How much coolant does a Saab 9-5 need?
At least, that was the case with my 2004 9-5 2.3T. Other engines may be different so measure and do your own calculations. After a full drain, there is still 2.1 liters of distilled water left in the engine. The recommended mix of coolant/water is 50/50. 7.4 divided by 2 is 3.7 liters of coolant needed.
How do you fill and flush a Saab 9-5?
Open the cap on the expansion tank and release the pressure. 2. Raise the car. 3. Remove the lower front cover. 4. Open the drain cock on the radiator and drain off the coolant. 5. Close the drain cock. 6. Lower the car to the floor. 7. Switch off the A/C or ACC. Fill with coolant to the MAX level.
How long does it take for coolant to drain from a Saab?
It may take 10 – 15 minutes to drain completely. Close the petcock when empty. The coolant system holds 7.4 liters and I was able to only get 5.3 liters out so it is not possible to drain all the coolant from the system. 6. Fill engine with distilled water by pouring it in the expansion tank to the Cold marking on the tank.
Is there a way to flush a Saab radiator?
Saab does not provide any flushing instructions in the WIS. That’s cheating if your radiator has such an easy drain cock! The one on my NG900 was old and brittle and broke when I tried to open it. Fortunately it broke on the closed position, which is not bad.
How much does it cost to change the coolant on a 9-5?
Changing and flushing the coolant system is one of those things that are easy to do and pay off in the long run! The green petcock on the 9-5 is a $11 part (5333471) so an inexpensive replacement. Still inconvenient when you break it and is left in the open position.

What should the temp of the coolant sensor be?
Check that the temperature value of the CTS is around 80-90c when the engine is hot. A lot of engine coolant temperature sensors have two wires and the sensor is controlled by Ohm. Get a wiring diagram and find out what ohms you should have at a specific temperature to check the function.
