- After buying our Saab 9-5 from an auction it required a lot of work to put it right but we succeeded. One of the main problems was an oil leak which we finally solved with a new crank seal, oil pump o ring and harmonic balancer.
We've also added a full set of Toyo tyres, EBC brakes, an alternator and some O rings. Since sorting the car it's covered 10,000 miles and now sits on 166,000. It's running and driving better than ever.
This video details much of the work done over the past few months.
I owned this and spent a lot of money (new turbo, all new suspension etc) it had been left in a storage yard with a window down in winter so it was in a state… anyway with several other projects on the go it went to WB where you got it from i’m pleased its still around 👍👍👍
I mentioned you at the start and the work done before I got it
@@OnceDrivenForeverSmitten so did you fit the blue subframe polybushes that came with the car? they make a hell of a difference and only need doing once!
This year saw me back in a 90s Vauxhall after 10 years. All under the influence of this channel! 😂
Look forward to 2024's adventrues.
Nice to know EBC are made in the UK. Just looked on the website - "EBC Brakes are made in one of its two specialist factories in the UK and USA. The majority of EBC brake discs or brake rotors are also made in the UK."
Simply Saab on the Reg plate. Been down in here at Bristol at some point. They were our biggest customer when I worked at the Saab dealer in Bristol 20 years ago.
9-5 Aero estate, an absolute weapon. Your videos are not only entertaining but extremely useful too. Thanks !!
Think I’ll be replacing the O rings on the dipstick on Sovvagn. Thanks for this, Looks easy enough.
Love the Fiesta « up your arse » As you say « see you later mate » 😂😂😂 All the joy of a 9-5 Aero 👌
Good stuff Dougie, well done on sticking with it and getting that oil leak solved. Your man might have got hos MOT Testers Licence but he needs to brush up on the yard manoeuvring 'donk'
Happy New Year Dougie, look forward to more videos next year
Happy new year dougie and family
Another great video has always Dougie 👍
Happy new year to everyone 🎉
Nice one dougie.
yep nice 1 dougie , whoeva u are
I'm the guy that does this channel 😊
Nice one you certainly never gave up with that one.
It’s great to see The Saab 9-5 back on the channel, glad to hear it’s now in good usable condition.
Happy New Year to you, Kenzo, Bob, and your family Dougie, I’m looking forward to more exciting content this year❤.
You need to stop buying cars that i get attached to. I always thought of the Omega as top dog estate car on your fleet but this too is a beast. You've created a great all weather mile muncher with all the work too.
Great video Dougie as usual all the best for 2024
These were also an amazing motor.
Agree one hundred percent on tyres make a huge difference
The Saab 9-5 saloon launch was 1997. The combi was released in 1999.
This would be a good car for the Auto Shenanigans (Motorways) youtube channel if you ever moved it on. His own Saab saloon usually appears in the background & has become part of the channel’s street scape furniture. Nice to watch a ‘saved’ video, I’ve had a similar experience tracking down rare parts for a car far & wide.
Great watching
Happy New Year Scottie, may your channel go from strength to strength in 2024.
You sounded just like me there,when i fix something. 'FIXED IIIT'. Apparently i say that all the time haha.
One of my favourite cars along with the omega
Always good to see you work on the fleet; happy new year!!
Hey mate, i just bought a ng 93 aero soft top 2 days ago thanks to your videos now you've uploaded another what a way to finish of the year, all the best for the new year Dougie ❤
Hi Dougie,I like SAABs but they are a bit troublesome,plus,you have to hunt around for spares nowdays.I'll stick with my humble Vectra A (C18NZ).Best wishes for 2024,be happy,healthy and safe.
Lucas oil stabalizer is good for making vauxhall gearboxes smoother , worked in whining M32 1 litre of and 2 Fuchs Titan Sintofluid.
Nice one on identifying the oil leak in the end. Glad you are getting on with it so well now. Saab seats make 100 mile journeys feel like only ten. Good to see an endorsment for Mannol oil, I was initially wary of it as I hadn't heard of the name before. Its great value though, 5L of 5/30 or 5/40 for just over £11 delivered from ebay. All the best for 2024 👍
That's very cheap usually nearer £20 for 5l
Hello bob
Happy new year to all
Happy new year 🎉🍾😉🏴
The 9-5 Aero is a phenomenal car when it's on song, but can be a terrible tit-spanner when it isn't, especially given that many spares for the 9-5 are these days either tricky to find or are NLA. I'm glad that I had the chance to own one as a daily driver for several years.
By the way, when's the next T&D podcast coming out? I was introduced to the podcast by my online pal Niall Barkley a couple of months ago and listened to the whole run while tramping around the country. Excellent listening.
really odd to hear you say that. i completely rebuilt my 9-5 and have not found a single thing I could not source from multiple places in us or Sweden or UK....just bought every suspension bushing. DIC might be a little bit harder but can be found.
Happy new year
You got there as that oil leak was a pain in the ass nice to see its pleaseing you seen a saab 93aero ttid4 other day ill assume it be a 3liter one
1.9
Nice car. What happened about the front bumper at the end? Any damage?
Thing is these engine do breath quiet abit any how.
What oil do you use? 5w/40? 😊
I think I'd drain and reuse an old oil filter rather than a cheap crappy fake Crosland from Halfords.....
Wiith all those oil leaks I'd suspect the engine of overpressuring, crankcase vent blocked or blowby.. ?
