Saab 9 5 - Video tutorial

Model: Saab 9 5 MK 1, Ys3e - Years 1997-2010
Part: Timing belt
Operation: Removing and replacing the timing belt

This video shows us how to remove and replace the timing belt in our car. First, we remove all the plastic coverings that hinder the belt removal work and lift the machine with the help of a bridge to work on it better. Then we unscrew the pulley that stretches the belt and proceed to remove the belt itself, paying close attention to the position of the other pulleys. Then we remove the water pump and install a new one anchoring it with the gasket paste, after having mounted the new belt we install a new belt tensioner pulley.
