Saab Repair and Tech Talk
The Swedish Wrench is Saab repair and diagnosis
| If
you are a "do it yourself repair" Saab owner You will
find many articles that will interest you. I don't write much on step
by step repair procedures you can buy a manual for that. What I do
is fill in the gap where the Saab repair manuals leave off. Theory,
diagnosis and identifying what systems you are working with are as
important in a quality repair as following the step by step.
Many People have been asking for step by step repair procedure. If you are going to attempt repairs on your Saab you really need to have the correct manual. If you own the classic 900 16 valve 1985- 1993 you can get a great manual published by Bentley. I have used Bentley manuals and have found these manuals to be the best aftermarket repair guide available. I Have worked as a Saab repair tech for 17 years and have found the best technicians are the one who constantly have their nose in the repair manual. I have added a Free Saab classifieds section. Those of you familiar with HTML can add pictures and links if you wish. |

I'm still trying to answer as many e-mail repair questions as possible, but since I am now receiving more e-mail than I can read you may not get an answer. The best chance of getting your e-mail answered is to keep your question short, state your year and model and ask the type of question I can answer without writing a whole page response.
I have been having a great time conversing back and forth about your Saab repairs. A lot of you are very clever in some of the repair solutions you come up with. I know it is very difficult to do Saab repair even in a state of the art dealership. So my hats off to those of you fixing your Saab in you driveway without the luxury of special Saab tools and manuals.
I have also added a discussion board to help aid in your Saab repair. This is in hopes that some of you can answer questions for those who's e-mail I can't respond to. Feel free to post what ever you wish as long as it's about Saab.
