Disassembly and replacement of the petrol filter

Model: Saab 9 5 Ys3e, MK 1 - Years 1997-2010
Part: Petrol filter

The fuel filter is a component that must be replaced regularly. To proceed with this operation it is necessary to wear protective goggles and rubber gloves. The tools needed are: new replacement filter hose clamps, screwdriver, ratchet wrench and wire cutters. The first operation consists in removing the fuse relating to the fuel pump in order to cut off the current during the replacement work and open the tank cap. Lift the machine and secure it and then locate the filter. Place a plastic sheet in the work area to catch any gasoline that may spill. The filter is fixed with a front and a rear bracket that must be removed to allow you to remove the hose clamps that lock it to the supply hose. Once the clamps have been removed, remove the filter allowing the petrol to flow into a basin. Install the new filter paying attention to the flow direction indicated by an arrow on the filter itself.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
