Re: My car "surges" at 60mpg
I read through the posts on this and didn't find that anyone cured the problem. Any more information out there on this issue? I was having an erratic throttle response when the engine was cold and just starting out and thought the two might be related. Cleaning the throttle body cured that the ...

Re: More Surge/Hesitation Diagnosis-2001 S60 T5
I'm here a year later with exactly the same slow acceleration surge you describe. Recent purchase of an 2001 S80T6 which I've been getting back in shape and love! I'm thinking it's the airflow sensor but haven't cleaned it yet. Did either of you get anywhere on that? I figure it's not electronic or ...

Re: Thermostat Bleeder?
Searched at length and evidently it is a bleeder like I suspected. Posts were from March of 11. Anyone have any more info on this? Can't feature why the part isn't shown in the diagrams. Something from a later year? And where should this hose have exited from the timing belt cover?

Thermostat Bleeder?
After several decades of Saab 900 Turbos (mostly SPGs) I moved into this century with a 2001 S80 T6. All new to me. Fixed several issues with it since buying it but ran into something confusing. Had a coolant leak and pulled the timing cover to figure out the source. Found a cobbed plastic L poorly ...
