New pumps are between $300-500. If you have the tools, time, skill, and patience, a rebuild kit is around $30-40. I am not responsible for your pump, this video is to purely document my own progress. No guarantees. Good luck, and hope this is helpful. Skipped brush replacement because I couldn’t find my soldering gun, and the OG brushes were at 3/4 life after 190k miles.

Finally! There's a vid for that rear engine mount on the V6. Seems like a bit of work. Mine totally needs changing.
I just have a question for you! If I have in stock a Differential Pump not ELSD can I put it on my car that have ELSD ? thx
@@Marc-AndreRiendeau-jf4nr LSD and ELSD pumps are not interchangeable because they have different plugs. The kit in the video will fix both though because they are the same internally.
Good morning ! Do you know if you can change the power steering pump with where you are in the video? THANKS
@@mareautech6067 Should be able to, ive removed power steering from the top and bottom. Just requires patience.
Yes, check out The Flying MechanicDIY, he has a video on what's required, I should have a comment there with some tips as well.
So just to be sure these are plug and play?
@@esiasonR77 if you have xenon lights then they should be. It worked for me as plug and play.
My god you must have small hands, getting hose on back back on is killing me
@@ryanh6081 Lmao, hands arent small. Indeed this job can be painful. 🤣
Hi, thanks for posting, I’ve order the LEDS, will let you know how it works ‼️
Thank you!
You got it!
Is the odometer sold?
Is the rear door panel up for sale?
Hands down the most useful Saab channel. It is unbelievably hard to find videos on Saab’s 2.8 platform. Thank you man
Honestly means a ton. Trying to do what I can with the resources I’ve got😀.
Needs back box delete
Nice!
Why was that turbo x parted out tho, looked clean 😢
Body rot beyond repair. It was awful 😢
Any tips to replace AC compressor clutch coil on 2.8t engine?
Unfortunately no, I completely deleted my AC following a car accident that severed my lines. Because I am AC certified I am required to recommend that AC systems are always worked on by a professional shop.
@@SolvingSaab I supplied 12v directly to the AC compressor clutch coil connector and the clutch is not engaging, measured the resistance at the connector, it is open circuit so the coil is burned, I got a new coil in hand but by looking down there, there is no room the disassemble the AC clutch, nit sure removing the compressor mounting bolts and let it hanging would give enough space to remove the AC clutch, looks a really pain to do that, might just bring the car to a shop and let them do it, thanks, love youR contents👍
Wherever you got that griffin bumper please link sos 😭
Esaabparts when they were still available 5 years ago…
Thanks 👍
Realizing I failed to mention the alternator voltage regulator with built in brushes comes off after removing screws on the rectifier bridge at 4:21. It just pulls off, easy to reinstall at the end of the rebuild.
Know offhand what makes rhe alternators on these cars whistle? Dead diode?
Thanks for the info 👍🇺🇸
Doing my best to fill the gaps in Saab internet visual guides!
Have you upgraded all the other bulbs to led? Thanks for the videos
Hi, can you share where you get it from? I have 08 Saab 93 aero convertible
To those watching, never do this. cutting part of the chase to replace your fuel pump is a dumb idea, and your car will be structurally weaker if you do it. Please for the love of god never do this dumb shit.
For the love of god, it doesn’t matter. Literally everyone with a turbo x or aero xwd does this. If you reinforce it when you are done it’s fine.
@@SolvingSaab 1-No matter how much you may try to reinforce it, it will never be the same again. this is why cars that have been in sever crashes or have had rust are worth less. 2-No, I know several xwd cars without this bullshit.
@@yt-is-mal If you could stop treating me like a dumbass in my own comments section that would be fantastic. For starters, I have my degree in automotive technology. I am also an ex auto body/ collision technician, so I know a thing or two about crashes. Next I should state, duh not everyone has this done to their car. I am talking about reputable tuners for these cars, and specifically people who race them. This hole is made for quick pump access for racing purposes. This is for people who race their cars and don’t care as much about chassis rigidity. I should have started off my reply by telling you, yes you are correct. The chassis will never be the same, congrats. But whether or not it actually matter due to all the other body reinforcements in the area (frames, arms, etc.) is up for debate. Thanks for watching my video. Have a good day.
@@SolvingSaab I apologize for the condescending way I spoke previously. What I will say is that I still stand by everything I have said before about it negatively effecting the chase. You can have all the reinforcements you want but the car will still be weaker then one without this. Have a good rest of your day.
I recently got in a situation where I need to replace my radiator, as a teenager who’s this is his first car working on, this is a VERY big help. Thank you.
So what do you do with the very small silver washer that comes with it?
Excellent video 👍 What fault code did you have?
C0407-64 low oil pressure. I knew it wasn’t the clutch seal because I did that fix already and fluids were not cross contaminated.
@@SolvingSaab I have owned my TX for 13yrs and got my first XWD fault code last week. Not had a chance to investigate the code is C040704 WIS says AWD Oil Pump Motor Open. The differential clutch pump current is less than 0.3 A for 30 s. I will need to investigate.
@@firesaab31 that may be a bad pump, try a xwd service and that may fix it.
@@SolvingSaab I have serviced my Haldex every 2yrs since owning the car despite covering just 3000 miles a year. I serviced just a few weeks ago. I should have time to investigate next week. Keep up with good work and keep posting videos 👍
Didnt even realize this was a thing. Adding it to my knowledge bank!
Exactly why I made the video! I seek to educate and help others. 😃
Do you have any TurboX parts for sale? Interested in the spoiler off the “old” trunk! I sent you instagram message…..great job on this restoration project!
Thanks I appreciate the video. After installing my new tank I was still getting the low coolant message. So I cleaned the plug with electrical cleaner and used a Q-tip to take out any debris and that solved it.
Great video! Would I need to remove it if it took my car through an automatic car wash with it on? Would it tear it off?
It would probably hold up, but I would remove it. It’s simple enough to remove. 😀
Good stuff my guy. I was able to get the exhaust, rear diffuser and the nav from that very TurboX onto my Combi. Atleast that TX didnt die in vain! its parts will live on in many other 9³s.
if you get an extra Do 88charge pipe I would be interested in buying it.
Thank you for saving the Turbo X. I still regret selling mine.
keep up the videos man great stuff
vinyl wrap, not real carbon. good stuff!
Yes I hope I made this clear when I said carbon fiber wrap 😆
This makes me so happy. I'd love to own one of these someday when I strike it rich and can afford all my car habits haha. Nice work!
Well done, gr8 to see soemone rescue this cars! Remember to fix the tail lights, i see some vapor in them, cheers :D
Excellent suggestion! I’ll make sure to do so and film it.
Good stuff dude!!! Thanks for saving these rare unicorns!!
Awesome that you're restoring this little beast, another TX owner here in the UK. 👍
Great watch bro. Goodluck with the TX. Have one myself. Love seeing people take care and trying their best to work on these cars. It's not easy, but worth it in the long run.
thanks for that!
This video helped me. Thanks for showing in detail how that side bolster was installed.
do u have the maptun light programer? cuz i tried n somehow it flickers "not this specific one" or do these come with that chip inside so they dont have that issue on flickers? and do they bolt on to the OEM connectors?
From my understanding If you try to install LEDs on a non xenon or pre 2008 car they will flicker. These specific bulbs I have picked out for the 2008-12 have a resistor/chip that makes them not flicker for these specific years as long as they are replacing a xenon bulb.
Owned several 9-3s with the B284R and enjoyed them but unfortunately the engine bay is just too small for a turbocharged V6 in my opinion, resulting in excessive heat throughout the engine bay due to the limited mounting options for the turbo. Ultimately, I went back to the Ecotec 2.0L because it's lighter, gets better gas mileage and generally easier to work on. Of course, the downside is that the 2.0L doesn't have the same potential for HP, at least without spending more money.
Can you just purchase the sensor?
Yes it’s on Amazon for about 12.99. The reservoir I cut up was already broken. I wanted to see what it looked like inside.
@@SolvingSaab Thanks. My tank is good the sensor is bad as it's showing coolant level low. Have to replace the radiator so figured I'd take care of this also.
Can't seem to find this part anywhere. Saab part Saab Engine Coolant Level Sensor - Genuine Saab 13271444. However it says it's for 9-5 V6. Mine 06 9-3 V6 turbo
@@tpdtopcop2010 I am pretty sure that will work. They are cheap on Amazon and advanced auto.
Thanks for all your vids. I was watching your radiator removal video hoping to see you remove the electrical connector to the cooling fans. I was attempting to remove by sliding out the tabs but it broke. Has this ever happened to you? If so, how did you first remove and then repair? Thank you!
The Saab 2.8 is a Holden engine made in Melbourne Australia. It’s part of the Alloytec V6 engine from GM. Mace engineering has coil packs, camshafts, valve springs, manifold insulators. Holden also made natural aspirated versions in 3.2 and 3.6L
So true! Excellent comment.
Did you get any error code about headlight? I tried using led fog bulbs and gave an error even thoughit state it has canbus error eliminator.
Did not get an error. This is due to the ‘code eliminator’ but also because I found bulbs with the correct electrical spec to match oem bulbs just in case. I have Never put in led fogs, I would try finding a set with similar output to the oem.
Thanks for this!!
They look just as bright as the xenon bulbs I used rated at only 4300k
I didn’t do a high beam demonstration. They are much better than the regular bulbs I had in the car.
