4.0 out of 5 stars A fine introduction for reparing a Saab 9000., 28 Jun 2001
By W. Kienzle "wkienzle" (Bartlett, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Saab 9000 (4-Cyl) Service and Repair Manual (Haynes Service and Repair Manuals) (Hardcover)
As is typical with many auto repair manuals, only the primary systems are covered, sometimes leaving me wanting more detail. Items covered: Standard Maintence; Engine Removal and overhaul; Engine Cooling; Ventalation Systems (but no information on troubleshooting the ACC system); Fuel and Exhaust systems; Emissions systems; Electrical and Ignition systems; Automatic and Manual transmissions; Brakes and Suspension; Bodywork; and Wiring Diagrams

5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful manual that covers most of the 9000 well, 27 Sep 2005
This review is from: Saab 9000 (4-cylinder) Service and Repair Manual (Haynes Service and Repair Manuals) (Hardcover)
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 www.saab9000.com 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Swedish translation is the Ultimate Frustration ! Worst book, 29 April 2003
By GuBe2 (Stockholm , Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saab 9000 (4-Cyl) Service and Repair Manual (Haynes Service and Repair Manuals) (Hardcover)
-
Swedish translation is the Ultimate Frustration !
Worst book EVER to be encountered !

The SAAB 9000 is a fairly complicated piece of machinery , thus terminology becomes crucial in a book w this intent !!
I know english pretty well , and , as a dedicated home mechanic I know quite a bit about the different systems in cars
( like hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and mechanical ) and their terminology - but this book (Swedish) just simply confuses you !
It's extrordinarly lousy !! In fact , it's unvbelievably hard to grasp and utterly bewildering !
I've read numerous technical books and numerous car- and engine-related books and articles , but
this one stands out as one of the few - if not the only one - that actually makes you MORE confused AFTER reading it than you were before .

>>I'm not out to hang somebody , I just know I'm right here .<<

Translation obviously done with dictionary in one hand and nail polish in the other !!!
Many items referred to just DOES NOT EXIST !!! There are no such "thingie" ! So you have to GUESS what it's supposed to refer to -
the english original would be a LOT easyer , but the overall structure of the book still leaves a lot to be wished for .
Pics are neither very helpful , nor sufficient . Electrical wiring diagrams are a pain to read & interpret .
This is the worst technical publication I've come across in my 50 years .

Sorry ! If I could rate it a "zero" star , I would .

>>Still , I'd like to mention that the Hayne's manual for the Volvo 240-series is absolute top class ! VERY good indeed !<<

Sadly , the Hayne's 9000 manual isn't even on the map .
I could have done it better myself - not to mention the translation . . .
Rating : save your money ! DO NOT buy this book !
