Can Saab service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Saab drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Saab 9000, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Saab 9000 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a 9000’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 9000’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your 9000’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 9000's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your 9000.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my 9000?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 9000. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your 9000.

Does my 9000 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your 9000 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your 9000 forward.

All About 1987 Saab 9000 Drivetrain Service

Your 9000’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Saab, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1987 Saab 9000, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Saab's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
