  1. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    HI folks! My 1992 9000 CD is no longer able to pass the UK MOT due to excessive corrosion around the rear wheelbases. The car runs well, however, there are a couple of issues that need to be addressed in addition to the bodywork welding. The car could be used for parts (quite a few new parts...

    I have a 1998 SAAB 9-5, petrol, sedan. It has a crack on top of the petrol tank. I tried to fix it with some petrol tank plastic filler. But it didn't last long. My mechanic here has a tank from a 95 '06. So can he put that on my old car? Some people say yes, and some say no. So I am a bit...

    Hi Crew, Terrific forum you have here, lots of good info with expert help! :) The Saab in question is a 2008 9-3 linear 1.9TID manual convertible. I don't actually own the car, it belongs to a friend. Lots of power from a small 4 cyl diesel! UHP common rail is certainly the only way to go!! :)...

    How often do they really need replacing ?..... I changed mine today ..... Ohh my .... The goop that came outta the pre-filtered end was "Per-Verse"...... Looking at the canister it appeared original ..... I had to bash it outta its mounting with a regular sized mallet ....... Either way ...
  10. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Guys, When preparing the Cabrio I'm stripping I decided to drain out any remaining petrol in the tank before I have the remains taken to a scrapper. In the past I have done this by accessing the top of the tank, breaking into the petrol line with a tube to a container and wiring the pump...
  11. Part number requests
    I have a 2000, 9-3 2L SE petrol turbo Saab and I think it needs a new turbo. So a part number for the turbo would be appreciated, please. My other half thinks he may be able to fix my car! :thumbsup:
  12. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I found this pipe (no 2 in the photo) and wondered where it is supposed to be attached to, if at all. The other end is attached at no 1 and at No 3 it looks like there should be a pipe going into it. I'm sorry to be so vague but I'm not very familiar with the layout of this car (far more...
  13. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hello, A few days ago our 3 year old daughter was carrying out her usual 'Preventative Maintenance Review' of Mummy's car, when she discovered that the Petrol Flap no longer locked. Having passed her fault report onto our Service Department (me),I whipped the lining out of the boot and removed...
  14. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Guys, Recently bought a 'destined for scrap' '02 reg 9-5 Aero saloon thinking it was worth saving. For a start, it wouldn't ! so Mrs P@ K and I towed it home. First off fitted a spare DI cassette and she fired up straight away. Cracked it ! I thought. Didn't run too sweetly and was a...

    Hi all, Help please? I have a 9-5 2.0t Vector Estate 2001, I love the car and do 400 miles a week commuting as well as it swallowing my gear for my band at weekends easily. However my engine has died (sounds like a bag of spanners being dropped on to a tin roof!). My mechanic is going to do an...
  18. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I have owned a 9-5 vector sport since 2009. I have maintained it regardless of cost. MOT is due soon. But not sure if I should trade up before major work is needed. It has a slight oil leak by crankcase, and can give an occasional puff of blue smoke on start up. Car runs very well and does not...

  20. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    When I try to lock my 1995 9000, with the remote or the key, central locking may or may not work - on all doors. The petrol cap lock works every time, the indicators flash, horn beeps, immobiliser immobiises. Just the locks don't move. They may grunt a bit. Next time they can snap shut or...
