB lovers, but also real professionals present here. For this reason I turn to you now. I have a 1995 he 9000 2.3 Aero Turbo (Automatics) For some uninventive reason he does not want to start. After countless measurements, parts swapping etc. I tried to get myself a TECH 2. Here also my question immediately: The only thing I don’t see is the crankshaft sensor. Is that in the TECH 2 under the item “Knock sensor”? It doesn’t have a tap sensor to my knowledge. I changed the camshaft sensor, but it still doesn’t want to start. In the TECH 2 I don’t see any values ( volts) under “knock sensor “. I’m really happy if someone could help me a little. Thank you in advance.

  • head seal part 2

    moin , now I have taken my head down today to change the seal ……… to my horror I found that the old head seal was actually quite ok (only bit old and reudig) because of that sometimes a quick question; can it still have been broken (even without which you can see the optically ) and the old as well as the new head seal some water channels is normal ? (I had thought about broken head seal since the car hardly Leistun g had run and bezin in oil and oil in water….naja and halt completely restless ….

  • Flasher for 9000 CC “Flachschnauzer”

    Moin moin, I would like to ask you for a few “addresses” where I could get the turn signals with integrated return light. I know that this is forbidden in Germany. And another question of pure interest: Is in the American version of the Saab 9000 CC with the turn signals the side yellow reflector equipped with an “active light” or is it in the Amiversion as in the European one. I think these questions have already been asked, but unfortunately I have no en thread found via the search function. Greeting, 9000i
