bro 1:24 , that clamped return line hose is like impossible to pull off the res.. I may need to heat it up!

Carlos Delgado says:

On my 08 saab 93 2.0t didnt have the rubber steal on it that was causing the leak i change them to new ones

trencher7 says:

What did you do to get the hard seal removed (the one you replaced by using the socket to hammer down on it)? I heard that's a pain to remove.

Zak Flanders says:

What's the part number for the for thoseO-rings? All I can find is the whole pump…

Mcdonald says:

This video is episode 6 and you posted it 6 months ago…
Damn… That's the oil going inside the pump.. it happens because the seal fails to it's jobs … So its allowing engine oil .. it's interesting good job.. here's i saw my spark plus and i notice something wasn't right this feeling of mm huh i think their counterfeit NGKs i bought my plugs on Amazon. https://www.driven2automotive.com/blog/warning-beware-of-updated-fake-ngk-iridium-ix-spark-plugs-how-to-spot-them-august-2017/

James Vetter says:

If you're getting oil in the power steering is it just seals or is it that I need a new pump? Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can offer!

Ali Montana says:

Did you have to tighten any bolts to torque or no? Great video!!

DjJhontraxOfficial says:

How come you did changed the seals and not the fluid? Sure it helps to solve the leaking problem but you still got engine oil in the steering system, humm.

tony baynes says:

Thanks to your videos I have diagnosed several of my 2005 9-3 Aero Convertible 2.0T b207r issues and now know what was causing the leak… have you got the part numbers for all the seals needed to complete this repair as I am struggling to find them in the UK?? Thanks for all the informative Saab 9-3 content, keep up the good work

A V says:

Is there a way to check if the mileage of a Saab 9-3 is genuine? I'm looking to buy one, but where I live people that sell them usually import the cars from other countries and roll back the mileage. Can this be done with the Tech2 or some other cheaper (if possible) tool?

Whit Siever says:

Hey Autopsy,
I'm at a junkyard looking for parts for my 2007 base 2.0T
I just stumbled on a 2006 2.0T with both factory HID assemblies in tact. Do you think they're plug and play?

Lord Diablo says:

Recently, I had misfired issue, I changed all spark plugs, ICM ( Ionizatioin Control Module ), Front Oxygen Sensor as well as Ignition coil packs, but I still have the check engine light on…. I also find out that there is a huge smell of gasoline when my 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T is turned on / idol. Do you what went wrong ???
About 2 years ago, I had the same problems ( coolant T-connector & power steering oil leak ) before. I bought the coolant T-connector with hoses complete costed me about $35- but just replaced the T-connector. For the Power Steering oil leak, the leak was from the vacuum pump ( silver color ), and replaced by my Saab mechanic.

Legobeto Thegrreat says:

dude. I paid a ton of money to have this done. I wish i had found the video before i did that. Thanks for posting this, anyway.

Deano 1528 says:

I did this recently after finding my power steering fluid a reddish colour where the seal had failed and letting motor oil getting into the power steering system.

Caffina says:

I just did this on my 03 a week ago and man you are lucky you don't have to deal with the sai cable and that metal tube. It sucked.

Mcdonald says:

That's how my arc looked the seal stayed there

Staden says:

I replaced the two seals at the power steering pump because the engine was leaking oil in the power steering resevoir. Now, all the hydralic fluid ends up in the engine oil instead, and i have an engine full of power steering fluid, and an empty resevoir. Any idea of what to do?
