I was wondering if you can replace the serpentine belt through just the engine bay, online it says to take off wheel well liner and go from down there and the engine bay. Thanks for all the videos and for being so responsive, you're a lifesaver!

Bryce Garrison says:

How much farther to get to the timing chains? Going to pick up a tx that has the p0016 and p0018 and needs the timing chains replaced.

Amazing video

Freemason 357 says:

So any update @AutoAutopsy on whether the water pump finally fixed it?????

Mike Olofson says:

Thanks so much for owning a v6. Most other DIY jobs are 2.0 I4.

I have a month of holiday in isolation i think i might do some preventative maintenance on this one

Graham Shillingford says:

Its good to see you carrying out all the jobs yourself!! Wait till you get the stretched chains like I did on my 06 2.8T!!

Faraz Siddiqui says:

Thanks for this video. Have you got a video on the 4cyl 2.0T? TIA.

Were is the thermostat locateded on 2007 saab aero turbo v6

Mario Dione says:

Very helpful. My 06 9-3 2.0t just started leaking coolant as well.

tpdtopcop2010 says:

Great video. Having problems with mine. Getting the coolant level low warning but noticed the cap was bad. Replaced cap and now getting dripping from overflow hose after car has been driven and it sits. maybe I overfilled tank? Maybe put new tank in to eliminate that is a problem? I don't see any leaks from tank or seams and hoses are all good. Not getting any bubbling in the tank when cap off so I don't believe it's a head problem. Could it be a thermostat problem? Re he car heats and cools like it should and the temp gauge pegs at the usual half way mark!

Good viedo perfect to teach how to !

Bryan Swenson says:

I'm glad to see an easy water pump replacement on a saab 9-3 V-6. Contrasting to the difficult replacement on a 9-3 2.0 t.. Great post Auto A..

MassiveTrackHunter says:

Great video! Good catch on the engine support, and yes it is one of the easiest parts to replace on that motor.
On the v6 leak checks, check your email. Sent pics. There are 3 gaskets right above that pump.
Hope you already got them all. If not, it is an easy job now that you are used to working in that area.

Darth Volvo says:

I remember mentioning replacing the waterpump when you were in there earlier. Glad you got it done.

petrolpower96 says:

Just a heads up: I’d advice you to replace the bolts to the engine mount, they are on most cars, stretch bolts that need a certain torque and degrees on them so after they’ve been taken off most manufacturers advice to replace them.
Great DIY though, looks like a dead easy job 🙂

Racerboy221 says:

Another great DIY video…you really do make it look easy. Thanks for the info!

Levitation says:

Now you listen here son. You done best be driving that ol turbo x to that goofy little saab meet in Colorado, ya understand?
