At last a tutorial on the 16 valve engines .i could of done with this video 3 months ago when I did mine ,looked everywhere, even the Alfa 159 diesel 16 valve but nothing! At least I'm not the only one that could not get the crank pulley locking tool to fit . I'll be using this video as a tutorial on the Saab forum I work on . Yet again a fantastic, informative video from you Jonas Take care and keep Saabing !
Great video! Alfa romeo giulia and stelvio 2.2 diesel use the exact same system! I've been struggeling with the tensioner so I went to trusty old friend Google, he suggested this video and it looked familiar so I clicked it, timing belt is done! Thanks!
Hi Jonas... I drive a Saab 9-3 petrol and I couldn't do the water pump so I'm considering buying a Saab TID. Your video has helped me so much. Thank you
The locktite on the water pump left bolt is essential as the bolt enters the water jacket of the head, incase someone may omit it as overkill! 🤦 Before putting it all back together i fill with coolant, put the crank damper pulley on and run engine to check for leaks whilst the engine is still jacked up/supported! And serp belt and mount is off. Good video!
Thank you I have a vectra with the same engine and will be doing mine tomorrow and this video has been the best easy to follow your English is great by the way thanks again
Hello Jonas, great video! I don't even have a Saab, but I'm still subscribed. I have a Mercedes 190e 2.3-16, but hey a car is a car, the principles will be the same. Cheers.
Thanks for the video Jonas! Just changed the belt and took lots of care to mark everything in the 9-3, however my lines never match. I turn the engine many times while adjusting tensioner - the cam and crank always align perfect. But the marked lines never match. Meh 🤷
@@JonasKakarikas Ah, figures! Every video I watch says "and voila, everything lines up again!". 😂 Thanks for the response, I'm again more condident to bring it all together tomorrow 👍🏻
Hi Jonas i have a Saab 9-3X 1.9 TTID which I bought it a few months ago,I have seen in his maintenance book that they have always put 5W30 oil in it,could you tell me the oil 5W30, it's ok for this engine or it's 0W40.It's from 2009 and I don't know if it has a particulate filter.Thanks for the answere.
Šaunuolis Jonai, pats geriausias ir išsamiausias video apie diržo keitimą (esu daugybę peržiūrėjęs anglų, rusų, italų kalbom). Klausimėlis: matau, kad pagal pompos žymenį galima orientuotis ar buvo keistas diržas ar ne, o gal įmanoma pagal diržo skaičiukus nustatyti jo pagaminimo metus?
Hej Jonas Jag har låst kamaxel. Hade en vit markering på kamdrevet och en vit markering på vevaxel kl 9. Nu när allting är klar och jag snurrar runt då hamnar inte markeringar på samma ställe. Använder man kamlåsningsverktyg så är kamdrevet kl 3 och vevaxel på kl. 9 konstig. Vad kan det bero på Mvh
@@JonasKakarikas ok.tack. jag kollade i wis och det står där att man ska ta bort kamlåsningsverktyg, snurra nästan 2 varv, sätta tillbaka kamlåsningsverktyg och det ska låsa på samma ställe. Då är det rätt. Jag har kollat och det stämmer. Imorgon ska jag till Mekonomen för att handla g34 kylarvätska. Då är det sanningens ögonblick. Förresten så bor jag i Växjö och har Tech2 i fall du behöver nån gång. Mvh
New to the channel. I have a 2006 2.0t 9-3 and I tried to change the timing belt and I could never move the tensioner wrench enough to get the belt off, had to take it to a shop. Do you have any videos of doing it on that engine? I removed the passenger tire, wheel well liner, and air filter and whether I tried from up above or down below something was always in the way from moving the tensioner enough to get the belt off. I got very frustrated!
Hi thank you for the video. I’ve done many cambelts on Vw engines and I always just use tipex on all the pulleys and belt. And put the same mark on the new belt and then tension everything. Is there any reason this won’t work on this engine?
Hi you never mentioned if the HP fuel pump needs locking and needs to remain timed ? My Doblo 1.9jtd doesn't require timing , however it should be clarified in your video ?
I did this on z19dtr and all the instructions i had said nothing about timing the hp fuel pump. However im reading saab wis and it says to match up the mark on the fuel pump with the belt. I've done about 20000 miles since and never noticed a problem. Anyone know what symptoms would be if the hp fuel pump was incorrectly timed?
I was just about to ask the same question 👍 What about the tightness of the tensioner? What would be the correct tension or are there marks for it (so I understood after watching the video)? Brilliant job and video once again Jonas 👌😎👍 Used to drive gasoline Saabs untill the following happened: a friend of mine had two NG9-3s with B207 engines: the timing chain of the first one broke up and he also had to replace the timing belt of the second one since it was in a really bad condition. I didn't want to have a car with the timing belt but figured out that if I'd like to drive Saabs, it's much more safer to replace the belt every 100 000 kms than to listen the sound of the timing chain and wonder whether it should be replaced 🙄 Also the fuel consumption is more decent with the diesel engine. The only bad thing is its sound, especially when it hasn't warmed up yet. I hate it 😉 Now our NG9-5 is TTiD and NG9-3CV is TiD 👌
@@JonasKakarikas Totally agree with you 👍 Yep, I understood 👍 BTW, it seems there's a lot of tuning potential in T(T)iD: m.czcams.com/video/uQUk7NdrDfE/video.html
Hi been doing my timing belt and water pump after watching your video. I accidentally moved the fuel pump pulley (pulley on left hand side that is not locked by tool) . Have put pulley so that the mark on timing belt corresponds to mark on pulley will this be ok? Thanks for your videos if all goes ok will have saved myself £600
If the mark The belt line up on The controlpoints and you have full tension on The belt it should be ok. But you really need to take that decision your self 👍

Watch the video again, there is a trick to put tension on it. Thread in an long M8 bolt in the hole bellow the tensioner and then use a flathead screwdriver to get it up to the hole 👌🏼🫡
@@JonasKakarikas I did exactly as in the video but seems that ia get to end of the pin and arrow not moving at all ,I tightened the screw of the pulley by hand to let it slide but nothing,also used the M8 bolt ,I never would believe that a pulley tensioning could be an issue for me , it's crazy 🤣
@bigeasy269 are you it doesn't do anything the first couple of millimeters when you push it then suddenly it starts to move alot. Loosen the screw a little bit and try again but more 😉

The markings are just to line it up, then it Will take lots of turns before they match up again 😉

Been quoted £450 to do my 2008 tid 9-3 , but may just have a crack at it myself
Thanks Jonas
Do it and save £300 for something else 👍
Great work as always Jonas! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's also good to change (I did) crank shaft pulley and alternator pulley.
What a good video Mr. I found it very helpfull. I have the Vectra C 1.9cdti 150 hp Thanks again......Richi Islas Canarias.....
Thanks 🙏
Спасибо.
I’ve noticed you showing 2 markings on the lower pulley
One at 5 o’clock and one at 9 o clock
This is confusing.
Now that is a rare car in the us....
Perfekt video! Var köpte du låsverktyget?
Köpt på ebay 👍
@@JonasKakarikaseBay linken fungerar inte. Kommer du ihåg vilken verktygs sats det var.
Just question , in TTid when You lock camshaft by locking pin , does crank sprocket mark should be at ,,9" o'clock?
Rotate crank 1 more full rotation and cam will lock at 3ish

4 yrs according to my service manual... 08 - , 9-3, 1.9 tid
You must be reading in the wrong line. Timing belt is longer service interval

Markeringarna är för att montera den rätt, sen kan det ta många varv innan dom ställer sig "rätt" igen.

Använde du momentnyckel vid åtdragning av spännaren och vattenpumpen. I så fall vad hade du för moment?

@@JonasKakarikas ah, thanks for the reply. It’s also making a godawful ticking noise so I’m a little concerned haha
Awesome video! Do they make a aftermarket intake for your car?
👍 No they dont... Not that i have seen atleast

Doing anything to the HP Fuel pump is not part of this job. Has worked 100% for me each time

I've done about 20000 miles since and never noticed a problem. Anyone know what symptoms would be if the hp fuel pump was incorrectly timed?
Do you have the torque specs?
Good video, could save people money
Of my 2008 Vectra its the hole fore look the camshaft blocked , so can't not look the cam
Great work Jonas and great work with the camera! How much time did it take for you to do the timingbelt-job?
Thanks! It took me something like 3-4hours including moving The camera around etc. If I would have done this again without filmning, probably 1 hour 👍
I was just about to ask the same question 👍

@@JonasKakarikas Totally agree with you 👍
Yep, I understood 👍
BTW, it seems there's a lot of tuning potential in T(T)iD: m.czcams.com/video/uQUk7NdrDfE/video.html
That it basiclly pretty maxed out and after ~230hp it just start to generate alot of black smoke, that doesnt belong on a Saab in my opinion 😉

Isn't it a marketing on the timing belt for the fuel pump also?
The Fuel pump is not in The engine 😉
The high pressure fuel pump for the rail is attached to the timing belt.. the low pressure pump is in the fuel tank
Tool kit link doesn't work.
Hur lång tid tog det ungefär? Om du minns det vill säga😂
Tar 2-3 timmar första gången man gör det

Crankshaft Pulley Bolt Type? Torx T45 or T50?
