Saab 9-3 Turbo X (V6) Spark Plug and Ignition Coil Replacement

I was thinking about replacing my 03 9-5 aero with a 9-3 aero 2.8t but I think this video made me realize I’m just going to buy a newer 9-5 now 😂😂

Can you do a transmission oil change video on this car please?

Mine has developed an intermittent missfire.
Standard tune.
Just running a cone filter. Even with the stock airbox it does it.
I have a new set of twin iridium plugs and new coils to put in.
Engines on 82 thousand miles.

Broked the brake vacuum pipe😒

I've got the 2.8 in my '06 Aero. I get a misfire with a 'ticking' noise coming from the rear cylinder bank when it's damp or raining out. No visual signs of arcing, but I'm assuming it's the coil packs. Any thoughts??

Very good job, definitely appreciate the step by step tutorial, feel a lot more confident now.

Great video.

Did you gap and torque? Or not show thst... I've seen issues over the littlest thing . I stopped using atisieze it seems like it makes so hare to get out. I put little oil and torque to HID spec. If issue check that. I wouldn't have thought but does mskev fifference. I put dielectric grease to

I'm having a misfire PO302. Should I just change Cylinder 2 spark plug and coil pack? And... Did you use Bosch coil packs or just aftermarket? Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much!!!!!!! I was on the right track, but your video showed me the way!🙏🏻GREATLY APPRECIATED!

What brand of coil packs did you put in the 4 cylinder Saab

Tremendous Instructional video with a great touch of humor! You Rock!

This was an EXCELLENT V-6 instructional video...precise & expedient to the point! Makes a FLAT RATE quote to perspective customers of ANY V-6 transversely mounted V-6 engines a great rationale. Sometimes just taking a little time to walk away & returning when something is extremely is extremely tedious & aggravating makes the task a satisfying success. Your attention to detail (PN, o rings, diellectric grease, & oil fill tube cover) with no short cuts was SUPER! Keep up the great work.

Great video but I’m wondering why you didn’t go with LFR7AIX plugs?

I have been recommended these for my V6 with a maptun stage 1.

Followed your video. Replaced only plugs. I've got it all back together. It starts then cuts itself off. SID says 'traction control loss' and 'reduced power'. Any idea what I've done to it?

Just finished doing plugs and coils on my 08 Aero. Could not have done it without your video! Great stuff

A very very important tip: NEVER, NEVER tighten the coil pack bolts too much. I did the spark plug torque at 15 ft/lbs (as you said in the video), and about 7-9 ft/lbs for the bolts. Then my first bolt was broken, and it's not possible for me to get it out now. :(

Hey mate great videos. Super helpful.

Thanks for the video non-related where is Bank one considered for the O2 sensor is it right by the turbo is that b1s1. B1s2 is closer to the firewall? And where is the bank 2 sensors located?

Brisk Silver ER15YS-9 1578, these are very strong for SAAB 2.8T Aero ✌️

Please may I ask the size of the O-rings on the two lines which go into the intake manifold? I want to have these in hand before I attempt the job as I only have one car.

What a great video. I did my 9-3 last night. This would have been much more difficult without your help. And I probably would have never found the 10mm under the ECU to release it.

I have a Automatic 2.8 V6 Turbo Signum, does anyone know what common issues they suffer with? I can't find anything online....

Thanks I thought I had to remove my intake manifold to do but I am glad this is not the case XD

I'd pulled it all apart, swapped out plugs and coils, everything was going ok. I did panic a little when I saw the MAP sensor wasn't connect to any hoses (it's to atmosphere) then I found out it was correct. But then I went to put the ECU in and it's symmetrical I didn't know which way was up?? Reviewed your video and installed it, dropped everything back in, fired it up. Great thank you!

thx bro for all of ur hard work the and the very helpful videos...MY question is what is the best brands of coils and spark plugs for saab 93 v6 2.8L 2010

First off, ty for your videos on Saabs.
I have a 2006 2.0 T 4 cylinder Saab, with the sunroof & heated seats. I would like to ask you two questions: my car drives fine. I noticed that sometimes, when I drive home and park the car, about 5 or 6 minutes later it sounds like the radiator is kicking on or venting it does this for about 30 seconds and then it shuts off I'm curious as to what that is, and if it's normal or not normal. I maybe half a qt a month. Can't find any leaks anywhere I did the gaskets and a tune-up nothing's dirty with oil there's no oil under my car I don't burn any white smoke. my fluids are fine, water breaks power steering all good.
#2. The gear shift handle kind of broke apart into pieces.. and the coverings on my buttons on the steering wheel on the right hand side that broke in four different pieces it just crumpled one day when I press the button I got it glued together and stuck back on but it still broken in like six places my second question to you is do you know where I can get another knob with the button for my stick shift or gear shift. I've watched the video how to turn the bottom of it counterclockwise the knob lifts out you put the new one in make sure it clicks pull that black pot up and twist it clockwise to lock it back into place however everywhere I go nobody can find me a new knob you seem to be the most knowledgeable person that I've seen out there who loves his subs like I do so I had to call and ask you don't mean to bother you with questions thank you for your time. God Bless Jerry

Hi I’m looking at your reservoir hoses, does the return line (hose with the letter R) go on the right or left ?
Thanks

Thanks for the helpful video. I would suggest removing the whole Brake Booster Vacuum hose assembly before mucking around too much while doing the back sets of plugs & coils. I really thought I was going to be able to do it without breaking the hose, but I still broke it anyway.

what is that vacuum line called that you took apart?

Hello nice video. I mounted 550 injectors on my car but from 1300 to 2500 rpm it mumbles all over, you can't fix it in any way. disassembled taken to a bosch center to have them checked and they say they are fine. is there something that escapes me?

Mine is getting better gas mileage too. Before the coils & plugs replacement I was getting about average 17Mpg. Now I get about average 22Mpg.

Don’t suppose anyone can get me a part number for the coil packs?

2.8t v6 2007 93 Aero saloon

Hey man, great video! I replaced the plugs and coils on my 07' aero v-6 about 2 year ago and still can feel the back pains 😆.

Hello have you got a video/link on replacing the glow plugs on a 1.9 9.3 tid

Thank you for this video. Just went through this process on my 08 with 120k miles. Job seemed impossible until I watched your video.

Thanks for the excellent video. I have to do my Opel Insignia OPC with is the same engine. Your video will save quite a bit of heartache. Cheers!

Hey buddy done the same on mine today.
And the O-rings crumbled away😂 any idea what those valve things are called that go in the back only the manifold

This video literally brought my car back to life. No one wanted to attempt to replace the coil on cylinder 1. I saw this and did it myself. The car runs like it did years ago.

Снимите видео про замену датчика давления масла на этом моторе.

Great vid as always. Where did you get that amazing oil-cap? Hope you have a great day 👍

What would be the best choice if I'm swapping the factory cold air intake?

Great video, best angles and descriptions saved me a bunch of time cheers

We can use Bosch ignition coils instead of the "Mitsubishi/ Saab"? Denso iridium plugs instead of NGKs? I am learning today. 😊

Love all your videos. Wouldn’t it be a shit ton easier to just take the manifold off

Scratching my head on weather to attempt this. Ps the 3 valves at the front 2 of the rubber boots have come off the coil pack any ideas how to get them out. Long nose plyers break the plastic. I’ve been told after service that new spark plugs and oil has been put in. But I reckon the mechanics have been fleecing me as the spark plug I removed was about 19 years old

Thank you Sir !

What size are those o rings?

Always interesting to watch these videos. I really don't know why they show the front three and how to remove them. I can't figure that part out. You don't really qualified to do the other three in the back!!

Update: the car seems to be 100% better! Hope this helps some of you out :)
