Mike see if you can find the Townsend site (not always up it seems),
there is a diagram of the cruise pipe layout on there. that pipe should
be part of a T piece that goes to there, and some where else (on mine)
Might be EGR related not sure).

The Townsend site lists all the Cruise pipe work inside the inner wing,
on the left hand side. makes sense when you can see the diagram.

Wish my cruise fault was as simple.

Sucking on the hose brings up throttle speed.
Pulling the small chain under the dash raises throttle speed.
Switching on cruise and hitting set makes a nice solenoid/switch type
click under the dash, but it won't hold at a speed.

I've adjusted the brake and clutch switches to make sure that they are
fully engaged.
I've replaced all the udner dash hosing I can get to, and all the under
bonnet hoses except some some pieces on the cruise unit itself. Guess
they are next.

Ah, my cruise control works intermittently, and hitting "set" makes the nice
clicking sound only when it's working. So I suspect the switch in my case,
which I will be investigating as time permits. Now that I've finally figured
out how to get the lower dash off

Hi Carl,

I can't be arsed with fixing the cruise, it's just too much hassle for the
use I'd get out of it. I was more concerned that I'd inadvertantly pulled
off or cut a hose I shouldn't have when I found it lying there! Everything
else vac related apart from the cruise works OK, so I really don't want to
take the risk of upsetting something when I take the dash off... :-)

If you know where I can find a diagram of the under-bonnet vac hoses it
would be great. I *think* I've found them all now..:-)

So far I've had the car about 4 months. In that time, it's had a new rad,
new thermostat, balljoints, pads and discs as well as a set of clear
indicators and side repeaters and a forge recirc dump valve. It's already a
different car to the one I bought, it's so much better to drive now all the
hose and the DV have been replaced. It'll be even better when the tweaked
APC that Mr Matt Faulks kindly sent me today (Thanks Matt!!), the 3 bar FPR
and the #30 Injectors I just ordered from the states. :-))) Can't wait!!
Anyone up for a track day next year? :-) I'll travel anywhere in the UK

Thanks for the advice re vac hose, but I'll leave it for now

Merry Xmas!

All the cruise electrics are under the dash, but there is some gubbins
in the inner wing behind the indicator/side light, probably next to the
APC if yours is a later T16 (my APC is below the back seat) I think that
is where your mystery hose should connect to. If you aren't connecting
it, I reckon it should be plugged off at least.

 

Again the Townsend site, or Saabcentral.com may be able to help.
 

I've left the clear indicators for now, but they are planned.
A need a wheel bearing doing soon in the new year, plus some welding to
the inner arch where they wedge up the wishbone.

I reckon either the front balljoints, or front bushes are showing signs
and will get checked.

And as well as getting some shocks I bought fitted, I'm going to get
rear suspension and radius arm/panhard rods bushes checked out.

Got the MOT in March and want it spot on when it comes round. 

Same to you, have a good one.
