Was at the point of getting rid of my Saab 93, the condensation was horrendous on occasion, was undriveable without copious amounts of rags to absorb, everything you said in this vlog was absolutely bang on, the scuttle cavity was absolutely full of dirt, blocked the water drain point outlet, cleaned, resealed and a few days later when the car had dried out it's been brilliant! happy days, thank you, saved me a few quid there and fallen back in love with my 93

I spent months putting out a towel to catch the water ingress, bought rubber mats to avoid the carpet mold smell, bought a half car cover - which I now use religiously now, also to prevent sun damage.... Then I see your videos and realise the two issues have also caused the fan to stop working... Thanks again - TOP KZitemr!

Thank you SO much for this fantastic tutorial. I’ve had my 2005 9-3 from new but last winter was the first time I had a pond in the footwell, having now seen the contents of the drain gulley, I think I’ve been very lucky: 18 years worth of leaves had turned into a lovely compost and completely blocked it. All clear now with a new foam gasket replacing the one that had almost completely perished, my next job is to follow your other tutorial and lift the carpet to dry everything out. Thanks again 😊

No foam filter anywhere Just a dirty outline of where it once lived..... Air intake chute for motor Soaking and dirty.... Front passenger footwell 2 inches deep in water Windows internally misted...

Perfect video and everything needed to know to keep the dreaded water out. Even if it's not leaking I think it's best to do it, because sooner or later with the age of the 9-3 it will leak. And it's the perfect time and weather at the moment. I've just finished doing this job, my tips- use a old credit card type scraper to get the worst off, finish the rest off with lighter fluid on a cloth ( easy work) I used double sided glazing foam tape 12mm x 4mm, adhesive on both sides. Must be at least 4mm thick as the filter housing is slightly recessed. (4mm is ideal) With the same fitting procedure as Cyd. ( Good tip - keep the final join at the bottom of the filter housing) Do a few practice fittings before taking the outer tape off to do the final fit. Once that foam tape as touched down it will be for life believe me. No need for any silicone with double sided quality glazing tape. Cheers.

Thanks Shawshank, yes I'd agree that every 9-3 owner should look at this on heir car. The newest 9-3s are 10 years old now and that OE foam is poor. I used a sharp wood chisel and some brake cleaner. It comes off easy enough, so whatever is to hand. The silicon is belt and braces really, but it's impossible to know what kind of foam people around the world will be able to get, so it helps to be sure of a seal that will last.

Everything on the dash, radio screen and break light on roof shuts off at the same time for around 3 seconds then turns back on, sometimes it'll do it back to back the hole time I'm driving or it'll do it once or twice and stops. And another thing, oil is leaking onto the turbo, do you have a guess where it could be leaking from? I appreciate you responding and you're video's, only ones that really explain everything step by step

Hello. I have a water leak into the trunk on the left side. It's a bit strange because I have a wet rear seat opening lever. Where does it come from?

What if it is not only in the front but als on the backfloor and not only on one site, and only occuring during the rains?

I'd suggest checking the door seals themselves. If not that, check the door shedders - remove the door casings and check the shedders are properly sealed to the door panels.

I Just did the procedure you perfectly expose on this video, so thankful for your amazing help, have a question: behind the passengers seat is also floated , and I mean 1/2 inch over the carpet, I inspected some other areas on the car of potential liking , is it possible that all this water came from also from the fan vent? Thank you in advance, amazing vids you are producing, I'll be checking one by one! Arthur

First priority is to dry it out properly. See here kzitem.info/news/bejne/t3uGr6l6qJ99jH4 Yes it could be, but I'd also suspect the rear door shedder. Has that door casing ever been off?

Hi, have you had the coolant loss from the yellow cap problem yet? I replaced the cap but it still looses coolant. Thanks ! I will do this as rain isnt a problem where i am but everytime i was the car i have this problem. I put a bandage on it with some wd40 on the motor but i really need to fix it properly.

@@CycloneCyd the coolant expansion tank cap, you have the overflow and pressure release mechanism, but mine seems to release all the time therefore creating a pink crust from the coolant leaking arount the expansion tank. Ive bought a new expansion tank as replacing the cap didnt work for me :( My saab needs a lot of tlc but im buying all the parts so i can fix it. It has a leaking windshield washer bottle, coolant leak from tank, cabin filter housing water leak, causing the ac blower to short/not work, i have an ac gas leak also, replaced the key because the fob was rotted, and bought a new fin for the aerial. Hopefully i can getvit fixed up soon when winter comes as summer time is just too Hot!

I followed your video and changed the gasket with a saab gasket used some silicone. We also cleaned out the drain and put it back in. We also replaced the windshield cowl. We got the car wet and its still getting wet inside right by the console. so frustrated any ideas?

When you refit the filter casing should the fit be tight? There’s a bit of play on mine and I’ve checked the clamps a few times but can’t see them get it tighter? Thanks in advance
