Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located in the engine compartment, on the passenger side. Open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported. Remove the seal along the edge of the scuttle panel, just below the windscreen, lift the plastic cover and access the cabin air filter. Release the retaining tab of the filter and pull it out of its housing. Insert the new filter, ensuring it is oriented in the direction of airflow, and reattach the retaining tab. Finally, reposition the plastic cover and the seal that were previously removed.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
