Air Conditioning System WIS ?
Let's say you want to overhaul your AC system in your 9-5 (4 cyl 2003) complete with replacing your compressor, receiver / dryer, all O rings, lines & expansion valve.
Are there Saab WIS sections that cover this type of overhaul? Does anyone out there have the documents? Thanks2003 Saab 9-5 Aero B235R

No one has any WIS info about A/C repairs?

There is quite a list in the WIS. Let me know which ones you think you need and I can post the PDF files in the tutorial forum.

Thanks Wulf, Wow, that is quite a long list and clearly too much to post. I have a couple of mystery leaks, I believe one is near the compressor and the other is near the receiver / dryer. The professional techs were not able to trace my leaks last year during my $120 A/C service visit. I was considering doing something similar to this repair: FixMySaab: DIY Air Conditioning - Step 1 replacing the major components to the A/C system, the compressor, accumulator, high and low pressure lines, expansion valve, all O rings & I wouldn't mind learning more about the pressure sensor.. I think it's time to buy a new Mac with a larger hard drive so I can create a partition for PC stuff. Thanks

With these kind or repairs, it really is very convenient to have the WIS yourself. I have the WIS on my Macbook Pro running on Parallels / Windows XP and that works great. Most of the repair guides in the WIS also have links to other areas with more information and tutorials so that also makes it harder to work with printed copies.
You can also access the WIS online for a fee. Perhaps their online diagnostics can save a lot of time: http://saabworld.net/f15/online-saab...alog-tis-2649/

Thanks Wulf, In the meantime, until I can get my hands on a new computer, would it be possible to post the WIS for 4 or so A/C sections for the 4 cyl? Say....Compressor, high and low lines, receiver and expansion valve?
It's great that Saab WIS is online for a fee, but most used car owner just wouldn't be willing to put out $1500 for yearly access to WIS,..as great as it is. Thanks2003 Saab 9-5 Aero B235R

I have added them in this thread: http://saabworld.net/f29/index-tutor...aab-9-5-a-261/
It's under a new heading Heating and Ventilation.
