Thanks, Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Tue, 24 May 2016 08:58:52 In Reply to: Re: So....if the 9-5 fuel pump includes the level sensor, SWEDECAR [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 24 May 2016 07:48:41 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I picked-up my car last night after hours because of personal schedule conflicts so I couldn't talk to any of the Mechanics. The pump replacement could not completed on Friday as planned because the correctly labeled Saab Parts Box contained the wrong model of pump!
The labor ticket and invoice had the pump listed as the only part replaced. I verified on-line that the pump did indeed contain the float sensor - which was the original problem - so I was relieved to see that. But I couldn't find any PN for just the level sensor on the usual list of parts suppliers, including those that use Orio parts diagrams and descriptions.
Now the wife's 9-3 is having the same problem (Kroger brand gasoline?). We will get that fixed in a few weeks after her school job is done until Fall. That level sensor is listed as a separate part for her car, and at a reasonable price.
An eight year old 9-5 with 132K miles, a ten year old 9-3 with 73K miles, and both have been almost exclusively buring a particular brand of inexpensive gasoline for the three years prior to fuel level sensor failure. Coincidence, or just a fluke?
