Thanks so much for owning a v6. Most other DIY jobs are 2.0 I4.
yep, unfortunately haha. I make all of the DIY vids I can for the 2.8
I'm glad to see an easy water pump replacement on a saab 9-3 V-6. Contrasting to the difficult replacement on a 9-3 2.0 t.. Great post Auto A..
Thanks!
I remember mentioning replacing the waterpump when you were in there earlier. Glad you got it done.
yep, probably should have just done it the first time lol
Your videos are so didactical and very motivational to be a DIY with my 2005 9-5 Aero. Many thanks for share your knowledge, courage and abilities. Have you make a video for B235R engines ? I.e. How to time the engine or engine gasket replacement? Saludos from Chile !!🇨🇱
thank you! And no I haven't; i don't have much 9-5 content on the channel, sorry
Great video! Good catch on the engine support, and yes it is one of the easiest parts to replace on that motor.
On the v6 leak checks, check your email. Sent pics. There are 3 gaskets right above that pump.
Hope you already got them all. If not, it is an easy job now that you are used to working in that area.
yes! Thanks for the emails. Already did those gasket
what 3 gaskets? I'm new to owning a 2.8
@@chrisbartkowicz2759 where the coolant pipe connections hit the engine, right above the pump. Actually tgere are only 2, a pipe o-ring and an outlet gasket. The third place is the thermostat assembly on the right side of the engine, which has o-rings and a tendency to leak
I was wondering if you can replace the serpentine belt through just the engine bay, online it says to take off wheel well liner and go from down there and the engine bay. Thanks for all the videos and for being so responsive, you're a lifesaver!
thanks! it's probably best to take off the wheel liner. i imagine it would be very very difficult if not impossible to do it without the wheel off
Its good to see you carrying out all the jobs yourself!! Wait till you get the stretched chains like I did on my 06 2.8T!!
oh no...
I think it was an issue on earlier models, they used a harder metal from 07 onwards, some of the online chat groups have chasis numbers and dates. I spent the day with a guy who swapped mine for new US imported chains, massive 6/7 hour job.
Another great DIY video...you really do make it look easy. Thanks for the info!
thanks!
I drove my Turbo X from Kansas City to NYC! You should be fine taking yours 2k miles 🙂
hope so!
Very helpful. My 06 9-3 2.0t just started leaking coolant as well.
good luck!
I have a ‘07 Aero. What do you think about Saab returning? They haven’t formally announced it but they did stress to “keep current Saab owners” on the road as long as possible with the parts warranty announcement at the top of the year. They also didn’t allow a Chinese company to take over the Saab Automobile tm. Not gonna lie, I only want another Saab to replace mines whenever that is
Hate to say it, but they're not coming back
Great job. Enjoy the convention.
thanks!
Just a heads up: I’d advice you to replace the bolts to the engine mount, they are on most cars, stretch bolts that need a certain torque and degrees on them so after they’ve been taken off most manufacturers advice to replace them.
Great DIY though, looks like a dead easy job :)
thanks for the advice
Is this the z28net engine please, great job and very informative btw
Saab in the WIS to release the belt tension on the 2.8 V6 engine says to use the 1/2 insert tool. The tool you used to release tension which insert did it have? 1/2 or 3/8? There is some confusion as to which insert should be used and perhaps the one indicated in the 1/2 WIS is incorrect and the 3/8 one should be used ?
Awesome video! I just wish the water pump on my '08 9-3 2.0 would be that easy, just hoping it lasts a while.
Me too, lol
Quick question. What was used to pry the belt off? Is it a special tool?
Just out of curiosity, how much more work would it be to change the belt at the same time? Is it even doable with just that mount removed?
When I did the belt I took the wheel and fender liner out too (see video I linked where I replaced the gaskets). Not very hard! :)
@@AutoAutopsy Good to hear. My Aero is starting to be in need of a new belt and I just can't bring myself to pay someone to do it, if its doable on a parking lot =D
I am trying to find the video of you changing the cam belt as I have both the cambelt and the waterpump to change on my saab 9-3 aero 2.8 v6 turbo 57 plate 🍽 255 bhp
Ouch. the timing chain on yhe 2.8T is a car killer, big big job. Most technicians say engine out!!
So youve always been who i go to when i need help, i also own the 2.8 and been tracking down all my leaks as well so hopefully you can help me. Have you ever had a coolant leak coming off the starter then it drips down the oil filter housing then to the ground ...
So somewhere above the starter i just cant find it
i have not; i can't quite picture what cooling lines run above that, either. sorry!
Did you have to take off the axle I went to Christian brothers auto in Hixson Tennessee and they took off the axle to get to it and charged 15 hundred dollars and are taking like 23 hours to fix it.
wait, you have Swedish plates on it 😄👍
Fun fact. That plate is currently registered on a '19 Škoda (part of the VW group)
Yes I do!
Great video. Having problems with mine. Getting the coolant level low warning but noticed the cap was bad. Replaced cap and now getting dripping from overflow hose after car has been driven and it sits. maybe I overfilled tank? Maybe put new tank in to eliminate that is a problem? I don't see any leaks from tank or seams and hoses are all good. Not getting any bubbling in the tank when cap off so I don't believe it's a head problem. Could it be a thermostat problem? Re he car heats and cools like it should and the temp gauge pegs at the usual half way mark!
maybe you overfilled it; could also be a bad tank if you already replaced the cap
Well done. Good job.
Thanks!
Good job
Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Have you got a video on the 4cyl 2.0T? TIA.
No i don't sorry!
nice work!
thanks!
Отличная работа!
Is the v6 better than the v4?
Thank you again! Do you think water pump and thermostat needs to be replaced together? Also temperature sender sensor after so many miles?
thermostat was not replaced; its on the opposite side of the motor
@@AutoAutopsy under the turbo?
I can see a 9-5 Aero in your future...
Heh, maybe. My dad already has one
Amazing video
Thanks!
How much farther to get to the timing chains? Going to pick up a tx that has the p0016 and p0018 and needs the timing chains replaced.
I haven’t ever messed with them so I wouldn’t know, sorry :/
@Auto Autopsy Can you change the belt from the top or do you have to go from the wheel well with the breaker on the tensioner?
it doesn't take much time to jack up the car and remove the necessary parts from below. it'll be easier that way
Good viedo perfect to teach how to !
Thanks!
I need a few minutes before I go to the water pump in my 2001saabwaterpump
if its a 2001 it will be entirely different than this
Awesome video! Would this be the same for 2007 93 2.8?
thanks, yes it would be
So any update @AutoAutopsy on whether the water pump finally fixed it?????
Yes.
i have a 2004 Saab Arc 9.3 Turbo...i purchased it at 160,000 miles 6 months later I replaced the water pump and overflow reservoir, replaced valve covers and pan gasket, replaced A/C compressor and turbo. left me stranded on the road...Whats next? Everyone says these are great cars im just not seeing it... Whats next? can you tell me so I can go ahead and buy the parts now.....uggg
this car has a completely different drivetrain than the one you're talking about. here's a video with possible common problems: ua-cam.com/video/4LDQ93VMlww/v-deo.html
Were is the thermostat locateded on 2007 saab aero turbo v6
other side of the motor i believe; go on esaabparts and there will be a diagram
@@AutoAutopsy thanks
Now you listen here son. You done best be driving that ol turbo x to that goofy little saab meet in Colorado, ya understand?
ha, will do
Hope its this easy doing it on my 2.0
nope :/
I think these are the three seals you purchased, correct: www.esaabparts.com/saab/parts/93280005 . anything else you recommend when chasing down a leak and are replacing the the water pump too?
yep, that's them! That's really all you can replace cooling wise that's in that area :)
AC Delco gasket number 12660159

Thank god it wasn't on the B207R. It would take me a few days.
Saab_lyfe190 wow really? i had a mechanic do it for 300 dollars and it only took him like 3 days
haha yeah. On my B235R i spent 6 hours to change the waterpump. Looks like there is enough space in a Saab with 6 cyl. engine. Working at 4cyl in 9-5 is pain in the ass sometimes.
@@2FLY_M5c lol excellent price. Cheap labor costs... Lol
Saab_lyfe190 yeah i never go to the shop they was charging 900 . went to my mechanic he only charged 300. i could of did it my self but i wanted to see how my mechanic did it . He basically worked from the top of the engine .
@@2FLY_M5c i do all my own work also... No mechanic!!!
Just for $300, is an awesome price..
