Saab V4 User manual

FOREWORD
This Service Manual has been
compiled
for
the
use
of
service shops as an aid
to
ser-
vice
and
repair
work
which, we
hope,
will enable all
concerned
to
do
a
thorough
and
successful
job.
The
recommendations
and
directions
contained
in
this
Manual are
based
on
experience
gained
up
to
date. As fresh
experience
becomes
available,
the
relevant
information
will be passed
on
to
Saab general agents
and
authorized
service
shops
in
the
form
of
"Service
Informations"
(SI). Service
Informations
should be
filed in a special binder.
Altered
and
new pages
for
the
loose leaf
edition
of
the
Service Manual will also be
sent
to
General Agents,
authorized
service shops,
and
others
on
our
mailing list.
Note!
At
reprints
of
the
manual
only
altered
pages
become
new dates. This
means
that
different
dates
occur
in
the
manual,
but
all pages
are
up-to-date.
Like
the
Spare
Parts Catalogue,
the
Service Manual
is
arranged in sections according
to
the
same
system
as used in
the
Repair Catalogue issued by
the
Swedish
Automo-
bile Servicing
and
Retailing
Employers'
Association.
Each
section
begins
with
a brief design
description
followed
by
detailed descriptions
of
the
service
work
relevant
to
that
section.
Technical
data
such as dimensions, tolerances,
tightening
torques,
etc.
are
listed
in

The
illustrations
below
show
the
locations
of
the
chassis
and
engine
numbers.
To
ensure
correct
identification
in
the
case
of
a
particular
car
or
engine,
these
numbers,
together
with
the
mileage,
must
always
be
quoted
in
warranty
claims,
etc.
If
a
service
engine
is
fitted
in a
car,
the
number
of
the
original
engine
must,
without
fail,
be
stamped
in
the
appropriate
place.
This
is
of
the
utmost
importance
if
customs
difficulties
are
to
be
avoided
in
the
event
that
the
car
is
subsequently
used in a
country
other
than
that
of
registration.
