I just bought my daughter a 2002 9-5t. Thank you for the video, very helpful!

it's incredibly rare to find women interested in genuine classic cars - definitely not found anyone like this here in Australia. But being a Saab it's a proper classic.

Vinyl gloves are your friend. Also, eye protection while under the car while working with crusty stuff and liquids. Good job though. Respect. You are The Duchess.

YOU MADE IT LOOK PRETTY SIMPLE...NICE JOB. I AM REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP ON A SAAB 93 2000....GOOD IDEA TO R/R THAT FUEL FILTER .THANK YOU FOR YOUR TUTORIAL....!!!VERY NICE JOB!!!

Don't loose those banjo bolt washers very important

So I was wondering if you were worried about any sparking from the tools that might ignite the fuel vapor? I was taught to use brass tools for something like that because it wouldn't cause a spark.

As a women who does a lot of basic mechanical work on my older vehicles, I would've appreciated some steps shown, that were skipped, in the video. Things like; the tools needed and their sizes, safety issues, where the screw is that holds the strap in place, the placement of the two locking washers, on both ends of the fuel pump and last, how to tighten the fuel filter. I did my homework prior to watching the video but I still think if you want to put out a video on how to change a fuel filter you should include All the relevant information. That being said, I did appreciate the information the video did have.

Я восхищаюсь вами!

Amazing vedio

rock on Duchess!

Nice to see you're doing it yourself, but it looks like you forgot the washers on the filter side. Also, always check that there is no leak when the engine is running.

My Saab 9.3 aero going to garage on Monday morning as told if you break pipes may need new fuel pump Good video though !🌞👌

Good video :)

There are normally banjo bolt washers on either side of the banjo bolt fitting (2 on the inlet and 2 on the outlet of the fuel filter). The video looked like maybe the inner washers had been lost. This could be a safety issue as some point, if you get fuel (high pressure) spraying from you fuel filter. A quick check under there will tell you for sure. Cost of the washers are pennies. Great job BTW!

Thanks Mogman 150! The new filter came with the banjo bolt washers so I added them on each side. They did come with four, two copper and two aluminum (assuming). I only used one on each side, should I have used both?

@Mogman150

Duchess DIY The banjo fitting is sandwiched between the washers (one on both sides of the fitting). The washer is what is doing the sealing. Does this make sense?

Such a beautifull Lady, nice to see from a woman how to service a car.

Are these Saabs reliable at higher mileages?Especially the diesels, I heard they use Vauxhall / Opel parts which puts me off getting one.

@shaun3937

anything past about 2001 uses parts shared with vauxhall but from my experience saabs are much more reliable and better build quality, especially the 95. Engines can do +200k if properly serviced

Saab is really built well. Hope yours lasts.

2 Thumps up nice job

Thanks. Nice work. Much better than the Haynes book. But please use gloves... :-)

good girl.i have too saab9.3,i like thes cars,

duchess do you speek russia?

when going to start the car again, you may want to turn the ignition on but wait a few seconds before engaging the starter to allow the fuel system to build pressure back up

I remember when I did my '94 Camaro's fuel filter I ended up with gas all over the one side of my body at some point, heh. Wasn't too bad though. Glad I quit smoking before then.

I reco0mmend you to use new copper rings on both sides of the banjo bolts of the filter, otherwise it will leak..regards. Charles

I wisch my girlfriend could do that for me ;)

That setup with a block doesn't look very safe though. If you're going to do more work under the car I'd suggest getting at least a slightly safer solution. Cars are heavy and will crush you, it's quite a common accident. Especially when working alone safety is very important.

Wow well over due by the look of it, should give you better mpg.

It has improved my mpg!

With only 150k miles it can still go quite a bit longer. Most Saabs will run to close to 250k miles (400k km) without much trouble, if properly maintained. I'm on my fourth Saab and all have reached at least 350k km (=220k miles). Most are done in by rust to the body work, not mechanical failure.

If you are replacing the fuel pump make sure to buy the tool for the ring and prepare the opening by placing plastic on the carpet and duct tape around the hole this helps prevent gas on the carpet. As long as you align the pump correctly you will have no issues like I did. I have 240k on my 9-5 and I will keep it for another 240k. Post your video on changing the fuel pump. Keep SAAB alive. You are an excellent narrator and editor keep up the great work!!!
