Pretty dang glossy for a single stage

It seems like the timing or balance chain guide on the left, the one the tensioner directly interacts with, is the one that fails more often than that vertical one

Nothing like a Classic 900 Turbo. Still miss mine. Coolest euro car I ever owned, imho.

How can you tell if the ECU is bad? Do I need to have it reprogrammed if purchased refurbished?

Very helpful

Watching as I’m out of gas headed to work on the side of the highway I have to pull this thing this week!!!

Where to buy the seals?

you always make excellent videos. Where did you buy the software and the tech 2 handheld?

Is this like, a permanent solution? Just leave the defoulers + 02 sensors in?

Mine didn’t give me the type of battery option. I got an agm. Not what was in it. Hopefully this isn’t a problem down the road. Thanks for the video. Very helpful

I liked ❤ the sound

Thanks man I thought it was under the seat mine had flooding inside

looks good i have a saab 2007 vecta sport in silver 6 speed box grey half leaather seats i love it

Yes the bra was put on to hide the damage...Pvc pipe really ????

PS-iPhone low light pic was better. The Android was over exposed. I have the Samsung S23 Ultra and I think the night mode is a weak element on that device, but amazing in most of the other modes. Just my experience.

Great video, Jacob! The C900's are amazing vehicles built to take on dirt roads before every car became a butt ugg SUV. I used to take mine out on the backcountry roads when I lived in Vail. I still miss that car! My fave was the red '85 FPG. Love the Inca/Aztech rims and that color. I had a set of those and a set of the 24 slot flat discs for my '83. One set with studded snows and the other with summer tires. It was a mountain winter assault vehicle with the studded tires. Good thing you live in AZ with that cold start quirk. 👍🏼

I own a 5-door hatchback from 1984 with 175 hp and it already has a „Turbo“ sign on the steeringwheel instead of the typical Saab/Scania sign. And it also has the bis front and rear bumpers.👌🏽

I just got the ecu spacer I put the new ground where you said my car is misfiring with coil pack codes because of the ground from the throttle body is there a better ground that I can use

Nice try lumping in the exhaust mod.cause you aint makin nuttin wit dat obstructive "intercooler"

And this is why the Classic 900 is more Saab than the 9-3 and 9-5. A Saab made by Saab engineers, not by GM accountants. I am happy that I swapped my 2004 9-4 Sport Sedan with 160,000 miles on the clock for a 1998 9000 CSE with only 100,000 miles done when I got it a year ago. Forward to the past!

lol he said the quirk word teeheehhehehebeheheh

Wait….what the…but you’re…..how the……Auto explain this socery

Друг а что не поставили воздушный фильтр спорт рулевого сопротивления.И распорку на чашку стойки амортизаторов верхний для жёсткости кузова.

I Have mine for sale sadly 😢😢😢 I need something bigger for my family

Saab 9-3 straight from 2004 here does a similar thing, the boost start around 1700/1800 rpm, then suddenly the turbo stops completely at around 2300rpm, then when passes 2500 rpm turns back on boost, engine is the fiat 1.9 tid 150hp, any clue? My meccanich already changed the turbo, but has not changed much, and nothing on the dash is lit, all clear, seemingly

fun fact! the biggest reason for the 45 degree angle on the engine is becaus they had plans for 4 extra cylinders on the engine😁

The belt thing is not exclusive to Saabs. When I was a kid, my family owned a US-Spec Jag XJ-S and the belts worked the same way.

drive it alrady!

and just check these German people for SAAB... autobahn.. and stuff. thoy drive like liike 300kph there with these beautius.

Oh,, thumbs up for saaB!

I have one and it way ower 300 000... and it has been serverd me well. I lovi it

The only problem with the classic SAAB 900 turbo is...THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM ANYMORE!!! That's a problem!!

Here's my quirk. The handbrake activates the front brakes and not the rears on the older 900's.

Come for the unique excitement, stay for the quirks. Just makes me love 'em 9x more! ❤️ 🇸🇪 😊 Thanks, Jacob!

🫡👍❤️🇸🇪 #10 no kickerpanels, on the body, they are on the doors.

RIP boys, my 9³ Aero's clutch took a shit today...hopefully nothing else.

Most unique, kool cars ever. SAAB🏁🏁🏁📽😁👍

A few of the quirks aren't as Saab quirky as you think, they just went out of fashion before you went over to solid food. The rain guards were on about all cars produced between at least the 1950's up to the '90's. And as the 900 is basically the successor of the 99, which is 1960's design origin, the guards are there. It is often the joint line of the roof plate with the sides. The head lamp wipers were on a lot of cars that were exported to countries where head light cleaning devices became mandatory. On quite a lot of cars where wipers were not part of the original design it was easily visible they were an add on where some extraordinary tricks had to be pulled to get them incorporated. In the early 2000's they were mostly replaced by the cheaper pressure washers as also seen on the 9-5 after the wipers were phased out. But there is a quirk that should be mentioned and that is the way the door closes against the sill and not over it. This was typically Saab, aging back to probably the Ur-Saab. The pluss sides being always having a clean sill so no risk for dirty trousers and much less chance that in case of an accident the door gets wedged. Downside thousands of doors with rusted bottoms because of the archaic way of keeping moist out with that rubber flap being riveted without any proper rust protection. And don't forget the other function of the gear stick lock: car theft is quite hard when you only can get away in reverse 😀.

These cars are so cool. Initially, I was a little on the fence about some of the color choices for the engine, but every time you show it I realize that you made the right call for everything.

What type of Walbro fuel pump, like model number did you get brother?

What type of Fuel pump you got in Maptun, the aftermarket or Original one

What a beautiful car! Love from Sweden! Thanks for keeping those legends alive. edit: regarding the seatbelt, that has to be US only thing? I never in my life seen this in Sweden...

Quirky

Quit teaching people these quirks! How else will I have conversations about how to get the key out with valets or the guys at the tire shop.

Thanks!

i own a saab 900t16s (euro version ) i had no clue that some version had automatic seatbelts or fuel type signs around the car , Awesome car dude!

Cool soundtrack.

I just bought one of these, my locks are acting weird. Car don't wanna lock with key and when I lock it manually it unlocks the driver door over night o by itself. Really irritating, other than that I really enjoy the car

I had an Saab in the 70,s it was with the V4 engine from Germany! This car i s now and still a submarine! I was racing at the ice in Finnish shoreline and the ice was bad! So it still staying there down on the bottom! My first ever car was Dodge Dart -65. Funniest car was Dodge Challenger - 71 with 400 hp 440"! Now Kia Stinger 2018 200 hp diesel!

What is their shop called?
