I would add to clean the seal gasket areas up good and use a non curing sealer like Hylomar on the hoses and gasket area, as they tend to leak if not pretty clean. and Never Sieze on the bolts.
Jorge Lewis Usually when your car doesn't get up to temperature (generally half way on the guage) my 9-5 stayed at 1/4 to the lower level on the guage. Swapped it out and hey presto it's fixed.
But taking out the battery will "divorce" my radio. I had to get it "remarried" to my car last time the battery was removed, which cost me too much in my area. How can avoid this big inconvenience?
try just loosening the bolt that holds down the battery and move it over while you remove the coolant hose, probably would be easier with someone else's help to hold the battery while you remove it
I don't know about those bolts, but I do know the sump plug on Saabs are definitely 1/2" not 13mm as you might expect on a European made car. You can get away with using a 13mm socket though, of course.
Perhaps the best videos i have seen for thermostat replacement.
thanks for your wonderful video! you describe things very clearly and your video is crisp and clear. I hope you'll create more for Saabs
Great job. you explained everything in great detail and the video was clear and precise. I'm doing mine today. Thanks.
Great video man, thanks! Exactly what in was looking for. Clear, precise instructions on exactly the car I own. Thank you!
Just ordered mines eEuroparts great video bro saved me some money
Thanks for posting this. It was very helpful.
Great job. Excellent video.
@4:40 you ALMOST GOT IT. JUST A LIIITTLE MORE. ALLLLLMOOSTTT THERE. lol awesome video!
Big thanks giving it was really helped me
There's a hole on thermostat. Saab demands the hole is placed on the top. Other than that being left out. Video is mint.
I put it the „hole“ on 10 o clock, because 12 was not possible. Will it be ok??
@@sasap1156 double check that's not possible. Not sure how you mean that actuslly. The Hole needs to be up for gravity pressure

Thank's for the post.
use 5/16 nut driver for hose clamps
well this helped alot. I have a saab 2001 95. and mines it over heating.
Could you tell me, how do you know when you need to replace the thermostat ?

Or use a a battery charger on the terminals
Thx
@7:00 probably 13mm. Half inch would be 12,7mm.
yep, half inch for me I use 13mm

josiehatchet 1/2 is a 13mm

2.3 engines are so easier than the 2.6 to change the thermostat you have to take out the exhaust the battery the heat shields
It’s not a snorkel is a over engine charger pipe
hey I have to say you don't have to strip alot of the things you have described....
5:10 dude use a socket 😆
Bad screwdriver
