Starting Saab 900 After 6 Years + Test Drive

1993 Saab 900 2.5 v6 125kw

[@pacofido]

Sounds weird but our SAAB 900S '97 has been our daily driver since 25 years. We still love it like the first day. With a little care and good quality parts, this type of car can last a lifetime. Thank you for the excellent video, was a great pleasure to see it. Greetings from Quebec, Canada

[@BigButtocks967]

I had an old 1985 Saab 900, beautiful and extremely well built, when I sold it I regretted it even as the new owner was still pulling of my drive.

[@robw6505]

What a good old girl, it started with no trouble and still looks good even today. Saab new how to put a car together.

[@adammcallister2260]

The engine is General Motors. A C25XE. I have the same one in my Vauxhall Calibra.

The V6 is junk.

Every time I see a Saab I feel nostalgic. My father owned back in the nineties a 900 (the old, true saab). Was a terrific car. Now that the brand is defunct and spares are nil the few that remain on sale in second hand markets go for peanuts. So sad it couldn't be saved...

[@rioblyth3926]

If you’re from the US spares are a little tricky, Europe there are tons of spares and are still a common sight 👌🏼

[@split_pin]

Still a lot of Saabs on the road in the UK, spares here are quite easy to get.

[@nfdids]

SAAB makes Gripens, those planes are beautiful!!!!

[@ollialbone3019]

Spares are nil? I think not. Saab parts AB became Orio AB and Orio still supplies 47000 lines of parts and that number is growing

[@Roger_Ramjet]

Blame General Motors...the morning starting procedure on the later models was akin to this.

Yess Flexiny, thank you for reviving the 900🥰 Saab is one of my favorite brands and A V6 in a 900 is really rare. You should definitely restore it and sell or buy it.

[@ce9345]

It is nice to see a Saab with an engine other than an I-4 turbo. In the US, the 900 had a V-6 option only from 1994 to 1998. It is a shame that Saab cars are gone.

[@philipheyes607]

Saab cars are gone because the quality fell to dire even with a full dealer service history. I had the 900SE V6 Auto, everything broke or leaked or fell apart on it by 120,000 miles. The V6 2.5 was a good engine - but service costs were high, the induction manifold needs to be unbolted to replace the plugs in the rear bank and the timing belt was 3 years / 36,000 miles and again costly to change. Still it raised a smile to see a V6 that is runnable.

[@sandervosu9781]

as soon as i saw the engine bay it seemed promising.

[@francistheodorecatte]

I've owned six SAABs, in order, a 1997 900S 2.3 5dr, 1999 9-5SE 2.3t wagon, 1997 900SE 2.0T 3dr (still have), 1994 9000CS 2.3t liftback, 1997 900S 2.3 convertible, and a 1989 900T 3dr (still have). never seen or owned one of the V6 NG900's though! they didn't sell well here, nor did the few they did last very long. also, if that's truly a 1993 model year, that makes it a very, very early production NG900.

[@swizzlstyx]

yes in the US, at least, the first model year for these was 1994. This one has to be pretty early based on that steering wheel, though. I heard the timing belt interval on these v6 engines was something insane like 30,000 miles. that is why you never seem them anymore lol.

[@adammcallister2260]

Reliable as hell those GM C25XE engines. Cam belt is due every 4 years or 40k though so I’d look at changing that and the cam covers for metal ones to stop oil leaking onto the exhaust manifolds

[@d-d-i]

And waterpump has to be changed everytime you change cambelt on these, as the pump rarely lasts any longer than the belt. I had Omega B with this engine, so I know the drill with these. Otherwise, these were bulletproof engines with basic maintenance.

Saab quality with a GM 2.5 v6 engine not as reliable as a 4 cylinders 2.0/2.3 b204/b234 but still pretty good :D

[@Evocati-Augusti]

Thst a 96 or 97 900 SE, not a 93. I think it's a 1997 900 SE B206I (NG900) and I think I counted only 4 plugs, they did make a 2.5 lt V6 no Turbo B258I. They also had a Saab 900 Talladega, which was one of my 6 Saabs, I had a 99 Viggen tuned and I just bought a 05 ARC convertible tuned to 280 HP..they are great cars...

[@exebassman]

I can't believe how loud that Saab is, I thought it would be quieter

[@netmanswe]

Sounds like valve or something similar is making a noise that isn’t entirely good, or does the engine need an oil change and a bit of driving to become 6-cylinder smooth?
