How to replace the Front Crankshaft (Front Main) Oil Seal on a 1999-2002 +03 CV Saab 9-3. Nearly identical process for both NG900 and 1999-2009 Saab 9-5 as the replacement part numbers are the same.

Just had my new engine installed after my first one broke down, (massive rod throw thru engine block and oil-pan, so we used the old oil-pump and now the new engine have no oil-pressure, i fear dirt and junk so this video was exactly what i needed
Great video – and good call on the O-Ring, I didn't put that in my shopping cart, saved me time! Also appreciate the diagram/torque spec screen at the end.
Does this apply to the 3.0t v6 engine as well? Cuz I can’t seem to find the seal ring for the oil pump housing, only the front seal. Any links for this part? Thanks in advance.
Did you notice increased engine vibration on idle while these seales were leaky. My hypothesis is that the leaking oil gets smeared on serpentine belt and causes it slip occasionally giving different load on engine. I am wondering if this is a case.
I’m having issues finding the O-ring. I have a 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0t sports combi , I found the seal but no o-ring. Any suggestions?
Will be doing mine.ive just put new belt on and tensioner and idler pulley and alternator .knew I should of done it then.lol good video.normally them pulleys are stuck on after you undo the bolt.did you have any bother
Good video. Where can one get these seals and what the names?
I have a similar leak on a 2006 2.0T is it a similar process for that?
Thanks for sharing, I will work on the 01 Viggen .
AWESOME (one of the very best) video on this job.
Great video
