Saab Cars - Tech2 For Dummies - Episode #8 - Broken Bypass Valve

[@Harleyboi]

Your left hand looks really good bro

[@derrijl]

Very very clear and good video sir. I hope I will stay in contact with you. I bought exactly the same car but have a lot of problems. Today I changed the headgasket.

[@Jandejongjong]

tip use velcro on the end of your pliers to keep them grabbed on your ring. so you can use your spare hand.

[@screwit8408]

Thanks for the video. I think hose clamp pliers would come in handy in this project ;)

[@TechCars]

Yes they would. 👍😁

[@rodneyturner6959]

The autos are good bro

[@maxnovakovics2568]

@@rodneyturner6959 nothing against em. Just I learned to drive in a manual and I continue to, I love it. But my knee is starting to get sore and I'm thinking it's time for an automatic with my next vehicle..

When connecting the silicone hose towards the back wall is that a easy fit and exactly where do that hose go

[@TechCars]

You should check out the video from TrionicSeven. I think I put a link to it within the video. Have a look. BR SaabCars

[@mw8653]

Hi I have the same problem the other end of this hose not connected did you locate the attachment point for the pipe thx.

[@Dimme]

Hur länge höll avlastningventilen från Speedparts? Mer än 1 år?

[@TechCars]

2 har jag för mig.. 😂🤣Därefter blev det original igen. Fattar inte hur svårt det ska vara..

[@Dimme]

@@TechCars hehe fick beställa original från Maptun. Några fåtal i lager. De är slut nästan överallt. Inte ens Orio har några i lager.

[@TechCars]

@@Dimme Förvånar mig inte.. Orio gör inte många knop!

[@henke103]

Didn't you swap in the OG when you brought your NG9-5 at Lafrentz? Great to see a new video by the way!

[@TechCars]

Hey. No I kept it. I have just put too much money into it. I wouldn't get that much money for it. So I drive it during winter times and every now and then. Maybe in the future I can let go of it if I know it will live on in great shape.

[@Shoppey89]

It´s pretty obvious your not a ,echanic given how "careful" you are. and tbh even before you change the valve you always check the hoses for cracks leaks etc. But a good job done.

[@TechCars]

Yes when I was watching the video myself I think I was a bit to careful. 🤣😅 The hoses were actually in good shape but you never know.. And yes I'm not a real mechanic. 🙄😔😁 Thanks for watching.

[@jfease3252]

I’m sorry, bud, but that was some of the nicest video I’ve seen here, but most of the time your hands are in the way, and the lack of narration….this isn’t the video I would use. But most everyone that commented liked it, so maybe it’s easier to tell than I found. But I mean nothing negative- I would really, really like to use your stuff (the clarity!!), I’m just giving my feedback.

[@TechCars]

You're right. Too much hands in this one. Thanks for your feedback.

[@gpg3307]

Too! Looong TIME!.. Otherwise goo..zzzzzz

[@alfiversen7023]

Another helpful tip on my way as a new Saab owner. Where do I get a Tech 2

[@TechCars]

Hi. eBay is probably the best source for Tech2 Stuff! Thanks for watching.

[@Jandejongjong]

china

[@davekarlen6591]

is original okey even if its tuned from 185 hk to 245?

[@TechCars]

Should be. I have the aero and that's 250bhp, but I guess there are others that will hold up even more. Have you found a good alternative?

[@davekarlen6591]

@@TechCars i bought me a new 1 and i saw that i silicone was dry and broken, ill change all cilicone tomorrow and put the new bypass valve on^^

[@mozafferabbasi1254]

Is there a way to know if this is broken without a check engine light?

[@TechCars]

There's one way.. Old School. Remove it and try blow air through it. It shouldn't be possible from one or the other way. Can't recall now which way it is .. ☺

[@demarcussutton4812]

Can someone tell me the name of that silver pipe he is holding? Mine broke :(

[@bthome2010]

eSaabparts website is great for figuring out the names of parts and getting information. They have full schematics that help you choose each part. Even if you find the part cheaper elsewhere, eSaabParts is great for learning about your car.

[@arieg.mandelblum1481]

What did you spray ob the part at 8:26?

[@TechCars]

Hi. It was just some greasy to make it fit easier. Not much just a small portion on the surface.

[@isabellagrimes1922]

But your hand is in the way.

[@GerardoRodriguez-dg5je]

should rename this video "My left hand" No reference to what this part does, what issue arises when it goes bad, how to test it nothing. And it was supposed to be a Tech2 video. What the heck?

[@TechCars]

This is probaly the best I could dig out for you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve The Fault code points either at the valve itself or at the vacuum hoses. Since the hoses were updated just weeks before this it was the vavle that was bad. It went bad one year later. The only one that last is the original one. One could put one end to the mouth and blow like there's no tomorrow and if it's open it's broken if rememeber correctly.

2006 93 Aero. Heat doesn't work ☹️

[@TechCars]

Where in the car?

[@1aikane]

@@TechCars !? the heat inside the car doesn't work. Installed new water pump. Heat still doesn't work.

[@TechCars]

@@1aikane Do you have any faultcodes in the car? Thermostat is working?

[@1aikane]

@@TechCars no fault codes seen. The car runs perfectly, but no heat. Should I just have the thermostat changed?

[@TechCars]

@@1aikane I was just thinking, since everything works fine. The car runs fine, maybe it just thinks that it's not warm enough to warm the cabin? Do your engine temp gauge go up to the middle?

[@tomitoikka367]

How about MDI for dummies? Just received the device 👍

[@TechCars]

That would be awesome. But I actually don't have that instrument yet. Where did you buy yours? Link please :)

[@tomitoikka367]

@@TechCars From E-bay of course ;) Those are sold in Britain and in China. I purchased mine from a Chinese seller. It came with a 500GB hard disc with Windows 7 32 bit and all software needed to work with MDI 👍 The original MDI costs something like 1350 € but the copies are less than 200 €. Mine costed a bit over 200 € with that software hard disc 👍

[@TechCars]

Nice! Have you connected it yet?

[@tomitoikka367]

@@TechCars No, I haven't connected it yet since my TTiD is at the garage to get heat seater replacements and the replacement of the oil pump O-ring. Showed "low oil pressure - turn off the engine" error message @ cold start. Had to repair those ones. The garage staff told me they had some connection issues to ORIO/GM server with MDI so hopefully they'll overcome those ones and I can try my MDI when I'll get my car back 👍

[@SteveJonesPerezCom]

Lose the black gloves!!

[@Jandejongjong]

lol it was the hose or the black thing.. not even testing.. replace straight away.. thats bad garage tactics. thumb down my man. always test!!

[@TechCars]

Hosed were replaced a few months before it gave up. They were in excellent condition and still are. It's this damn by pass valves that brakes. I finally bought the "original" and that's way better than the other after market valves. 👌

[@ashtonharvey5723]

@@TechCarsmy car just got this code. Should replacing this valve that you changed fix it? It is a 2004 Saab 9-5 2.3. It has the same valve as the one replaced. It’s a p1110 code

[@TechCars]

@@ashtonharvey5723 Hi. I would check the silicon tubes as well. Also don't waste your money on the cheapest valves. It seems like the only one lasting is the original one. Best of luck!

[@ashtonharvey5723]

@@TechCars I found out it’s the solenoid back by the firewall that runs the part you changed. it’s stuck open. I compared it to my other Saab 9-5 that has no engines lights on. I got one on ordered. I’m almost 100% certain it is the issue that solenoid valve that runs the part that you changed. It’s back by the firewall up towards the top.

[@TechCars]

@@ashtonharvey5723 Yeah. I forgot about that one. That's correct! Great that you found the issue.
