I check the saab WIS on the proceedure for removing the exhaust manifold on the 9-3 Viggen (which happens to be the same for all T7 equip cars 2.3 or 2.0L). The proceedure outlined is quite a bit more complex then that of the T5 cars. Can someone please confirm the steps outlined below are indeed needed....or can the manifold just be simply unbolted without having to go thru each and every step below:


Dismantling - Exhaust Manifold
Dismantling - Exhaust Manifold
===========

1. Open the expansion tank's filler cap to release system pressure.

2. Raise the car.

3. Drain the coolant by connecting a hose, opening the drain plug and collecting the coolant in a suitable receptacle.

4. Slacken the bolt securing the turbocharger mounting to the cylinder block.

5. Undo the upper bolt on the turbo's mounting.

6. Detach the coolant pipe from the turbocharger.

7. Detach the turbo's return hose to the sump.

8. Remove the turbo's oil pipe to the oil filter adapter, collect the oil in a receptacle.

9. Undo the lower nut on the joint between the turbocharger and the front exhaust pipe.

10. Lower the car to the floor.

11. Remove the bypass pipe with valve. Collect the O-ring at the connection to the turbo's intake pipe.
Bend the bypass pipe aside.

12. Remove the exhaust manifold's heat shield.

13. Unplug the solenoid valve's connector.

14. Remove the connecting hose between the mass air flow sensor and the turbo's intake pipe.

15. Detach the crankcase ventilation pipe secured to the turbo's intake pipe and the camshaft cover. Bent the pipe aside.

16. Detach the solenoid valve hoses, noting their positions.

17. Remove the engine's lifting eye.

18. Remove the turbo's intake pipe from the turbocharger, V-clamp.

19. Plug the turbo's inlet opening.

20. Undo the 2 upper nuts between the turbocharger and front exhaust pipe.

21. Carefully move the front exhaust pipe out of the way.

22. Remove the turbo's coolant return pipe from the cylinder head and pressure sensor mounting.

23. Remove the wastegate from the turbo, 2 bolts.

24. Undo the nuts securing the turbocharger to the exhaust manifold and slightly lower the turbocharger.

25. Relieve the multigroove V-belt of tension, using a flexible handle. Lock the belt tensioner with a 3 mm drill bit or the like.

26. Prise the belt off the power steering pump's pulley.

27. Remove the through bolts securing the pump to the bracket.

28. Swing the pump up and remove the lower bolt and the 2 upper bolts.

29. Carefully lift aside the power steering pump, complete with bracket, and secure it with a cable tie or the like.

30. Remove the exhaust manifold.
