Saab 99 E

Frank,

you did not reply on bi-pole repair kit of AAV. Would appreciate to know.

Hi Volker,
Thanks for the tip on draining the MAP sensor.
I used a wooden skewer, used the blund end, and let the sensor with the valve open lean on the skewer fitted in a clamp. It works.

There was much oil in it. Could that have been the cause of the high CO ?

If I send you the sensor and the ECU could you check both parts and
if neccessary rehaul the parts ? If so, can you tell me what the costs will be ?

Regarding the AAV kit; I'm still searching where I got it from.
On fuelinjectionproducts.com you can buy a new element (expensive) but on my site you could really buy only the inner element and it was not expensive.
I'll search some more and let you know.

Kind regards,
Frank

Finally I found it.
www.aavpart.com
as you can see much cheaper then the 200$ the other site charges.
I don't know if they are still in business but you can try the email adres

Regards,
Frank

Hi Frank,

this is not the correct element. Additionally it misses the holder sealing, fitting. Forget it.

Hi Volker,

The element came with a complete discription how to mount it.
Unfortunately I think I ruined my element during the installation by using a gastorch
for the mounting so my fault.

Regarding the sensor and ECU; can you clearify what you mean with the digits ?
How can I check if it's an original 70's sensor ?

Kind regards,
Frank

And regarding the ECU; could you check the settings ?
Or is the Bosch Service the only company who can ?

Hi Frank,

this element is not the correct one. It has the same shape as the one I have once seen which did not have same temperature movements as the original. I cannot understand why they do not use the original thermostat. But it does not matter any more as you have destroyed your housing unfortunately.

Not only me but any Bosch Classic Service can verify your ECU. Ask a Bosch Service in your country. They should be able to send to Bosch Classic Koller & Schwemmer.
