|
|
|
|
| Repair: | Batteries went low in both remotes causing a
"Check key battery" message on the display. Installed new
batteries.
|
| |
|
|
| Repair: | Installed a previously rebuilt engine from another
car with a mileage of about 81000 km. The engine has a new head
gasket, new timing chain and pulleys, appears in a good condition
visually, runs smoothly, sounds good too (idles quieter than the
old one). Found and replaced a broken transmission mount.
|
| |
|
|
| Repair: | A technician at
Thornhill
Saab diagnosed a failed piston rod bearing. An engine rebuild
or replacement is required. I decided to move the car to
Beacon Motors for repair.
|
| | Rebuild:
| $7700.00 | | Total: | $0.00 |
|
|
|
| Problem: | A severe clunking/rattling observed during a track
session at Shannonville Motorsport Pack. The sound seems to be
originated from the second cylinder. Stopped immediately, towed the
car to Thornhill
Saab.
|
| |
|
|
| Problem: | The car developed a series of problems: hard to
start, low idle, stumbling and hesitation at takeoff. The "check
engine" light lit up, and the throttle body switched to limp-home
mode.
| | Repair: | A technician at Thornhill
Saab diagnosed a faulty throttle position sensor in the throttle
body. Replaced the throttle body assembly with another (a used part
from Beacon Motors).
That fixed the problem.

|
|
| Wheels/tires: | Pulled the all-season tires on 16" rims out
of storage for inspection and discovered that one of the tires
developed a bubble on the sidewall. The tire shop could not find
a replacement Toyo Proxes FZ-4 tire as they are out of production.
Received a store credit instead, and purchased a set of Toyo
Observe Garit HT winter tires.
|
| |
|
|
| Maintenance: | Replaced the serpentine belt with a shorter
one to bypass the lower idler pulley, according to a recent Saab
recommendation (belt from
NAPA, part
#25060950). Replaced the top idler and tensioner pulleys, as they
had worn bearings (parts from
Thornhill
Saab).

|
|
| Upgrade: | Upgraded the software in the ECU using a
PPC system (portable program carrier) from a Swedish tuner
BSR. The product is rated
at 239 hp / 391 Nm. The maximum boost observed after the
installation is up to 13 psi in second gear, 15 psi in third.

|
| |
|
|
| Upgrade: | Installed a Saab Sport Exhaust -- a complete
stainless steel cat-back exhaust system consisting of a straight
centre pipe and a rear muffler made by Remus, Austria (parts from
Thornhill
Saab). Replaced a flex pipe, since the old one was rusted badly
(part from Beacon Motors,
received in exchange for used suspension parts left after the
roadholding kit installation). The old exhaust was sold to a local
club member.

| |
|
|
| Wheels/tires: | Purchased a set of Toyo Proxes T1-S tires
(size 225/45ZR17), balanced with tape weights. Installed the
17" wheels with new tires on the car.
|
| | Tires:
| $1035.00 | | Supplies:
| $69.00 | | Labour:
| $46.00 | | Total: | $1150.00 |

tires after using up the thread on the 17" at the track.
|
|
|
|
| Maintenance: | Installed new front brake pads, ACDelco
DuraStop Ceramic (parts from
Thornhill
Saab). The old pads were worn down to 2..3 mm left and 3..4 mm
right.
|
| |
|
|
| Problem: | A clunking sound is heard in the front when
turning the steering wheel at low speeds. The sound seems to
be coming from the top of the left strut. | | Repair: | Lubricated the upper strut mount, re-torqued
the nuts. |
| |
|
|
| Maintenance: | Changed engine oil (Mobil1 15W-50 SuperSyn)
and oil filter (Saab original, from

|
|
| Maintenance: | Rotated the wheels front to back. Cleaned
hubs and rotors.
|
|
|
|
| Repair: | The left link replacement eliminated clunking in the
left, but it still continued from the right. The service advisor at
Thornhill
Saab acknowledged that anti-roll bar links were overlooked
at the time of new strut installation, and agreed to cover the
labour to replace the second link.
|
| | Link:
| $41.74 | | Labour:
| $0.00 | | Total: | $41.74 |
|
|
|
| Problem: | The front end developed a clunking sound over
bumps. I was hoping the suspension upgrade would cure that, but it
did not. | | Repair: | The left link of the front anti-roll bar was
causing the problem. One of the ball joints on the link wore
out so the link became loose. Installed a new link (part from
Thornhill
Saab).
|
| |
|
|
| Upgrade: | Installed front struts and springs from a
Saab
Roadholding kit, replaced upper strut mounts (including new
bolts) and thrust bearings with new (parts from

|
|
| Problem: | The spring clip securing the actuator rod on the
wastegate arm got lost, causing the rod to slip from the arm and
hang freely. The wastegate remained fully open, no boost observed.
| | Repair: | Reattached the rod, installed a new clip (donated by
Thornhill
Saab). |
| |
|
|
| Problem: | The plastic shield protecting the engine and the
serpentine belt from underneath cracked in the middle and became
split into six pieces. The central part fell out, while the
corners remaned fastened with their bolts. | | Repair: | Installed a new shield (part from
Thornhill
Saab). |
| |
|
|
| Maintenance: | The front oxygen sensor caused the "Check
engine" light several times during the winter with the error code
of "Front O2 sensor slow to respond". Car was running fine, but it
seemed like a good idea to replace the old sensor. Installed a
new Bosch sensor (part from
The Saab Site). |
| |
|
|
| Repair: | Repaired and refinished a 16" rim bent in a
flat tire accident (see the entry from 26.02.2004). Installed a
replacement Toyo Proxes FZ-4 tire (slightly used) under the road
hazard warranty. |

|
| Wheels/tires: | Purchased a used set of Gary Fisher quad
three spoke 17x7" wheels with 225/45R17 Kumho Ecsta 711 tires
(from Taliaferro Imports).
Shipping tires from USA is expensive, but the bottom line is
still satisfying, considering that the retail price of a new set
would be $2650. Installed the wheels on the car.

|
|
| Repair: | I couldn't find a new Toyo Proxes FZ-4 tire as
they are out of production. Installed a used Michelin MXV4 tire
in the back as a temporary substitute. The rest of the tires are
worn enough to consider a full replacement in the near future. |
| |
|
|
| Problem: | The front left tire went flat on the road.
Traveling on the compact spare in the rear the rest of the day. |
|
|
|
| Problem: | The driver window refused to go up
(a very serious problem in February ;). | | Repair: | The plastic rod in the window rocker switch wore
off and became too short to push the contacts (hint: the switch
didn't click "right"). Swapped the rod with another switch,
it seems they both work fine this way. |
|
|
|
| Problem: | The left low beam headlight went out. | | Repair: | Bought a new General Electric bulb at Canadian Tire. |
| |
|
|
| Problem: | Two of the four screws holding the direct
ignition cassette went missing, and the third was about to
fall out. | | Repair: | Replaced the missing screws and tightened
all four. |
| |
|
|
| Repair: | Fixed the cupholder by glueing the rotation
actuator back in place. Installed the cupholder back. |
|
|
|
| Problem: | The in-dash cupholder broke. It was spinning
freely instead of rotating into the working position when opened.
I took it out using a flexible screwdriver extention after removing
the SID, the stereo and the ACC. A new cupholder costs $109,
I better try to fix this one first. |
| | Cupholder:
| $109.00 | | Total: | $0.00 |

the Saab safety recall. |
| |
|
|
| Maintenance: | Changed engine oil (Saab 5W-30
semi-synthetic "Turbo" blend) and filter (Saab original) (parts from
eEuroparts). | | Comment: | The maintenance was performed ahead of schedule
after a high-performance driving school session. |
| | Oil and filter:

Aero, 17 mm vs 15 mm (parts from
Taliaferro Imports).
|
| |
|
|
| Maintenance: | Installed original Saab front rotors and
EBC Greenstuff brake pads (rotors from
eEuroparts, pads from
Taliaferro Imports).
| | Comment: | Upon a close inspection the Saab rotors actually
looked much better than the Zimmermans, when those were new.
Saab rotors are better machined, have their side surfaces
painted to prevent the rust, and are better packaged. |
| | Rotors:
| $256.01 | | Pads:
| $143.29 | | Total: | $399.30 |
|
|
|
| Upgrade: | Installed a wide angle driver's side mirror.
This is a split convex mirror identical to the passenger side
mirror, produced for right hand drive Saabs, and is not normally

| Problem: | Vibration at a steady speed at 120+ km/h,
worse vibration when braking from this speed.
(See the entry from 14.08.2003.) | | Resolution: | Front rotor replacement advised.
The problem is blamed on the weakened integrity of the
cross-drilled rotors, abrasive pads and unevenly torqued
wheel nuts. Plus the driving style and weather conditions.

| | Complaint: | A waste of time and money. Although the
suggested rotor replacement would obviously cure the vibration when
braking, nothing is done about the wheel vibration at highway
speed. No wheel or suspension check has been performed.

| Problem: | The battery has lost the power and only held the
charge for half a day at best after an hour of driving. | | Repair: | Measured the battery voltage at 9V, charge
voltage at 13.5V. Checked for parasite draws when the car is off,
nothing detected. Installed a new Interstate battery. |
