You are a truly saab beacon (lighthouse). From 20 videos with saab hacks and problem mine has 15-16 . You should make videos for 3 major problems . T8 ecu problems ( insulation or relocation) Door locks And something about proper alignment.
This video helped me solving the boost issues (no cel) on my 05 Vectra (Z20NET/B207). Finally got that boost back. Many thanks and all the best from germany 👍🏼
Easier to push the PCV valve from the throttle body end of the intake manifold, just push with your pliers or screw driver or anything that will fit in the hole, like an allen wrench or 1/4 extension.
absolutely impressive as always! You are my 'go-to' guy for my 9-3 maintenance Cyd, thank you very much for these excellent examples, so well put together and documented.
Removing the PCV valve is " Pain in the Butt " ..... But I enjoy watching your vids ! Some time ago, you promised to make a video how to repair the Lumber Support of the driver's seat and I'm still waiting !
Great video. Just done mine thanks to your advice. as someone mentioned, removing the pcv by pushing it from the inside is easier than trying to grab it with pliers.
Yeah, it is, as I found out since making this. Although I have blocked the original PCV valve and fitted an external one from a Mazda RX7 in prep for fitting a catch can. The RX7 valve is much better anyway - my brand new valve was leaking boost into the crankcase, not any more!
wow! that is really concealed! I have 175,000 mi on my 2010 9-3 XWD, and I know it has never been changed! I have used Amsoil signature series synthetic oil since I bought the car at 90,000 mi, but maybe it's time to change it, since the gases can distroy it. Thanks so much for the video!
@@CycloneCyd Then I can ask here. There is a P 0300 fault in my vehicle, which I could not find a solution for. For this, I changed the spark plugs, coils, oxygen sensor, air flow meter. PVC valve stuck in my mind. Could it be related to that? Thanks.
@@orkunbaş-f4g PCV is a possibility. If the car has done much more than 50-60,000 miles you should change the valve as a matter of course. ruclips.net/video/ro0CN6SdD5s/видео.html P0300 though, is more often than not a vacuum leak.

Hello. I have a slight problem with my Saab. Just brought the car back from deads. It was sitting for the last 4 years and bought it to bring back to life. Replaced spark plugs, oil, filters, replaced all vacum lines. Fixed the turbo, and replaced the air filter with one open air filter. Also the exhaust needed fix, so I bought one second hand from a breaker. Replaced struts, springs, strut mounts, bushings, arms and mostly all bits... Put new oil gearbox, flushed the power steering and put new oil. Also put fresh coolant. Now the problem it goes like this. The car starts fine, drives fine, idles fine. But when I rev the engine harder a cloud of smoke stats to appear. The cloud is very big when accelerating hard, and it is still present but not as much when idling. This happens only with the engine cold. I opened the turbo hose se there if it is any oil inside, and found a bit of oil. Not much but it was a few drops. Now I wonder if I might have some oil in the exhaust since bought from breaker and I don't know the history of the part. Maybe the car it was on had some issues and thrown some oil in the exhaust. Or maybe is my pcv valve bad since the car was not started for so many years. Coolant level stays in the correct margins and temperature is great too.... So I wonderif oil in the exhaust or bad pcv could be the culprit for my smoking saab. If you have any suggestion, please help me out. Thank you very much.
Another great video 👍, I'll be tackling this during the week, no issues at moment just a preemptive repair. Also gives me the chance to check how my ecu cooling mod fix has held up. edit now done and the valve was starting to leak a small bit with the test blow and suck.
Also just done this on my saab aero I've got recently, valve was completely knackered on this one and didn't restrict blowing or sucking. Car ran good before so didn't expect a faulty one as it was just another pre-emptive repair but now idle feels better and more responsive at low revs.
I probably should look into this. Aero is burning oil (about 1ltr/3000km) and seems to be going down on power slowly without misfires and such... Boost leakage through PCV could explain it
Rebuild: ruclips.net/video/a7cmZrBaMM8/видео.html this is for Denso injectors on B207 from 07MY. Bosch injectors are basically the same but I don't think they have the plastic rings Simple clean with inexpensive tool and cleaner (tool link in description):ruclips.net/video/8rHmN2AC_mk/видео.html
Could a faulty PCV valve be the cause of the throttle body getting gummed up? I got a P2135 fault code (& limp mode). Cleaning throttle body cured it for a while but as it kept returning I eventually replaced the throttle body. This cured it for about 9k miles but the code's returned.
Love yor tips cyd, and followed a lot of them, particularly the solid mounts two pack compound. On the pcv issue, it's not good for an engine to burn Oily crankcase gases As it lowers the octane rating of the fuel in the cylinder when burning,, Besides slowly building a residue. I know mfgrs do it to lower emissions as one of the reasons. For two months now on my petrol aero, I have been running the engine With bypassed pcv, and a catch can. The engine runs fine, with no starting issues, idling is probably better, The only noticeable drawback is Occasionally I get a slight whiff of Engine burn in the cabin. Other than that, no problems.
Ultimately a catch can is the best solution, provided the residue is properly disposed of (unlikely to happen in most cases). In any case, if the engine is in good condition, you shouldn't be getting much oiliness through the pcv.
I’m trying to bypass the ignition switch on my 06 Saab 9 3 Aero…I’m getting a “steering malfunction” message and I’m not paying out the ass for any new “modules”. I’m going to have to take the ignition switch apart and disable the pin that locks the switch. I’ll still get power when I turn the key to the on position but it won’t start the car. I’m going to install a push button switch with an inline fuse and wire one end to the battery and the other to the starter relay in the fuse box. I hope this works because it is a pain in the ass to take the center console apart…Any knowledgable suggestions would be appreciated! Leave a Reply
Hi Cyd, on some forums people say that it is safe to block inlet pcv hole( saab, cobalt forums), it stops oil getting in manifold and loosing oil and boost... Adding oil catch can on turbo side baffle helps too. Do you think it is safe to do that?
@@CycloneCyd hi cyd, can you expand a little on your reply. I understand that pcv systems on cars were designed to reduce emissions and help the environment, But it is surely factual that combustion without octane lowering Oily and carbon heavy crankcase gases, would make a cleaner burning engine. A catch can fitted would safely remove what would have been burnt in the cylinders. Just interested on your take on that.
I remember the first time i did this was mhh a year and a half ago so i did everythin n its getting dark so i was tigthening the bolts on tge manifold n yes im done n i heard this sound and it cracked i was mhh nooo so i went to tge pick a part n notice how manifold watever the manifold is made of went from metal or alummninum to plastic like hard plastic so i reinstal the one from the pick a part n so far so good

hello, was wondering if it is possible to test the PCV in the SAAB b207 engine without removing the inlet manifold? if so what is the tool or process. ask as though I don't have the symptoms I had a nes PCV put in abot 45k ago as previous one failed and I had leaks in many places. since the replacement of the PCV I have had to replace the turbo as it was passing oil and there is no evidence of the PCV being replaced when turbo was replaced though oil was evident in the pipes to the inlet manifold
Engineering some type of oil catch can into this circuit would be great, I wonder if some type of simple filter element placed before the inlet/inlets? under the cam cover would reduce oil working its way into the inlet manifold?
A plastic valve with a rubber flappy thingy? Hell no!! No more of this nonsense!! I want a metal no "return"/"one way" valve with a metal flappy thingy and a calibrated spring. EDIT: and Viton inner seal.
YES, definately. However, most catch can installs I see (especially on turbo cars) are done wrong, sometimes allowing boost pressure into the crankcase. These are complicated by the valve being in the inlet mani. I'm gonna be having a replacement head fitted later this year, after that I'll do a catch can install with video.
