Rating:  Summary: This book rocks Review: The bentley books are by far the best shop manuals available. They are the most comprehensive and even though they are three times as much as other manuals, they are the best value.Bentley ROCKS!
Rating:  Summary: Brilliant Review: This book contains everything you need to know about your Saab. However, it doesn't cover the inner construction of the transmission so it will only help you with it as a whole. Other than that, it is filled to the brim with technical data from the different years, as well as, wiring diagrams and trouble shooting guides. Not to mention countless other procedures and contstruction diagrams. Truly an indespensible aide for the true Saab enthusiast.
Rating:  Summary: the good book Review: This book managed to teach me a great deal about my car that I was clueless on before. I highly recommend this book to anyone, from the beginner looking to understand how their car works to an intermediate grease monkey like myself. The book is lacking a couple key areas, though. One is the drawings. The sketch drawings of a certain items/views are not very useful for identifying things (if you're just trying to get the lay of the land under the hood, the Bentley is little help when it comes to smaller components). These desperately need to be upgraded to photos, color, if possible. There's not a whole lot on the vacuum system except a schematic, ditto for a portion of the electrical system and also the A/C/vent system. Some suggestions to improve the book: a complete breakdown of the car (seems some smaller items are left as an exercise for the reader, as was investigating a broken door latch on my 900), lots more photos, and COLOR! The pros far outweigh the cons, though, and coupled with a good online help community like the Saab Network bulletin boards, there's very little you can't repair on your own with this book. A must have for anyone who wants to keep their 900's running.
Rating:  Summary: An Essential Help Review: This is a great book for working on the 16 valve engine. It covers more of the nitty gritty stuff that you need when working on the more advanced Saab engine. The turbo section is great. The only complaint I have is that the book is not more specific about the differences in the engine configurations from one year to the next. But if you need wiring diagrams or schematics this is the book for you.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent- Good descriptions, excellent photos Review: This manual is considerably better than the Haynes manual... and forget the Chilton. The quality of the binding, the quality of the photos/drawings, and the text descriptions are all better than the competition. If you want a manual for your SAAB, this is the one
