There isn't a rheostat - in the bulkhead (easily accessed from the engine bay under the plastic tray) is the fan motor with a plug in unit that contains resistance wires for each speed (no resistance for top speed), together with the thermal fuse. It would be possible to change the length of a resistance wire and thus alter the fan speed, if you could work out how much to chop off! For your convenience I've added a page to my site below (www.gaggia-espresso.com) - follow the Saab 9000 link for pictures of the resistor pack location. This may not apply to your vehicle as some 9000's have the fan control in an awkward location (in the dash, I believe?). -- Regards, Danny http://www.gaggia-espresso.com (a purely hobby site) http://www.dannyscoffee.com (UK advert for my mobile espresso service) swap Z for above characters in email address to reply
