How often do they really need replacing ?..... I changed mine today ..... Ohh my .... The goop that came outta the pre-filtered end was "Per-Verse"...... Looking at the canister it appeared original ..... I had to bash it outta its mounting with a regular sized mallet ....... Either way ...

After writing a long post, which I accidently deleted, I'll try to do this again I searched every question before posting it, some of them I figured out, and some of the info I shared here. I have a 2003 Saab 9-3 sport sedan, Vector (175hp) with 285K km (nearly 180K miles) on it. I live in...

I need to update my AERO 9-5 crankcase ventilation as it's has the older type PCV on it, my question is can i just use crankcase filters instead as I dont like the idea of nasty dirty smelly oil being recirculated around the engine into the inlet manifold and cobra pipe, i mean whats the point...

Hi guys! As above, do b204 and b205 motors use the same oil filter? I am asking as the major oil filter company in Australia list a paper mesh type (like NG93's i think) instead of a spin on one. They list a spin on filter for the b204 which looks correct, but I want to make sure they are the...

Hi, Does anyone know if the oil and petrol filters are the same for a saab as they are for opel? I recently got the coolant bypass valve from opel and it works great! I am also going to do an oil change plus dropping the sump to clear out any crap in the filter... I have been told not to do an...

Has anyone bought a genuine Saab oil filter lately with a cheap and nasty lable on the box? Just wondered because I bought one on Ebay and there is no hologram with the word Original shown within it and of course no blue GM logo or address. Bit worried about picking up a fake after reading this...

Hi, I am just getting to grips with My 9-5 2.3 Auto Estate (170BHP) 115K and the upgrades recommened by you guys. have just changed the throttle body, and am going to do the full PCV hose change, as well as just having changed all the vacuums to silicone. Are k&N oil filters any good? you can...

Now the car has gone, I have 2 filters I bought for it £10 plus p&p

Just skirted a near disaster on my 95 but presumably applies to other models. During a long weekend in the recent hot weather and five up, the rear seat passengers were complaining about water on the mats. Long story cut short - blocked Pollen filter (not replaced for some time) leads to...

hi thinking for byeing a k&n air filter for my 2.2 125 hbp 2001 does any boddy know if yet are any good or not

Hi chaps I have two 9-5 air filters available if anyone is interested. One is brand new and the other just removed from my Saab and replaced with a Pipercross air filter. My mechanic informed me that the removed air filter was too good to condemn, so up for grabs. For collection only in...

As a new Saab owner, out of curiosity I decided to check the air filter and found an aftermarket version fitted. I'm not sure which brand it is, but it's blue. (jetex possibly?) Anyway my question is what is the best way to clean it? I noticed K&N have there own cleaning kits, containing a...

My 2002 Saab 9-3 5 door is approaching the 50,000 mile mark. What filters need to be replaced and how often? Fuel Filter, Cabin Filter, Power Steering Filter???

Two oil changes in a row and problems with the filters.No 1(Kienzle) on my son's Astra-filter screwed on easily but threaded though only hand tightened and I am not that strong!Number 2 (GM)on my 9000 screw thread too narrow by 1 mm approx measured diameter with calipers.Found alocal factors...

Hi guys, does anyone know the appropriate filter to use when spraying the likes of cellulose paint? Organic/inorganic?

i currently have fitted a jr 'performance' air filter and i keep getting different theories on how this should be fitted. should it be fitted into the standard air box or should it be open to the elements? i'm no mechanic but i thought if it were in the open it would be classed as an induction...

Just picking through my Maptun Stage 4 9k Aero spec and was wondering whether the 'open-air kit' with the cone filter will really make much difference. http://www.maptun.com/webshop/pics/910.jpg I already have a nice ITG filter with a 3.3" dia hole in the airbox and a large funnel untake...

I am used to adding a free flow air filter to most cars I own and as a result request peoples opinions on any that they are presently using. My previous car had a Pipercross Panel filter [they seem to remove particulates better], but apparently one cant get this for my 1998 93, 2.0 16v nonT. So...
