You got it!

Honestly means a ton. Trying to do what I can with the resources I’ve got😀.

Body rot beyond repair. It was awful 😢

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👍

Doing my best to fill the gaps in Saab internet visual guides!

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.

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 👍

Exactly why I made the video! I seek to educate and help others. 😃

It would probably hold up, but I would remove it. It’s simple enough to remove. 😀

Yes I hope I made this clear when I said carbon fiber wrap 😆

Excellent suggestion! I’ll make sure to do so and film it.

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.

Very understandable. Thanks for your comment. I like hearing owner’s preferences!

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.

Hey there, definitely has happened! tap out the old slider from each part of the connector (im assuming the top that you pull on broke off) A pick or flathead should fit through each section of the electrical connection. This will allow you to unplug it. Then what I have done to secure it is take a long zip tie and loop it through the connection to finish it off. If this is confusing message me on Instagram and I can give you a video tutorial.

So true! Excellent comment.

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.

I didn’t do a high beam demonstration. They are much better than the regular bulbs I had in the car.

Walboro 450 LPH from Vermont tuning.

@@SolvingSaab thank you!

Stock flywheel, oem sachs clutch kit.

Unfortunately no, I’ve never had to do it. Fingers crossed that one breaks soon so I can make a video 🤣.

Like what?

@@alxelin9546 I am very confused 🤣. Please reach out on Instagram, I’m currently working on restoring a turbo x. The car in this video is finished.
