  1. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I found a 2007 saab 9-3aero(2.8 v6) for $2000usd with 200k miles. Is this too high of mileage and will it just become a money pit? I’ve seen posts about these burning coilpacks, overheating etc. I can do the maintenance my self. Is there anything to worry about other than that especially with...
  2. Part number requests
    Hi, does anyone know the part number for a 2001 Saab 9-3 converible boot lock - the bit the key fits, not the other one. I've been told by a few places that the Vauxhall Vectra may have used the same part and they're probably easier to get than the saab bits.Thanks in advance.

    The time has come for me to finally sell my Saab convertible after 14 years and 160,000 miles. It's been a wonderful car but now it needs some basic repairs or needs to be parted out. THE GOOD: The car's exterior is in mint condition without a speck of rust on any body panel. The interior is...

    Hey everybody! I’m in the process of retrofitting an NG 9-5 wheel into my NG 9-3. I have a good amount of it figured out, including the positions of resistors on the NG 9-5 wheel. I am struggling to decipher which resistors belong to which buttons on an NG 9-3 circuit board though. Is there...

    This is a scary one. Our car has a mind of its own. When we park the car and walk away the door locks activate, the windows go down and the soft top goes down. This happens every time I remove the key from the console. Sometimes it takes a little longer. We will go inside and come back out later...

    I have recently installed LED bulbs into my headlights and the work absolutely fine. However, my 2007 9-3 Convertible is convinced they don't work and keeps giving me a failure message. Any tips out there? Thank you!!

    Hi there SAAB Fanatics, Bought a 2002 SAAB 9-3 Convertibubble with 146,000 miles on the clock July last year for a mere £800. An absolute bargain I thought. Oh how wrong was I.

    Recently I picked up my second 9-3 aero SportiCombi after a lovely failure of the Automatic Transmission in the one I already had. One thing I noticed immediately in comparison to the same year same trim same model 9-3 was that the steering was very stiff in comparison. I cant think of what it...

    I have the full kit with all the wires and fibre optic cables. I am needing help understanding how to connect the fibre optics so that it forms a loop. The instructions supplied with the original kit are not very clear. Here's what I did: I removed the left rear side panel to expose the...

    I have just bought my first Saab 2008 Aero 1.9 Diesel. I don't have the Satnav edition and don't have the 7-speaker set up. However it seems that the previous owner has blown both the speakers in the door as I can't seem to have any bass on them without them sounding awful. I have been trying...

    Im new to this site but perhaps someone can tell me what my next step is: I had a blower motor issue a month ago, it suddenly was stuck on "high" speed, even when car was turned off. I pulled the fuse, found many forums explaining this was likely the resistor being bad. So this week I bought a...
