Saab 9000 (4-Cylinder) Service And Repair Manual 3rd Ed.

Description: This edition is the English version. I don't know why someone has reviewed the Swedish translation here since the shortcomings in that edition seem to be down to translation rather than the technical content.

The English version has served me well since I bought my first 9000 12 years ago and I'm still using my second copy (I wore the first one out). I have based many of the procedures on [...] on work done using Haynes as a guide.

The mechanical procedures are very good. Electrical information is not as accurate as it could be as Haynes tries to use one set of diagrams to cover all models and years but it is usable. Some of the more complex systems are glossed over but to be honest, most owners (including me) would take the car to be diganosed electronically when faced with, say, an ABS warning light as it's the easiest and most accurate way to diagnose the cause.

I'm happy with my Haynes manual which is just as well as it's the only DIY manual in print for the 9000.
