FOREWORD
This Service Manual has been compiled for the use of service workshop as an aid to
service and repair work which, we hope, will enable all concerned to do at thorough
and correct 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
workshops in the form of "Service Information" (SI). These should be filed in the
special binder "Service Information Saab 99".
The Service Manual is supplied in paperback edition with holes and should be inserted in the binder.
Like the Spare Parts Catalogue, the Service Manual is arranged in groups according
to the same system as used in the Repair Catalogue issued by the Swedish Automobile Servicing and Retailing Employer's Association.
Each group begins with a brief design description followed by detailed descriptions
of the service work relevant to that troup.
Technical data such as dimensions, tolerances, tightening torques, etc. are listed in
Group 0.

MODEL VARIANTS
CHASSIS AND ENGINE NUMBERS
Model 1975:
Saab 99, 99 L, 99 EMS and 99 L Combi Coupe
As from model 1976:
Saab 99 L, 99 GL, 99 EMS, 99 GL Combi Coupe and
99 GLE.
The illustrations below show the location of the chassis
and engine numbers. For positive identification of a car
or engine, these numbers and the odometer reading of
the car must always be quoted in connection with complaints and other correspondence. When a car is fitted
"'."ith a replacement engine, the number of the old engine
must always be die-stamped in the place provided for the
purpose. This is most important in order to avoid any
complications if the car in question is later taken abroad.
CHASSIS NUMBERS
The chassis number consists of eleven digits. The meaning of the digits is shown in the following example:
99

000 001
3 = Arlov
6 = Nystad (Finland)
