Saab 9 5 - Video tutorial

Model: Saab 9 5 MK 1, Ys3e - Years 1997-2010
Part: Valve
Operation: Valve guide rubbers replacement

When regenerating the cylinder head it is advisable, in addition to grinding the valve seats to eliminate the residues of encrustation and to ensure perfect hermetic sealing of the valves themselves, to replace the valve guide rubbers, i.e. the oil seals along the valve stem and which have the function of excluding oil leaks. Start by removing the valve thrust spring by compacting it with the appropriate arched clamp, extract the old rubber and insert the new one, lubricating it with clean oil; also lubricate the valve stem and re-apply the spring.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
