In this video I flush the coolant and replace the thermostat in Anna’s 2006 Saab 9-5 Vector 2.0t Biopower. If the engine doesn’t warm up correctly, or if you get no heat to the cabin, this is the #1 thing to check. Also this video shows how to clean the thermostat housing grounding point.

Swedish:: Så här byter man termostat och kylarvätska i en Saab 9-5. Om du inte får upp motortemperaturen eller om det inte kommer någon värme ska du kolla upp detta.

This is freaking awesome .. they got garage like this in Sweden…
Very informative and helpful as always. Will do a radiator flush in my 9-5 2006 sedan next week. Thermostat still working (knock, knock).
Hur får du fram temperaturen på displayen???
I did this work today.
However, I thought I had the earth cable attached which I hadn’t.
I can Inform everyone that I could not start the car, some relay in the driving compartment flipped like crazy, the turbo charging meter was living its own life and the cooling fans turned on and off.
It took a while for me to figure out this strange behavior until it hit me to check that earth cable.
It was not attached.
I screwed it down and the car functioned flawlessly again.
So the earth cable attached to the thermostat housing is a very important part indeed.
Very interesting video im starting to love saabs now lol
0:16 – 23:00 regardless if there’s not that many saabs out here in america, the fact is that saab still around thriving regardless the amount there’s out in the street here in usa or in Sweden. Good video btw
+Trionic Seven är inte säker ifall jag satt nålen uppåt vadhänder ifall den är åt något annat håll?
It’s super cool they offer a shop for people to work on their cars
Bra video! Ska byta termostat imorgon. Tack för att du lagt ner tid på att göra videon.
I have a 2004 9.3 Saab and my radiator reservoir is boiling over can you help me diagnose the problem
Here's a tip for the drain plug. It is accessible from under the car easily. Just take a piece of 1/2" PVC about 6" long and notch across the end with a hacksaw blade. You can then slip this over the stop cock and twist it to get the coolant to flow.
Okay I'll bite. What's a creeper called in Swedish?
hello, your videos have helped me so much thanks keep up the good work. I have one questions what type of coolant should I use? i have 2002 Saab 9-5 linear model I'm not sure if I'm using the right kind it's keeps leaking? I use peneofrost, the pink kind. my manual does not say what type and I can't really get a right answer
Great video, thanks! Changed my thermostat today and got the engine temperature back to normal again. I actually did not remove any items from the engine bay (battery etc.). Also did not detach the coolant hose. The location is a bit tight but this can be done by draining the coolant and then simply removing the four bolts. The coolant hose will have enough play so that the thermostat can be removed and replaced.
Det er nogle fine videoer du filmer. Meget stor hjælp.
Tak. 🙂
Hej och åter stor tack för en informativ och pedagogisk film. Du är till stor hjälp för oss i Saab världen :-)Jag har läckage av kylarvätska vid termostathuset och tänkte passa på att byta ut termostaten/packningen samtidigt.Saabparts har två varianter en 82 och en 89 grader. Vet du vilken jag ska införskaffa? Jag har en 2,3 l Aero från -05God Jul på dig och din familj.
Hi can you help me …..I have full temperature on the engine ..
But my heating is not working ……
Only cold air coming out …
Dining need to change the thermostat
Hi Jonathan,
I change my 9-5 thermostat last week and did a coolant flush and found your video very useful! Thanks for sharing! Tack
I often read on the forums that in addition to replacing the thermostat, the coolant temperature sensor should also be replaced at the same time. I noticed you did not do that. Are the people on the forums just going too far in replacing a part that doesn't need to be replaced? What do you think? I would rather not fix what's not broken but if it's wise to replace it then I will. By the way, excellent video. My car: 07 Saab 9-5
Bytt termostat i 9-5 Aero årsm 2003. Denna videon var till stor hjälp. Keep up the good work 🙂
The coolant reservoir looks really clean.
Did you flushed or cleaned it somehow?
Why must you jack the car? Or just easier to access everything? Also how would you recommend removing the plastic cap at the bottom of the radiator to drain coolant? Thanks
excellent video Jon.. you get public garages to work in?? Cool… Wish we had something like that in the UK..
