    Hi Folks Been a while since I have posted - mainly because my 9000 CSE 2.3t has been performing brilliantly. But having racked up greater mileage over the last couple months, it looks like I need to get a bit of work done before its MOT at the end of the month - but more of that in...

    Can someone tell me for certain if the 2.3 LPT and FPT 9000's (NON AERO) use the T25 Turbo. Someone said they use a T3 fitment but i was under the impression it was a T25 and not a T3. Also if these models do use a T25 what is the normal A/R figure on both the exhaust housing and the outlet...
  7. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    This is a little bit off line for this forum but still the correct place to get the right answer. As well as my 96 Aero (manual) my wife runs a 97 1.8 MX5 to which i fitted a DIY Turbo and intercooler. The results are excellent but i have always been aware that the Turbo on the Mazda is one of...

    I need to replace my warped cylinder head. Two choices; 1) go with the Saab dealers second hand one, rebuilt in Germany where car is located/stranded Cost = 100% 2) The second hand one I have needs welding in three places, between the intake and exhaust valves. It also needs seven valve...
  10. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi, My 94 9000 LPT CSE gear box is making funny noises, similar to something catchy as it goes round and speeds up. The car has only just done 72k. However, I needed a new (rebuilt)box at 38,000. This was done at the best auto box centre in the S.East (or so Im told) However after 14,000 It...

  12. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi all The APC on my MY93 Aero has failed again, which suggests that the problem lies somewhere other than the valve. Does anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem might be? But...in the meantime, I’m thinking about getting around the nasty ‘shut-down jolts’ by fitting a manual BPCV...

    Hi guys Looking for some advice please. My Father has had a nissan 4x4 thing pull out on him Fortunately driving the 900 so he is uninjured. Unfortunately it was a head on collision at 60mph so it looks like the 900's a write off . Now I think its a pretty special car -- F reg, less than...
  14. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Having had the car a few months now, I'm getting the itch to upgrade. At the moment, it's an utterly standard 1996 2.0 LPT (intercooler already present, as is heat plate as far as I can tell) Where's the best place to start? The heat plate will be being removed next time it goes into the...

    I've just done a respray job on a scuff on my passenger door (courtesy of some anonymous to55er in the Sainsbury car park ). I cleaned the door with meths before spraying with Saab paint and covering with Saab lacquer. The door has now been given a good wax. It is really obvious as a...

    Gave her the usual light t-cut and auto-glym winter polish at the weekend, looks fantastic but... have noticed a very slight rust hole just below the side SAAB badge on the bonnet. A 1991 model but not suffering from the other usual rusty bits yet, like door bottoms etc. just plenty of stone...
  20. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Ok here’s the deal, I can have a New car alarm with keyless entry, trunk release, and remote starting installed in my 1992 Saab 9000 CD for around $370(the steep price is due to the Alarm being fairly new, the remote has an LCD screen on it, the remote goes off if your alarm goes off, and the...
