I'm a little late to this party, but THANK YOU for a great tutorial video. I was able to get this done in a little over an hour, with probably 10 minutes of that fighting to get that bloody hose off of the throttle body. Finally just disconnected the other end and removed it on the bench. I'm amazed the car ran as long as it did before going into limp mode, that thing was FILTHY, looked like the underside of the butterfly was coated in coffee and charcoal. Cleaned up beautifully, and once I got it all back together, it ran sweetly (and much more smoothly) on my little 10 mile test drive. THANK YOU again!

You have been such a great help over the years. Thank you very much for posting your videos!

This is not The 7G Tronic MCT 722.9 Plus(Multi-Clutch Technology), (No torque convertor.). Ive seen dozens of the current video but none with the 722.9 plus transmissions . would be nice to find one ..... Great video By the way 👏👏👏👏👏👏🎩🎩off..

Good video. How about a video for bleeding the system as they can be very difficult to bleed.

Thank you for making this wonderful video. I am about to attempt this "power drain" to get the fluid out of the torque converter and I am wondering why you need to remove and fill in 2 liter increments. If you hooked compressed air to the fill pump then could you not refill the trans at the same rate that it is emptying? It seems to me that you could reach a steady state in=out with a compressor and a valve to control the airflow. Thank you!

Thank you for this video! Just fixed a 2003 9-3 Vector which had it's original ECU fail a month ago. Got a replacement ECU from a 2007. Flashed the MCP then flashed the main .bin and it runs and works great now. Your video made it so easy to walkthrough the process!

Isn't it very low to open valve at 2psi? Its about 0.13 bar pressure.

I was 500 And 40 bucks including a $ 190 motor. Goung to start today as soon as I get a t20 torque bit. Let you how it goes??? Thanks.

Bought my first Saab '07 9-3 tid 3 years ago and just had it's first prang. My learning curve is steep thanks to videos like this.

SUPER❤❤❤

Great video! I was able to borrow a slide hammer from O'Reilly's Car parts store to pop the axle out of the transmission. The cable idea is brilliant though.

I just finished re-assembling one of these a few minutes ago. Attaching the springs to the plastic caps was no fun. I applied a light coating of motor oil to the 8 o-rings around the center shaft, as well as the bore. The two halves slid together much easier that way.

What could be the reason on ML 350-2010, few times when putting into recerse, it will make a noise-and little stalking, car has 110kmiles, first heard like 5-10kmiles ago, is not always, once put of 10 times, ussually when leaving the parking after overnight parked. Thanks, in the process of changing oil...

Did you have to replace the gasket?

风扇碳刷磨损了，更换碳刷就可以解决问题

I replaced carbon brushes and bearing on mine, it's now working like a champ.

When the original ECU is backed. Is it still operational to use?

Very well done!

Sorry but i couldn't understand... I have a aero 93 2004... Also the mine has that issue?

Does anyone have the tool list?

5:42 Have you tried Honda's Shin Etsu grease yet? It's even better at doing this than SuperLube et al. Life changing stuff.

Nice job!

Whats the torque for the guides? Also 10Nm?

Perfect work!!!!!..

Thank you. Very helpful, even if you elect to just replace the motor. Much cheaper than the dealer and not difficult to do!

2006 saab9-3 2.0t cooling fan is parked after operation but the fan does not operate even if the cooling water boils

06 saab9-3 2.0t cooling fan The fan does not operate even when the right side of the cooling fan is turned on The cooling water does not work even if it boils Is it a motor problem? (left handle) Are both cooling fans the same size??

i have a saab 93 b207l no codes show but under heavy acceleration it judders and pops thru the rev range if i build up boost slowly its fine untill u have the pedal so far down any advice as im stumped

Thank you for the video, i just did a flush (6l dumped out). After the dealer and mechanics telling me that the GL350 didn't need transmission servicing now at its at 200,000KM and there is torque shuddering. After the flush, shuddering is almost all gone. I will drive a few more KM and see if I need to add additive such as Shudder Fixx. thanks again for the great video.

My car is a 2008 9-3 Aero Saab V6 turbo convertible - will this video work for reparing my power steering rack leak? I think it's coming from the bottom of the car. Guesing I need to replace the seal to the rack at bottom....any idea where I can find the correct seal kit ?? I really dont want to replace the entire power steering rack

You sound like a very knowledgeable mechanic 👍

Great job! Do you know if there should be a 12v on the distributoer plug when I turn on ignition car key??

wow. Great video, thank you very much!

Do you recommend cheap ebay ECUs or like a specific website? You can buy two cheap ebay ones for the cost of 1 on saab parts.

There is no such thing as "Lifetime" fluid, it's a marketing strategy to sell cars just like 10k oil changes. Once out of warranty, failure is inevitable

My Saab 9-3 2004 2,0t keep getting P0245 P0201 P0202 P0203 P0204 after around 1 hour of drive, then I send my old ecu to someone to clone it to a “new” ecu, got both back but the car started sound like a tractor and won’t rev above 3000rpm after “new” ecu installed, What you think the problem is? And how to solve it? Is the “new” ecu broken? Please help, it been 2 months now and can’t drive normally.

Is the gasket new?

Hi flying . I know this video is a bit olfd J ust a strage situation. I followed your video intructions to the left front driver lock. The reason was the random alarm issue especially when the car was parked under hot sunshine. Before proceeding to the repair all functions where almost ok, by means central locking/unlocking of all doors exept some randome sporadic individual doors failing to operate (lock/unlock) Alarm was engaging and disengaging by remote as well. After the repair (resoldering , greasing etc.) and while connecting the 2 door plugs the sirene started to sing and I stoped it by the remote (central unlock button ). That was the end of story. The lock is electrically dead now, all doors central locking by remote is dead No theft fucntion anymore (no flashing dush red light) and no steering wheel locking/ unlocking even if I through in the remote into ISM. The only sign while I'm using remote button for cental locking is the flashing of the left turning light for a couple of times. Windows central control is working but can't program the driver's window. The only door lock that sounds electrically active is the rear left (behind driver) which gives the motor sound while I lock it manualy . All other locks are dead. I diconnected negative battery pole but still the same symptoms. Luckily the engine cranks and can lock the car manually with the driver's door key (all other doors are manually locked by hand). Surprising the trunk can ulock by remote(!!) Any idea???

What about w204 2011 benz c300 without a89 code

This procedure just saved my 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0t. Now is running fine again. Thank you for this video to help us resurrect these cars to enjoy more. Big shout out to the TrionicTuning community for blessing us with the software and instructions on how to perform this.

I know this is a really old video but a wonderful demonstration for a tech who is teaching himself. Seeing your process was neat.

The 2019 Mercedes Sprinter V6 Diesel engine has the 7 speed with what look like two return lines, one that goes to the same spot on the left and right of the transmission. Are these both return lines? And should both be hooked up to the 1/2" hose for the flush?

One big question, why do you remove the whole door panel if that isn't necessary? Thank you.

Question; when setting your air flow plate stop pin, do you use the front of the air flow housing or the rear of the air flow housing to align your air flow plate? KE plates are at an angle, so front and rear are never at same point as far as aligning with inner ring of housing. Using front of car as front of plate.

Thank You Sir! You saved me a ton of money and it was easy! 2011 R350

Good video. Dear god are you working in a cave? The echo is incredible.

This is great!
