SAAB 93 FACTORY DEFECT THAT COST YOU BOOST

  • Hello everyone,
    In this video you will see what is the proper method of testing your intake system for vacuum and boost leak using the smoke machine or pressure source and soapy water.
    I will show some of the most common usually overlooked leaks, that include a factory defect in all saab 93s with the mitsubishi turbo.
    The most overlooked boost leaks are :
    1. The PCV valve, which cause an internal boost leak and many other symptoms like oil loss, smoke...etc.
    2. The bypass valve diaphragm, is another internal leak that require full understanding of the system to be able to diagnose.
    3. The factory defect, a missing gasket between the bypass valve and the turbo body.
    4. The forth one is a vacuum leak, located at the point where highest vacuum is achieved during driving under boost, the O-ring at the tip of the rear PCV hose where it bolts to the turbo inlet.
    If your car has the B207R, or your car has any version of the B207 but made after 2006 then you probably have a mitsubishi turbo.
    O-rings used:
    Turbo inlet PCV ID9.8 CS2.4mm
    Charge pressure Sensor ID8.8 CS1.9mm

    Not sure if you'll see this since it's been 4 years, but about to undertake this procedure with my 9-3. I had both of those plastic boost valves fail in the past couple years, and only now have I noticed, and I figured I would also make a gasket for this other part as well. Thank you for the informative video, I'm going to use .08 cm gasket made of rubber and fiber designed for high boost and temperature.

    Older 9-3's had a gasket on that bypass valve, strange how they decided to remove it. I also made my own because I wasn't about to shell out $250 USD for a BPV kit.
    Do yourselves a favor and use a regular paper hole punch for the bolt holes. Works perfectly

    Great video. I have a '05 Saab 9-3 2.0T ARC convertible w 77,000 miles and is performing below standard. I'm comparing it to my previous Saab, a '95 900SE 2.0 turbo convertible. I'm going to run through this testing process and see what I can find. A few portions of the video were above my skill level, like spraying soapy water on the bypass then going to the top of the engine to work on something else, then going back to the bypass valve to add a gasket. I understood the gasket issue, but not the other test.
    Your channel is a great resource for us Saab owners out there.
    Thanks for your help

    I have the B207L. in my case the diaphragm was torn it had a three holes in it (the diaphragm is different than yours). I realized after getting The codes P0244 and P0033. I have changed the diaphram I put a used one but I still have the P0033 code once in a while. I'm going to buy a new diaphragm and see what happen. the cover of the diaphragm has their own gasket in my saab 9-3 2003. Thanks. Excellent video.

    • @TheFlyingMechanicDIY
      @TheFlyingMechanicDIY  5 лет назад +1

      Your car will have that gasket as it has the Garret turbo.
      For the P0033 it is a little bit more involved code to diagnose without hand on the car, since u suspect the valve change it, but it could be other things like clogged bypass solenoid, or hoses ...etc
      Good luck

    I have the same exact problem. Thankfully the leak is small enough that it didn't do any harm to the engine. I also have issues with the ignition and injectors- the engine gets too much fuel which results in uneven revs, and even engine stopping completely if driven on low revs (below 2500 rpm). The car goes to a mechanic next week and until then I don't even attempt starting it. I'll try fixing some small things like passenger door central lock not working and the airbag sensor in the passenger seat.

      Adam Prancz , the pcv hose going from the back of the valve cover into the turbo, disconnect it and its between the turbo and the hose fitting, but this is a vacuum leak not boost leak.
      If ur car is under boosting, u must smoke test it , other component that can fail and cause under boost is the PCV valve (watch my video about it ).
      The turbo itslef can be failing as well

    Great Video! thanks for passing on your knowledge and experience. What P/N do we need to order for #3? Is the smoke detector procedure derived from SAAB? If not, how do SAAB mechanics check for vacuum leaks? Just by replacing parts until the pressure stabilizes?!

    • @TheFlyingMechanicDIY
      @TheFlyingMechanicDIY  5 лет назад +2

      Alex Sakellaris , if you mean the P/N for the gasket unfortunately there in no one, saab does not provide this gasket.
      The smoke test here is done not only according to SAAB standards but according to the industry standards as well.
      Mechanics use different methods, like using pressure only, water test, combustable gases tests, but the smoke test is proven to be the most accurate one.
      Note that, by this test u r testing the charged circuit and most of the vacuum circuit (part of brake vacuum in not included here).

    my saab 9-3 with the b207r i think has a vacuum leak as there is a slight whistle noise from the exhaust at first i thought it might be a collapsed exhaust pipe causing to much back pressure because under heavy load or full boost when i lay onto the throttle it shakes and missfires like crazy but im thinking its a vacuum leak the hoses all look old and could be leaking is this what happens to you when you said it performed badly or was it just low on power? oh and it idles kind of rough so thats why i think it is a vacuum leak there it doesnt do it right away when you start it cold so maybe when the rubber heats up a little bit it causes it or the metal where there isnt a gasket

    • @TheFlyingMechanicDIY
      @TheFlyingMechanicDIY  4 года назад

      Symptoms are not the way to go here.
      U will have to get familiar with scan tools and read data from the car, and the fuel trims will tell u if its running lean (vacuum leaks) or if its something else.
      In addition, when the car misfires under load, its 90% of the time from the coil, 5% old or incorrect spark plugs, 5% all other reasons .

    I have same issue on mine bypass valve. I was thinking making my own gasket but from thermal resistive silicone rubber. Its 1.5mm thick, do you think its ok or its too thick? Was thinkig to make it go over bypass membrane ( outside lip) and not around it, so when everything asembled and start torqing the bolts it make pressure and have a good sealing( not allowing air to escape)... What do you think?

    • @TheFlyingMechanicDIY
      @TheFlyingMechanicDIY  3 года назад +1

      I dont suggest any thick material, neither covering the lip of the diaphragm .
      I can suggest as well, u remove the cover of the valve, lay it on a flat glass which will reveal any warpage in the mating surface, then u can hummer on a flat steel to make it level, which will omit the need for any gasket .

    • @Aero93
      @Aero93 3 года назад

      @@TheFlyingMechanicDIY i was thinking doing the same job like you did with paper gasket, just i wanted to use silicone one because it can shape by conture of the mating surfaces. Your gasket is going over outside ring/lip of the membrane as I can see, so membrane is lying on paper gasket. The gasket is sandwiched between membrane and body of the turbo. Am I right?

      I had to stick with the industry standards, although its the cold side of the turbo, but it still can reach high temperature and with oil residues you only have couple of choices when it come to gasket, standard fire resistance paper gasket or graphite based gasket which is the way to go.

    Hello..it is not an engineering fault..there is a gasket for that port...you can see it in the EPC system from SAAB..it is available at eEuroparts.com

    • @TheFlyingMechanicDIY
      @TheFlyingMechanicDIY  5 лет назад +3

      Hi there, since no car from factory came with this gasket that makes it a defect.
      In addition, the part number of the valve for the Mitsubishi turbos is 55558627, if you order this part it will come with NO gasket even from Europarts, and thats Mitsubishi’s fault.
      I can understand that you got confused by the diagram in the EPC as it show the gasket available for all turbos, but if you look carefully, the valve shown in all the diagrams is the non Mitsubishi one (proof: look at the location of the valve tube connection, Mitsubishi should have it at the side of the valve, while GARRET have it in the middle) and the diagram shows the one that have it in the middle, that mean the diagram is showing the Garret one for all the turbos, which is not correct).
      I hope i didnt confuse you more, but in summery, no car that has Mitsubishi turbo came with it from factory, and it doesnt come in with Newley purchased part, so that makes it a legit factory defect.

      @@TheFlyingMechanicDIY Checked my 2007 B207E with the Mitsubishi 11T turbo and my conclusion is that there is not meant to be a gasket. The reason for it leaking is the thin metal cover not being rigid enough to clamp on the rubber diaphragm with out deforming. Place the cover on a flat surface with the "gasket" surface face down and you will see my point, on the outer edge between the holes for the 3 fasteners. Adding a gasket could potentially cause an internal leak. Forge motorsports makes an upgraded charge air bypass valve to resolve this issue.

    • @TheFlyingMechanicDIY
      @TheFlyingMechanicDIY  5 лет назад +1

      MrChristianAA, it meant to have a gasket according to both EPC & WIS, and it make sense that no two metal surfaces can be attached holding pressure without a gasket due to metal tolerances specially due heat.
      Ive bee installing these gasket for 3 year in a raw and its been successful for restoring boost and saving turbos (as they would spool less to generate the same boost level).
      U can elect to go with aftermarket products, but im not a big fan of aftermarket.
      Thanks for the notes though 👍

    • @MrChristianAA

      @@TheFlyingMechanicDIY The gasket shown in EPC,WIS, ESAABPARTS.COM is for the Garrett turbocharger mounted on B207E/B207L 2003-2006. Parts diagram are often general for that model (2003-2011 in this case) and include all petrol turbochargers. Can't even find that Mitsubishi, the manufacture of the turbocharger lists a gasket. The rubber diaphragm IS the "gasket". Volvo also use a version of these turbos and no gasket is used there either. If this gasket helps you it's great but not factory correct.
      As for saving the turbo in regards to boost level the ECU doesn't request a boost level. It requests a specified amount of air. Turbo pressure can thereby vary a bit depending on weather conditions, altitude etc.
