So...have you had success with any of the suggestions? BTW...LED bulbs can be easily obtained from an online retailer if not available locally. Thanks for your work!

Great stuff, I might consider this for my 1981 900 GLs.

I have a 1981 version of the GLs, 4 door with a boot and manual transmission with 38,000 miles on the clock. I love it!

Bit silly really does a ford escort have the same driving feel as a ford focus ? does a Vauxhall cavalier have the same driving experience as a Vauxhall insignia, did my old Mk2 Jaguar have the same feel as an XF I shall leave you to figure out where this is going

How can I get in touch with the owner? Thanks

My grandfather used to work at saab in Trollhättan

Hi Classic Saab Guy, Could you get me in contact with your friend. He has his car for sale on Blokcet, i am just not able to register an account as a Dutch citizen.

My first car were saab 99L brown from 1978. 4vxl.

This is very interesting, thank you for sharing. I’m looking to retrofit a catalytic converter to my 1994 Toyota Landcruiser (1FZ petrol engine). These were sold in Australia without any catalytic converters, apparently due to a loophole in the law as they were classed as a light truck. My goal is to reduce the lawnmower smell of the current exhaust.

I have 2 classic 900 Saabs, 1981 GLs and a 1990 T16S Aero and a 1996 9000 Aero. All manual transmissions. They are all Saab at their best, just fantastic cars!

Love the video. I hope your 9000 is still enjoying life! Mine blew a brake line. A new pre made line comes tomorrow! I hope the swap.goes smooth!

IMO the 99 was the best looking and best proportioned of all the Saab's. I had one for a few years back in the early 1990's, metallic bronze with turbo wheels and it was bullet proof. Took it on a 2000 mile round trip from South Wales to do a tour of Scotland and it didn't miss a beat. I've always fancied getting the turbo model but prices have been out of my reach.

I love my 9000 but i kind of like the ng 900 looks too. Saw a slightly rusty '96 I think for sale near me. No turbo and auto. That's two sad things but maybe a winter beater to save mine from salt. Saab on!

Had both and 900NG do not feel like a saab the 900OG is still in my possession the 900NG is scrapped. Have driven plenty of 9-3 and 9-5 and they are just not saab. Not bad cars and my 900NG was my daily for many years before sold and later scrapped. For me the 900OG was the last "true" saab, then it went downhill pretty fast and look where they are today...

I think Porsche and Saab had quite friendly association.

It's very hard to think of the simple things first. I'm a classic saab guy with c900's and 9000's.

Nice restauration. Just missing pictures, where you see the car from the front and the back.

Hi ,nice content, i recommend pine hollow diagnostics on youtube, very helpfull and best source imo...my old volvo was cured by spraying wd 40 on the brake pedal contact...maybe its 2 different problems occuring at same time, as mentioned in the comments, good luck, from bob Belgium, saab 85

It would be nice to see videos about life in Sweden, old towns/villages, countryside and customs etc which could obviously be combined with Saabs.

Very helpful video, thanks!

Myopic Sycophant. Yesss it' was a decent car..... 20 years ago. Not so much in the 21st Century.

Har någon provat biltemas variant? vill bli av med lukt från en 3.9 Rover V8.

I bought a white Saab 90 MY1985 three weeks ago, near mint but missing some parts so yeah I'm on a spending spree as we speak, middle radio console alone was 140€ and the minilites 270€. Worth every cent but don't tell the missus!

Those minilite rims though ❤

1:20 min in the video is exactly my car

I drove a classic 900 for years and have access to a 1999 9-3 convertible. The 9-3 has a 2l softturbo and the 4speed Auto box what makes it a super comfy cruiser. But ride and handling make the 9-3 (which was already improved to the 900 NG) a much much less involving and enjoyable ride. The classic 900 was simply the best handling front wheel drive car of its time. And the successor just couldn’t match. How can you present a new car that handles worse than its predecessor without damaging the brand!?

When it blinks that quickly it usually means that one of the bulbs are broken. But I reckon that your problem isn’t as simple…

Hi, I have been driving a Saab 9000. Some years ago already (ouch, getting older..). When I had that marvelous car, I stumbled upon an article from somebody, who had been 'refurbishing' his 9000. He took out the back seat and made it into a little van. That is to say: he had to darken the back side windows. I am living in The Netherlands and in those days, you could drive a 'grey' license. Meaning: when you have a van, or a car with no back seats, made into a little van, you could go for a special license. A normal registration had a yellow colour, this one was grey. Hence the name. In this way, the taxes you had to pay for the car, were substantial less. Alas, I cannot remember where I read it, maybe it was in the magazine of the Saab Club. I was thinking to do the same, but then my wife got pregnant😀

WARNING MY FRIEND !!! . Keep reg plate hidden and avoid that SaabFest !!! . Criminal gang operating out of South Wales ......(been going for 40 years) .......... . The "profile" a victim and will wait decades ..... burgle houses just for documents !!! . Watch for a silver 900 turbo 16S with red leather .....(immaculate car) ....... Owner very polite.... respectable......sincere ............. but DEADLY . IM SORRY FOR THE POST 😞 ........... the cars were never meant EVER for this conduct

Go for it!

What? You have too many hobbies! ;-) Join the club! Yes, please post all your interests SAABs and all!

Hej do. Sure. Go a bit broader. SwedeStuff? Scandious?

Whatever it is, the NG900/9-3 is a fine car, especially in LHD non-bulkhead breaking guise..!

Fabulous detail in your video my friend . Thank you . I just did the job successfully on my 9000 cs (it is the same system ) thanks to your help . Cheers 🙂

What a 900 EMS?! I think EMS was only available on the SAAB 99.

I'm inspired. My father bought a Saab 9000 in 1986 which I drove to the Netherlands for him as new, he ran the car until @ 2001 when he gave it to me to run for another few years. Wonderful car, very few about in the UK today

I have one in Morocco for sale

The classic 900 was looking it's age but it's distinctiveness was unforgettable, the NG was still a fine car and I personally would be happy with one. The 9000 was far too Conservative for my liking, it looked like any other executive car, best ignored tbh. My all time favourite though was the 99, biggest mistake of my life was selling it, the only thing that really irritated my was the roof liner ( what were Saab thinking?). The 9-3's were beautiful both generations so GM weren't all bad really. It was a travesty letting Saab go to the wall, fuck sake, the Swedish government should have nationalised the manufacturer and sold it off when the time was right

No one thinking yo move theDIC.unit higher10 to 15mm. high from engine cover by used TEFLON insulator.Sothe DIC.case not touch the engine cover.So the DIC.unit not so hot. TRY do it...

Glad you were all well! I have a 5 door 900i 8v hatchback from 89 . Love it

th-cam.com/video/n3ZaVjDt_Zk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TaMNpHK07_54YSMi i hit at 100 kmh no belt walked out. Thas why now i have 3 saabs all 2000 93

You’ll regret it:( sure you can’t store her?

A good concise history of a fabulous car. I owned two 99’s. First was a two door Verona Green 1.85 and later an EMS. It was while owning the EMS that I sourced a Saab 96 for my wife which was a gem. She still misses that car all those years later. It’s such a shame Saab lost their way.

Hello iam looking for the 3d print bushings for a 1992 saab convertible

The main reason for replacing the rear on the 99 was that the press tools were worn out. At the same time, they wanted to keep the 99 as an entry-level model, and therefore the Saab 90 was created.

I have just bought a v6 900 convertible nice car to be fair still runs well

My Grandpa had a 1984 GLi 😊 Many years ago now.

Ha ha... it's ok to slip up, it's all a learning curve at the end of the day.

NG900 is objectively the superior vehicle... Minimal GM influence actually. And a much stronger drivetrain. Better looking too. Look at a well-spec'd NG900 coupe vs a C900 coupe. The NG coupe is the best looking body they ever made. It stands out no less than the old 900. They both have major influence from typical styling from their respective eras. If you look at the parts, it shares no more with any other vehicles than the C900 did. Certainly less than older Saabs witth their Triumph or Ford engines... I think most of the NG900 hate from "purists" comes from straight up ignorance and baseless lies. Even jealousy that the NG900s and OG9³s have proven to be the most durable car Saab ever produced.

Nice video although a little confusing - when you talked about the facelifted sloped front at 3:13, I think you were talking about the CC/CD models, but showed a picture of the CS.
