Car Forum / Saab Cars / July 2007Gas Tank Strap Failure - 1996 SAAB 9000 CS
Good Morning, Has anyone experienced the complete rustout/failure of the gas tank strap on the passenger side of the car ? Is this a common problem on North American SAAB 9000's ? Thank-you Any assistance would be appreciated > Good Morning, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thank-you > Any assistance would be appreciated It is common enough on a 11 year-old car. My 95 went through this last year. Just replace it. > Good Morning, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thank-you > Any assistance would be appreciated Both my MY92 AND MY97 9K have had the passenger side gas tank straps exchanged. This is claimed to be a standard failure according to my Saab mechanic. For some reason it is this strap and not the driver side strap that is rusting.

I can now see why the dealer wanted to replace both straps 14 or so months ago (at 400 USD on current exchange rates). Thanks Charles SignaturePlease remove _removeme_ to reply. >>> Good Morning, >>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Thanks > Charles I just bought the straps and replaced them myself, a fairly simple job. The cost of one strap was around 60 - 80 USD IIRC. Signatureth >I just bought the straps and replaced them myself, a fairly simple job. >The cost of one strap was around 60 - 80 USD IIRC. Do you have to drop the tank to do this job? still me skrev: >> I just bought the straps and replaced them myself, a fairly simple job. >> The cost of one strap was around 60 - 80 USD IIRC. > > Do you have to drop the tank to do this job? No you can do it with the tank in the car. I had one strap broken and the other was OK. First changed the broken one and then the other just for safety. It is a simle job. (Saab 9000 CSE 1996) /B Where is the best place to order the strap ? I am in Ontario, Canada. I will try and replace it myself. kr thesaabsite.com has them for $51.00 + shipping etc. > still me skrev: >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > /B
