Cooling/Heating Problem 9000 CE

Hello Axel.

First thing I would check change) is the thermostat! It costs around =8020,- And you can replace it yourself in 30 - 45 mins. if you're just a little handy. You can find out how, on the internet. Next thing would be changing the engine temp. sensor.

You say that you have a "check engine". When you turn the key in the ignition to "on" (without starting the car), the the "check engine" will start to flash after a few seconds. How many flasches do you count? OBS! Can be more than one flash-code. Maybe first 6 flashes, then 3 flashes, then again 6....

Hello,

it always flashes 4 times.

Hallo Axel.

4 flashes means "Coolant temperature sensor". So start by changing it. It's located in the top. In the middle, just under the inlet manifold (towards the cabin). But as the engine/water doesn't get hot, I would also suspect the thermostat...

What is a Saab 9000CE, how does it look like?

I believe that it is short for "CSE".... ;o))

Maybe a 9000CSE with one of the letters fallen off ;0)

Will you be participating in the Saab convoy, this Sunday, arranged by the British Saab Club?

I'm not member, so I didn't plan for that. I used to be member many years ago, but found that their activities were mainly in mid and north UK. These days my old 9000CSE is my daily workhorse 110km every day. Still in amazing good shape after 173,000 miles. Needs something fixed about once a year. This year new clutch kit and exhaust, that's all.

Well, don't need to be a member, to show support and participate. ;o)

Sorry, freudian slip, its an CS :-)
