Fun video...nice to see Sara on camera for a change!
Thanks! :)
Another great video, thanks for all the great content!
thank you Clark!
Great stuff as usual. I will be painting the cowel on my 95 now.
Great! Appreciate it
Love the Double-y's! One of the most Saabish rims out there. A very cool play on Saab's 3 spoke quirkiness.
Common spots for oil leaks on the NG 9-3's.
-Oil sensor on the rear face of oil pan, pan has to be pulled to replace that o-ring. (Very common. Easy to drop the 2.0's pan, however, The V6 needs engine-pulled to fix, stupid GM...)
-Valve cover gasket fails, either dumping it down the side of motor, or filling up spark plug hole with oil, gross.
-Power steering pump inner seal fails, sucking oil from the engine, overfilling the pump reservoir and causing it to vent out the top, all over the area.
-Vaccuum pump seals go out, same thing, engine oil ooze and sometimes oil sucked into the intake, causing smoky exhaust and cat fouling.
-AC pump hose fails, leaking out the yellow AC oil, not very common on these.
-Rear diff can crack if not properly maintenanced(See Saab Dr's channel for that)
Anyone have any other areas they noticed on their Saabs?
that's about all of them
Key to painting is multiple light coats
Thought they stop selling Saab in the USA. Did you know that Saab made a 2stroke engine!.
When I was growing up in Berkeley, Oakland, I learned how to drive in a saab 96. That was a fun car to drive.
lol i mean yeah saab is no longer made but this is a 15 year old car
@@AutoAutopsy >>Wonder if car is available in other States/Countries, like Canada??
Saab was a very good car,a bit expensive to repair,but good. 🤔🙂
Thanks for the updates! You called the problem with my Saab a few videos ago with the key not turning. New ism installed $475 at AAA.
yikes!
you got ripped
I figured so took them 4 days to “diagnose” I honestly have zero no how when it comes to cars I just know when things are going bad not how to fix them
That intro....you improved on a good thing. The Turbo-X sounded vicious. Those aero wheels are the exact ones I've been wanting for The 9000T. I dont want to mess with adapters though, wish I could switch the whole rotor out.
thanks! not sure what brakes you're referring to here!
@@AutoAutopsy lol i was tired, i believe i meant the hubs. I've got 4x108 lug pattern.
Satin black will make plastic and rubber look like new. Try Bowdens "Mr Black" trim restorer, it's more like a black dye and lasts about a year. After using Autoglym Trim Gel for years (which only lasted about 3 weeks) Mr Black is the way to go. Svenska is coming along nicely!
yeah, trim restorer has worked relatively well for me in the past, but sometimes the trim is too far gone (see my old cowl). hopefully this will last forever!
I had a 2007 9-3 Aero for a few years, put 60,000 miles on it and blew out the rear main seal from pushing it too hard from upping the boost way too much lol. Really wish I could find another. If you ever wanna sell one of your cheaper ones I would be ecstatic to have a chance to buy
not selling any, and definitely not cheap! shame to hear about your car :(
Absolutely love you channel and have just purchased a white 2008 aero cab ttid ... have a rattle from behind dash at around 1700 rpm but sounds like.plastic behind dash and driving me crazy haha otherwise I adore the car
Thank you! I appreciate the support. Those rattles can be annoying 🤦🏻♂️
@@AutoAutopsy certainly can when I've stripped dash and still can't find it 🤣 always at 1700 rpm ... bloody car haha
12:51 your car sounds funny here haha, good video though!
Lol, glad you found that funny!
Νιce work man be careful the red colour in the sun is sensitive and became Pink and brake the gloss, regards
that's why it was repainted in the first place
Very nice car..
I soon buy saab 9-3 1,8t 2005,with chip trim 220 hp
nice
Nice! Love your channel, Have you ever been to the Saab Car Museum?
unfortunately I haven't yet
Ooo no
@@AutoAutopsy hey man i tried to email you in regards to my 08 9-3 aero and but when i try to send it says email invalid
@@AutoAutopsy just tryna get some pointers and advice from a fellow saab guy lol
Been looking for a bit now, but can't find anything. What exhaust should I put on my 2007 9-3? Just put a new intake on and it sounds insane.
krona
Like!👍
👍🏼
In your next video can you do a quick walk around of all your saabs wheels on the different cars. My Saab currently has some vauxhall wheels but they are soo messed up.
Yeah, I’ve been meaning to do a full overview on my saabs! So I definitely will :)
13:15 I like that music tho
thanks!
Quick question if I may...in your experience, which is the better convertible to buy? 2002 9-3 SE or 2004 9-3 Arc? It seems that the '02 has less computers to deal with. I'd appreciate your thoughts.
i personally prefer the newer 9-3's, so thats what i would recommend
@@AutoAutopsy appreciated...I'll be heading back to the seller tomorrow to negotiate a deal!
You can use a heat gun to restore black trim
Unfortunately that only works temporarily and can cause damage to the plastic long term
I’m kinda surprised it didn’t looked like you used any primer before you spray painted those plastic parts. I’d think it would start flaking and wearing off before long. Good luck✌️
the paint used was an all in one primer/paint.
I used Rustoleum Matte finish on mine 2 months ago. Don't recall if i did any prep work other than making sure it was clean and dry. Car is parked outside in rain, freezing temps, not affecting it.
Heat sink paste aswell?
huh?
Rammstein rules!!!! Have you also tried Lindemann?
good stuff!
@@AutoAutopsy I also work on saabs and liseten to rammstein while doing so. It's usually the first I play when testing how good the speakers are in a car.
Try to use black mate spray with texture ;)
Like a bed liner? Nahhh
Do another cool features on saab plz
there's not enough "features" left that i haven't already covered!
Ok
Why don’t use a flame on the parts? i see so many videos on CZcams, where use this technique. I believe is better than only paint the part. Greetings.
Mostly because I don’t have torch and painting isn’t really any harder
@@AutoAutopsy in both cases the results are awesome. Great job!
She doesn't look happy painting :) but her nails shining :) no offense .. you made me realize that I also should paint mine.. :) thanks guys..
Don't know if you'll have same problem but I sprayed my trim under wipers and it was a big mistake didn't last very long at all before flaking ended up buying new trim 👎
i hope we don't, haha
why am I the way that I am lmao
Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium!
I like your channel but I don't like the ricing. I mean all that non stock rims, facelift tailights to prelift 9-3, loud exhausts. I don't know, tottaly not my thing and idk why people install that. My absolute dream is to have car as close as possible to factory OEM look and feel. Like I would get it just from dealrship, amazing.
🚨 *PURIST ALERT* 🚨
If you think what we’re doing to these cars is “ricing,” I would recommend never joining any Facebook groups or searching through Saabs on social media!!
@@AutoAutopsy Hehe, I am on various groups and I know what they are doing to our lovely cars. It's a shame. I never understood that tuning thing but, hey, maybe I am purist. I just love plain pure Saab 👌
We all like different things on our Saab’s. There’s a line between “rice” and what I do to my cars that I’ll never cross, lol
If you drive a stock Saab you are comfortable with having very few friends.
@@thingserik7269So? I don't see any point nor logic here but okay..
go get a new saab
um
