Common problems and easy repairs on a 1996 900

The 1996 Saab 900 SE Turbo is relatively easy to maintain. The tail lights are accessible behind single covers in the trunk lining, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Monitoring the engine coolant won’t be a problem on account of the unobstructed access to the reservoir. The spare tire and jack kit are both easy to access and remove in the event you’ll need to service a flat.

However, the 1996 Saab 93 SE Turbo has a handful of challenging procedures. You will need to remove both of the front wiper blades, a large panel, and a portion of trim in the cowl for access to the cabin air filter, which won’t make for reliable changes. The fog lights may be problematic to access on account of the multiple panels and tight reaches you’ll need to make. The lower radiator hose will also be difficult to access from an awkward position.
