On local sites, it is available here in the US. The book info is: Saab 900 16 Valve Service Manual : 1985-1993/Including All Turbo Spg, and All Convertible (Saab Part No. P/N 02 16 861) by Robert Bentley Usually ships promptly. Paperback - 622 pages (December 1994) Robert Bentley; ISBN: 0837603137 May be available in Deutsch, but I do not know. > > > to retrofit the car from R12 to R134 is a job.

SO much so that the conversion to R134A (better for environment, but not quite as good in a system designed for R12). Price a diagnostic first and see what is wrong. Generally, what goes wrong is the manifold/hose assembly leaks at a joint and leaks the freon out. The hose is fairly expensive. The other failure is that the front seal of the compressor fails and leaks the freon out. If there is oil residue on the aft lip of the hood (right above the A/C pulley when closed), it may be a compressor leak. If there is any oil weeping out of the front main oil seal (lower pulley), it may be difficult to tell if the compressor is leaking. > > > hey, ich wohne jetzt in leverkusen :) > > I wohnte direct gegenueber der Marktplatz in der Innenstadt.
