Had anyone encountered a “hot gearbox” warning on the dash? My 2005 9-3 arc did that to me, changed the trans fluid and it seems like it’s good now! Now the thing I noticed is that the cooling fans are not turning on…. Is this all related or is there a bigger problem hiding in plain sight?

@andrasvleminckx4660 says:

the rebuild didn't help me at all, leak continued. only thing that fixed it was replacing the full vacuum pump

hola. soy nuevo suscriptor y me gustaria pedirte apoyo desde México, tengo saab 9-3 2.0t mi vehiculo pierde potencia y el pedal de freno pareciera que pierde vacio ya que se va casi al fondo, esto no lo hace simepre, casi siempre lo hace despues de 1 hora de manejo o algo asi, cambien bomba de freno, modulo abs probe con otro, cambie bujias, cambie mangueras de vacio, manguera de intercooler, manguera de cuerpo de aceleracion y no arroja codigos de falla con el torque. prende de una sin temas, jala en general bien, solo ese detalle

Any symptoms of a bad vacuum pump?

@happysawfish says:

Like 303. Here on 12-22-25 Enjoyed pressing the button and unliking several times to see the cool GIF. Yep, I'm definitely 303.
Which reminds me of Rule 3 0 3. "Breaker Morant."
One of the best scenes ever recorded. And all too real.
Merry Christmas to all.

I had to buy another coolant tank with cap for this reason but the same problem came back after a couple of years. Anyone know of a certain brand that doesn't have the lame cap?

@Craig1368 says:

Love it, my 9-3 has this. Going to get the parts and get it sorted; thanks again for this content, best Saab channel bar none.

When you replace seals in vacuum pump Always check the filter. The filter size very small if the filter is clogged, the oil flows through the seal!

@planedecoded9241 says:

Was there oil on the bottom of your transmission bellhousing because thats where i see droplets and the pump is above that

@csabajuhasz7584 says:

Hello. These seals gm or same factory products or aftermarket from aliexpress or ebay ? Thx respons. I have same problem in gm car. I change the seal first that fine, but the oring leaks. So actually i need oring and replace. Have a nice day!

I would’ve love for you to live in NYC. So I can take you my car to help me fix my issues I’m having with my 2007 9-3. These mechanic here so my car and want to over charge me

@gltwn says:

Did my vacuum pump seal yesterday, what an easy job. I torqued the mounting bolts to 18 ft lbs. In my opinion, over or undertorqueing gasket seals leads to premature leaks. So I am precise whenever I torque a gasket seal (eg oil pan gasket, waterpump, valve cover).

Can you stop saying that SAI is ONLY on 2003 and 11? They are not only on 2003 and 11 man im starting to not trust your info more and more

@coling7091 says:

Thanks for the guide. Doing mine this weekend

@NathanielMedina1194 says:

Where did you get your coil cover?

@tylerwitmer3769 says:

didnt realize you wore a dexcom @10:45 i also have it tp manage my type1

@Nzaf001 says:

I'm about to do mine this weekend I'm gonna do the metal thermostat housing while it's out seems like it will be alot easier to do while the pump is out.

@rf14dmb says:

Timing of this video is awesome – I was just watching your old video Saturday as I was replacing the seals on my air pump. video was helpful…but wish I saw this video first. Hope my bottom bolt doesn't leak! I found removing the return lines to the coolant tank freed up space over the pump.

Didnt fix mine suspect rear main seal…
