Thanks for another informative, well- made video! Your input about how to increase ventilation on the engine cover is something I experimented with, though like you I am not skilled in making straight vertical slits in the cover. What I did was drill four holes equally spaced 1.5 inches across each of the three indentations. I used masking tape after measuring to make sure each of the holes lined up vertically, and I angled the drill at about 45 degrees to assist with the angle the inflow of air would take before exiting the holes the factory made at the rear of the engine cover. I think the cosmetic look is acceptable, to me at least, and a bit more ventilation for the ECM. Happy to email you pics if you want. Cheers! John

My local (Australian) SAAB mechanic installed this for me about 2 months ago. I went and watched the video by the guy who developed the kit and he said it takes 15 minutes to install. My mechanic charged me for one hour of labour. I guess he needs to eat too! LOL.

I made my own kit from the exact same part's in the UK, cost of full kit less than £30 people are charging a fortune for such little part's that are needed, you can make these yourself

Is their a good company that repairs bad saab 9-3 ECU's? Mine just went out. I do not have a tech 2.

PaidEMS says:

You are killing me. You made this a month too late. I got my from Australia. $80. Still worth it.

With or without the socket, the temperature under the hood is still heating ecu. I thing the solution may be to make wires longer and remove ecu to the other place. Good vid. Thanks!

AlabamaTideMan says:

Mine failed because the radiator hose that is on the left of the ECU was cracked and sprayed coolant all over my ECU.

My question about this ecu mod/saver is how much space is made from the plate to the bottom of the ecu? Or how thick are those spacers? My guess is 1 1/2 inches? Enough to fit your index finger under it?
