Saab 9-5 Fuel Filter Replacement
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In furthering my desperate and pointless attempt to cure my weird run condition, I change the fuel filter. A while after filming this video, I verified that it was what I had quietly suspected all along: the catalytic converter was clogged. Still, at least many parts got swapped for new along the way, so the Saab should be good for a while in many areas.
Also included is my usual rambling about what I'm doing and commenting on the turmoil that is car maintanence.

Well done making a 29 minutes long video of a 10 minutes job. Very helpful, though. Thanks for the effort :)

The rambling was entertaining.

Really? Thanks! You wouldn't believe how much nonsense I cut out of these videos 🤣 I talk way too much sometimes.
Did you get the catalytic converter replaced? I am currently having very similar issues to you and have (before watching your video) replaced many of the same parts...

Hi! I gutted the converter and it solved the problem, engine can breath now and power returned. I live in an area with no emissions checks so this doesn't effect me.

Can't remember how I explained it in the video, and it's been a while since I experienced the problem. The sudden drop in RPM related to the power loss while I was driving along, and more pronounced during acceleration. It would get to the point, especially after a long drive, where the engine could not climb in revolutions, as if the fuel was being limited (my original theory). But it was a clogged converter restricting flow so much that the engine could not move more air, so it would either stay the same or even drop somewhat.
Don't unscrew it under pressure. Do it properly, remove the fuel pump fuse with the engine running.
Do you know where the fuel filter is on a 2007 saab 9-3 2.0t ?

US spec cars have the filter inside the tank, built into the sender unit. Euro spec cars will have an inline filter attached to the fuel tank.

You installed it backwards. In fact the old one was backwards installed as well.

Sharp eye 👍you have but my beck arnley 043-0819 (made in china) fuel filter is also like his. The banjo bolts are different sizes (rear larger front smaller), so one can't really put it together the wrong way.

@@pcnepal I stand corrected, I bought the same filter and to my surprise it was "backwards" as well. Oh well I hope it filters.
