the light around the on / off /volume is working ,as is the radio. The light that lights all the preset buttons is out. Is it east to get the front of the radio off and what bulb is in there?
Replaced my 21yr old escort with a 1.9 saab 9-5. I hope it is cheaper to run! So now we have 2 GM brands. I know there are people on this forum with excellant GM product knowledge and it is way more popular than the saab one. Can a saab expert pm me so i can ask about problems / cures. thanks
Hi all. Had the air con checked before we set off to Spain as it did not feel cold. The air was coming out of the vernts at 7c. It has seemed a bit eratic since. The engine revs go up when ac is turned on, Water under passenger side if stationary. and the whir of the compressor stopping when engine is turned off. Should the ac fan at the front be on permanently when ac on?
Had to change hbv as the old one was leaking badly. I still have a tiny leak as I can smell the coolant and the level is falling very slowly...may be a clip not seated properly. but at lñeast the loss is so slow it would get me home , but I shall have another look
changed HBV ( the Spanish parts guy did ask if I only wanted one) still got a tiny drip. AC not cold. No radio lights. No air flow under load. All on hol without tools. When I get back MUST get everything sorterd. Can you get Vac pipe kits or just new pipe ? Does half...Ds aircon recharge stuff work as i could buy something here in spain that is similar and get home with the windows up! Whoever posted about turning the heaters to hot to stop hbv leaks, a tip I remembered a big THANK YOU. Dave
my thanks to...elite pete for recent help and to the member who posted about the HBV not losing coolant when set to hot. It worked for me. Expansion tank emptied in a very short time on french m`-way. When set to hot no loss at all. Very uncomfortable the heater heating 35c air but I arrived at my destination only a few hours late. Dave
This ongoing vent airflow problem. I can now hear the hissing of the vacuum disappearing. Are the vac boxes a vx only part. Is the one at the front of the car the same as the one by the pollen filter. How easy is the one at the pollen filter to change? Dave
Mine is no longer illuminated. Has anyone got a cheap Philips sc804 that could be used to replace the broken one. Its the one that has the boot 6 pack cd which works fine. thanks Dave
