Hello,

I just bought a1994 9000turbo and have a little problem. I can't seem to find the part # for the hose that goes from the radiator to the transmission. I cahnged the radiator and accidentally nicked the hose open. I looked on a few web site's and couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Need more details please

Take a look at this piccie & let me know which number hose you need & I'll post the part no.

Only automatic transmission has hoses to the radiator. So I am going to guess yours is an automatic. There are two hoses to the radiator. Both are pressure hoses. These are for the transmission oil cooler. Which one is it? In any case it is going to be expensive.

Thanks for the replies... Yes, it is a auto. I know that it is a pressure hose, it is the one that goes in the bottom of the rad. As for the image, for some reason, I cannot view it properly. Can you also direct me to a good place to purchase such a part? Would it be ok to have the hose fixed by a tranny garage that would be able to fix high pressure hoses?? Also, I noted that the blower does not work... is this a common thing on the saab's. I am new to these cars. Used to own american cars and Volvo's. However, I love the look and feeling of this car so I bought it and want to brig it back to original specs to enjoy it for a few years!

Thanks again!

Looking at the parts list again - I posted the radiator picture instead of the auto transmission oil cooler. The part you need is 43 57 604 "hydraulic hose". This will be expensive at a Saab dealers, but it is quite likely that a local hydraulic hose supplier could make one up much cheaper. The hose has standard 'banjo' end fittings so they should be able to match it. I suggest that you take the hose out & ask them to make a copy. In the UK we have a number of construction industry suppliers who specialise in hydraulics - such as those used on the popular JCB range of excavators etc. Do you have "Yellow Pages" trade directories in your neck of the woods? Failing that a Google on hydraulic hose suppliers should turn up something.
(send me a private message with your email address & I'll send you the parts list & diagram - it's too big to post on the forum)

Here's a picture from a Canadian parts catalog for the oil cooler (but this isn't the radiator as you said). Is this the right one?

Sorry, the image isn't showing. I can email it if you want.
