- Made a video of the update kit from eeuroparts because I couldn't find one on here. By no means am I an expert. ... But I struggled through the diagrams and finally figured out the correct way to route the kit. Hope this helps someone.
I personally own a 99 9-3 so I have a T5 engine and don't have this problem but it sure is nice to see this vid as it effects many SAAB owners.
Ron also dropped some Gems.
Good stuff.
Thanks mate, it was a great help. Just completed the same replacement tonight. Your vid helped me avoid a few time consuming errors. You're right about the diagram,it was definitely confusing!
In case you haven't already done it, just a reminder to desludge the sump and clean the oil pickup. Or even replace the pickup mesh with something not as fine. My 2002 9-3 with only 50k miles on it was 30% blocked. There are plenty of instructional sites out there. Now,...I'm gunna have too many beers,
Thank you so very much for the video. I just bought a 2002 9-3 T with 90,000 miles on it and I've been chasing problem after problem with it. Got the same update kit from EEuro and the online pdf isn't meant for novices. I had no clue either. Seeing the arrows on the lines once installed helped a lot. There's still a few things I still don't get but this helped me get started.
Wish me luck...
And again, thank you for posting this.
No problem, congrats on the car..... And good luck haha
Informative video. Going to tackle this project next weekend. One day my car will see the VA roads again!
I'm in 757, hope you get it going too buddy.
If the 9-3 is similar to the 9-5, the check engine light may indicate a fault in throttle body assembly. The throttle body solenoid may be in "limp home mode". Take at look at that, it may address the problem. Good video.
Ended up replacing the throttle body. Runs like a champ
The kit replaces the oil “catch” can and then delivers the excess sludge blow by directly into the oil crankcase. Less chance of blowing the oil out as my 93 did.
Thanks for vid. I have a 2003 9-3 Linear and the check engine light has been on since I bought it. It says it’s the throttle body, so maybe it’s the same problem. At least I know where to look.
Ricky,
I ended up replacing the oil trap that same day. It was fairly easy to get to without getting underneath the car. As far as the Tubes go.... It's hard for me to explain. I just replaced the ones that came with the kit.
Great video, thanks for posting it up.....I'm about to do this upgrade on my 2001 9-3 HOT Aero......this video is a great help.
Good Video you should me where I was confused. Slobs are crazy mothers all different. But run nice when you figure it Out. Thanks
Very nice vid, congrats on the car. super fun, can be a fairly quick and fun car with cheap and simple mods.
Apprishiate your effort, like your sence of humor. Understand that you are like most of us when it comes to sollutions, cant help that I getting a feeling of some old comedy episodes frome faulty towers, or an american classic: whats on second base...
Anyhow thanks for your video, it was entertaining.
You should mention a check valve is just that "a Check" it will only allow flow in one direction. Be sure you don't flip it around or you may have oil going every where like one of the post describe.
Hey thanks for the video.
I've looked hours to find a video on this. I could also let a mecanic do it
but it looks not too complicated
Yes in my experience mechanics aren't needed for most fixes.
Must be something wrong with the kits they bought or it wasn't installed correctly. I have driven roughly 20k miles since the update and haven't had any problems at all. Runs strong as can be. Best of luck
Oil trapped its the name i believed i change that on my prior car that was a volvo. That part in a volvo gets clog n creates a pressure on the engine n its like sludge buildup n its what kills the engine quicker.. The funny thing in my case is u have to take the fuil rail n alot of stuff that was the first time ever i done working on a car i know the basics cause muat of the times il take it to the shop no problen but that time i had to i educated my self i saw over 200 videos about volvos on youtube i took that oil trap without taking the whole fuel rail n everything dont feel bad let those comments come cause that shows one thing u took step up. My younger he started just like you n myself workin on his car. I saw him taking the whole engine on his 350 he rebuilt it put it back in. Hey theres some people who say they know that know way more then those they know..mm but the only thing they Know is not acceptin their mistakes
good video.your moms hilarious
Haha it's actually
My wife, I was referencing the video where the kid shoves the remote up his ass when his mom took his WOW account away from him.
+blake jones I have a 2000 9/3 T5 and the recall was updated and seems fine, however, running synthetic motor oil and a high grade oil filter (Bosch D3330) is what really keeps sludge buildup to a minimum.
What tube plugs into the oil catch can hole on the right?
Good vid, and screw the know it all's
Thanks man yes indeed
Great video there's a small hose with a white plastic piece attach to the nipple of the pcv breather hose on the valve cover... You didn't show where it connects to..can you help me bro
Sorry man didn't see this. Hope you got it fixed
That's at 1:45 into your video.
Hi Blake. Man I'm working on fixing my girlfriends Saab. She needs this update. Since July, where you chose not to replace the oil trap (the box with the two lower male tubes), did you ever replace it, or are you OK with having left the old one on?
Secondly I can't see which hoses go on to all those 3 (looks like one on top and two on bottom?? How many and which ones get new hoses from the kit? Thanks. Rick
I replaced it right after the video. Sorry can't help with other questions buddy. It's been so long since I did the update
I recommend keeping the old pcv system. This update has failed me and other Saab owners I know. You'll see what I mean when oil starts blowing out everywhere after you put in the update.
Never had that problem, best of luck
+blake jones I see it as highly recommended. The mechanic I worked with even told me that he goes back to the original set up for many of his customers. Thanks.
did you succeed in upgrading without changing the old oil trap? just wanted to know if this was possible.
I ended up replacing it the same day. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Good
Luck
just bought a 9-3 2003 convertible
Quick question! My neighbor has a saab like this one and its blowing white/gray smoke out of the exhaust and I was wondering if the new oil trap and kit would fix it?
Blown turbo
Could be blown head gasket check for water bubbles or antifreeze in the oil. Can cause the turbo to shoot steam out the exhaust. Nano liquid head gasket repair works like a champ and sells for under 20 bucks. Must flush all antifreeze out of system before using product. Follow directions carefully and it works like a champ in under 30 minutes.
so how did the finished project run?
evap system
$250?!?!
