Bosch:
Posted by Sid Jacobson (more from Sid Jacobson) on Tue, 28 Dec 1999 12:59:20
Been in the same situation myself with some pretty exotic cars in isolated
areas. You've gotta be innovative.
If you don't have your laptop with you get to a library with internet
terminals. Call up the Bosch site and you can search for all their
components in your car. Curiously the number for the transistor ignition
control unit for you're car is different from the number you indicate.
Next, find a bosch representative in LV who has a bosch crossrefence
index. If they can't help, call Bosch directly and explain the situation.
This will give you all the cars which use the same component. Get as many
different car types/models/ years/ engine displacement etc. as you can
which will increase the probability of finding the part. It is unlikely
that Saab had bosch manufacture a unique part although anything is
possible. Armed with a number of more common cars/models/years which use
the same part, head for a good parts house or car dealer, if the Bosch
dealer is out.
I've found a number of Bosch components which are identical to saab's made
for fords etc which have same fit and function. Often at a much lower
price. Ie oxygen sensor for saab, $180, for ford $40. Both are identical
in fit and function.
Good luck
