Steering issue is what 900 owners call "morning sickness", will continue to deteriorate. Steering rack rebuild.

🏁🎞🎞🎞🏁👍

just arrived :)

i ordered the book a while ago now, do we know when there going to be released?

Spray some silicone spray around the rubber grommet just below the break pedal where the steering column goes through the bulkhead, turning the steering wheel from lock to lock.

Is your car from Beechdale Nottingham.? Nice car, beautiful car.

The steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Great video! Lovely to see those Saabs together! Growing up my Dad had a series of them, a couple of 99s, a 90 and finally a 900 Turbo. Great memories - thanks for sharing 👍

Great video Paul, and thanks for the company on our little convoy. Now you've gone and said it - I'll have to get that work done on my goose. See you around!

thank you for sharing ❤🙏🏽

Ordered ours!

Looking gorgeous!

See you at Swedish day

Lovely video! (Owner of TheOldGirl900)

Wrong url in the description?

Hi Paul, book ordered! Looking forward to meeting you and Morty in the flesh at Swedish day. Fancy making up a convoy of 2? (I've tried messaging you - but there seems to be some sort of issue?)

Interesting seeing it in among modern cars how relatively small they are

One of the most interesting videos I’ve watched…. Particularly useful as I’m leaving my beloved 900T for two months, and needed to find out what to do while she’s sleeping! When will the book be out by the way?

I had a 900 Turbo, 1984 . Most fun car I have owned, and it was a real head turner.

You know,-real "SAABers" rarely uses the handbrake anyway since it is always parked in reverse gear.-Grew up in SAABs since the early 70´s,owned three 900´s including a 8V EMS and a T16 tuned in such a way that i had to disengage the speedometer before my special runs,yet during winterdays tugged through snow like few other cars,including Quattros. Love people who love SAABs.-We are the ones who know the thing others are seeking.

The cover is really clean, seats look good, anyhow good effort.

If you really like it that much stop putting it to bed in garage mine has never been put away use it more than my 9-3 and now thinking of replacing my 9-3 with a 900 convertible

Absolutely Stunning How did this make me so emotional?

Guten Morgen ❤ Greetings from Germany. Mein Saab Turbo 16S ist im Winterschlaf.

Beautiful 900 T16. A 1984 build with an uncracked dash….. wow! My 88 T16 vert also lives in its garage. You didn’t mention your fuel regimen when storing. Here in the midwest USA, gasoline (petrol) has ethanol added except for a few locations where “non-oxy” is sold if your auto is a collector. I run this blend exclusively and I top off the tank and change the engine oil before the 5 month winter storage period. That’s life as a Saab enthusiast in Minnesota. For the interim, Saab 900 Turbo videos have to suffice. Thanks for posting yours.

Don't like the blue smoke coming from the exhaust.....

What a nice Turbo! Is it made in Sweden or Finland?

As long as your power steering fluid is not low, the groaning is usually the first sign that the steering rack is due for a rebuild.

Amazing car... you mean 1984.. 😅

I always keep plenty of dryer sheets in mine as well. Works better than moth balls and smells much better as well. That book also sounds fun!

Hi Paul - Great video, and looking through Matts photo gallery I imagine his shots of Morty will be equally stunning - looking forward to the 'light bar' images. I'm presuming you are fairly local to Woodstock and Witney, I live in Long Hanborough so recognised the roads. My 900SE had been in a shed at Upper Heyford for over 12 years till I finally had the time and spare cash to get her running again last summer - popped in a battery and it started first time (unfortunatly the mice had eaten the clutch hose, so didn't get too far that day!). I occasionally take her back up to the old air base at Heyford, (I rent a unit there - so have reasonable access without too much hassle from security). as it's a great photo shoot location, with semi-derilict buildings, aircraft hangers and a lot of brutalist concrete, all sits well with Saabs aero-heritage. I've managed to get some really lovely pictures with just an iPhone and very few skills. Once the sun emerges again in a few months I'll probably head up again, take mine out of hibernation and do a few pictures too - you and Morty would be welcome to join me if thats of interest?

hi there im so happy you are enjoying the car enjoy it!!!!!!!! Dave

колхозник!

Good effort, great for stinking hot climates like here in Australia…

Love these cars. So bad there is hard to find a decent turbo here in Hungary where I live.... Keep on loving your car ! Regards.

Your engine is uncommonly clean! Much cleaner than my ‘92. Haven’t watched your vids before, was it recently restored or rebuilt?

I had a black ‘93 900 TS for 3yrz it always ran a lidl hot in idle, never really bothered me/affected le car’s performance.

I know it’s in its infancy, but I really don’t think there is anything to fear… Famous Last Words!

OMG I remember this issue. We would have to run the car with heat on high...in the summer...stuck in fraffic!! Wow! I literally could not do that these days with ending up feeling ill :) Good Luck!!! Love SAAB no matter what! Oh, now that i'm thinking about it, my dad would have a temp gauge installed for the warmer months that would kick on sooner than in the winter months. Then switch the "winter" temp gauge back in in the fall. What a pain in the u know what. Nonetheless, we loved SAAB no matter what.

Very nice. As a 1985/86 the cars true designation is actually a 900 T16 Aero. In theory it should have the stepped inlet cams which everyone hated and these then changed in mid 86. Im a ex master tech and did my apprenticeship on these and 9000's. If you need any help just look me up, i have my own website. Paul @ The SAAB Clinic UK.

My 15 year old son found an 86 900 Turbo that he wanted for his first car. It had been sitting for about 5 years so we are working through getting it going again.

You did what i would do, as a temporary solution, without any major concerns. A manual override of a circuit of this type may well be permanently installed because there is nothing wrong with that. Furthermore, you had the attitude that we should all have, which consists of analyzing the problem and putting the most basic concepts into practice. This is development, whatever other people say. Greetings from Portugal.

Excellent work! May have to add a checklist on your sun-visor to complete when you turn the car off to check to make sure the switch is depressed. It'll even add a little more aviation inspiration to your C900

Thought of the exact same thing for the same reason - thanks from a fellow Saab owner!
