  • Not a step by step but just an overview on creating a quick access hole for the 9-3 xwd. I’ve done this twice and it never gave me issues because I was careful and thoughtful.
    Be careful when drilling center point. Use a very short drill bit. Not liable for your mistakes.

    That’s a lot better than 99% I have seen. Looks tidy. I would justify it for the XWD only. I recently did mine (fwd) and dropped the tank.

    Do you know if the fuel pump on a 2,0t is at same spot. If not so you have any idea approximately where I might find it.
    I would like to avoid taking the tank out if it's possible 😂

      I don’t think it’s the same spot, and I’m not sure where it is. Go to Facebook and join the Saab 9-3 group and ask by posting. People are very quick to answer!

    I'm thinking of trade my Nissan for a Sabb 9-3 coverable . Are this good cars ? It has a check engine light for main relay have you done this relay change ? Will you coach me on the fixing .

      I’ve owned mine for 10 months. Put over 3K into keeping it running

    To those watching, never do this. cutting part of the chase to replace your fuel pump is a dumb idea, and your car will be structurally weaker if you do it. Please for the love of god never do this dumb shit.

      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.
