the turbo bypass valve, far easier on the 9000. I have problems with the transmission fill plug as well. For the plug at the back of the case I use a socket and the spark plug tool from the SAAB tool kit. It's tight but I alway manage after a couple minutes....but my knuckles usually pay the price!
THe belts are real easy to access as well,,,BUT don't get me started on the wastegate actuator on the turbo,,,the SAAB master tech here curses to no end when he needs to do a base boost adjustment on the 9000.
I could rant for an hour on pulling the fuel rail in the 9K,,,,,but I'll digress...
I think there are many trade-offs in terms of ease of maintenance, both good and bad in different respects. One trade off I like (and power deamons like me will agree) is the huge front mounted intercooler.
