oh man, I've been sitting on my vacuum pump replacement for almost a year. really appreciate your motivation :)
Get ‘er done! It’s easy 😁
You don't have to turn the inner part of the coolant cap. The screw is on the outer part. The inner part is just a plug with the valve.
that’s true lol 😂 whoops. Screwing it seemed to help it come out easier at least (let me have that saving grace so I don’t look like a complete idiot)
@@AutoAutopsy And if you want to prevent this failure in the future, you can make a 180-degree CCW turn after tightening the cap with your hand to decrease stress on the cap.
Thanks for the guide. Doing mine this weekend
hope it all went smoothly!
Timing of this video is awesome - I was just watching your old video Saturday as I was replacing the seals on my air pump. video was helpful...but wish I saw this video first. Hope my bottom bolt doesn't leak! I found removing the return lines to the coolant tank freed up space over the pump.
Yeah. Those dreaded pumps that run off the cams. I did mine not long ago. Then I came up with a cool idea. Replace both pumps with electric ones. You would make a plate from steel and drill two holes in it for the 2 bolts that normally hold the Vacuum pump on. Then make a gaskit to seal it. No rubber seal would be required then. You would use a gum based sealent, not silicon, to paint the caskets with. You would run an electric pump in the Vacuum line. Just feed it 12 volts from your engine fuse box. I'm sure there would be a spare source of two but you must have a relay so they are only powered when the ignition is on. Electric cars must have an electric Vacuun assist. I do know for a fact that some GM cars have electric power steering pumps. So you could seal the power steering drive with a plate as well. If you could do this you may pick up as much as 10 horsepower. There would be better torque across the rev range and better fuel economy. No more oil leaks. I wonder if anyone has tried this? Food for thought. Cheers from downunder.
If someone can figure out the wiring and plate in a way that looks oem, I’d be all ears. Would be super cool 😎
2011 & 2012 Ford F150 ecoboost use an electric pump for vacuum assist. I believe it operates based on vacuum readings. It's located behind drivers side headlight.
Some grease is necessary when installing new seals. The seal without grease can be damaged during installation when you tighten the screws.

Hello, my experiece - I had instant oil leaks after change of vacuum pump gasket. I tried 4 different AM vendors but it was still leaking. I found main problem (in my situation) - all AM gaskets (v.pump/ head) I'd tested were thinner than OEM (what I learned at the end) and leaked again. Both bolt threads are at aluminium (lower to the block, higher to the head), so it's easy to damage them by exceeding proper torque as you try to tighten it more (Tightening torque: 24 Nm (18 lbf ft)). Finally I bought a brand new pump (Pirburg OEM) and found out a real difference of the gasket hight. Repaired both threads (inserts+loctite), tightened properly and voilá, dry as a bone since than...😉
Unfortunately, it seems like only OEM parts fits properly (f.e. third party wipers mechanism was my last mistake...)
P.S.: I think that right size of gasket and check of engine threads is crucial.
that’s another reason to ALWAYS buy oem when you can!!
Great video! 🙏🙏🙏 I got my t-shirt this week in the mail. It is Fabulous 👍
Amazing! Thanks so much for the support. Hope you love the shirt
You have to be kidding me! I just did mine again yesterday, first time was years ago after watching your first video on this. Kept smelling burning oil with the fresh air on.
agh! :(
@@AutoAutopsy I accidentally ordered the viton seals instead of the nitrile. Apparently they do better with heat, I guess we will see!
didnt realize you wore a dexcom @10:45 i also have it tp manage my type1
I do! It’s fun stuff 🙃 jk
thanks for the tutorial. I'll have a look on the vacuum pump.
👊🏼😁
I'm about to do mine this weekend I'm gonna do the metal thermostat housing while it's out seems like it will be alot easier to do while the pump is out.
Awesome! Good luck
Nice car seat for your office chair 🎬😁👍
Thanks!
Nice fix.
🫡🙌🏼
Nice engine cover
thanks!
Not all kitts come with the round oil seal. If you are having trouble getting this one, you can use the one you get with the oil filter. That's the same one.
If you get that kit I put in the video it does! Good tip
I just came across a 2008 9-3 2.0T with the SAI pump 😮
No way! Maybe someone put a 03 or 2011 motor in it? 😂
@AutoAutopsy checked it through Hedin and everything matches. That's how it came from the factory 😲
They have an odd sense of humor in the 06-08 is it a build 06 but plated 08? Manual?
I see this often in Australia Saab really started to bits their cars then...
Here it's convertibles and v6 and manual that are really bitzered... @@iancudny6330
I drove Saab from 1999 to 2022. Had 900, 9000, 9-3og and 9-3ng and have never had the problems you have in this video. But all of them leaked from the top cover gasket.
The B207 NG 9-3 is really the only motor where the vacuum pump is a problem!
@AutoAutopsy you should get a 9000 of you dont allready have one. The best Saab there is.
I’d love to someday. Unfortunately very limited on space at the moment
What is a vacuum pump necessary? Sorry I don't know newer cars. Is this different than the vacuum on intake?
Typically newer cars have this. Also all diesels as no vacuum...
They're put into vehicles to combat the positive boost pressures put out by turbocharged engines
Where did you get your coil cover?
I installed it in the video and the sellers info is in the video description: ruclips.net/video/yxUkyhZxobE/видео.htmlsi=ton302uzcfk96IRg
Hi i have this issues before..but i changed it when the car was hot .and it's come up smoothly..if it's coold but a hot water one it
I’m sorry but I don’t really understand what you’re saying
@AutoAutopsy I'm talking about the water lok hedge..
Do you have a hissing sound coming from the power steering pump?
Negative
Didnt fix mine suspect rear main seal...
That would be a completely different spot from the vacuum pump. See where the highest spot is that you can find oil and go from there
Having secondary air makes the vac pump job slightly more annoying to do
definitely :(
De-CAPitated?
LOL
Can you stop saying that SAI is ONLY on 2003 and 11? They are not only on 2003 and 11 man im starting to not trust your info more and more
what? yes it is. prove me wrong. www.esaabparts.com/viewparts.php?searchpart=1§ion=514514650
SAI exists on the 2.8 for all years, but only 03 and 11 for the 2.0.
Love your videos, but thats a Opel ;p Saab was 9-5 pre 2009 and 9-3 pre 2001
Sorry to burst you bubble but all saabs are gm platform since 1994....apart from 9000 which was a fiat...
Both cars you mentioned are also GM Saabs 😂 yes, it ***shares parts*** with other cars, but that hardly makes it an Opel or any other brand. GM has had their hands in Saab since the late 80's, and other brands before that (see Ford V4's in classic Saabs and Triumph engine in the 900). All cars today pretty share parts with other brands in one way or another.
