Hi all, I've been crashing around the advice here, for which I'm already very grateful. Usual questions: How do I clean and proof my roof; how do I make the audio sound halfway decent (why does such a nice car have such an appalling stereo?!) and what the chuff is Tech2! I'm learning quickly...

Hello guys Have a problem with my 2009 Saab 9-3 1.8t (Biopower). When I shift in high RPM (after 4500 RPM, any gear) the clutch pedal wont come up all the way. It comes up 1/3 of the way, and I have to push it up with my foot. It is possible to change gear even if I dont push up. If I pump...

Hey all, Just bought myself a lovely 9-3 1.8t saloon. It's got a 5 speed manual gearbox. I've noticed that when in 5th gear and coasting at about 70 mph that there is a quiet but noticeable whine. It increases in loudness and pitch as I increase the revs/speed. If I push in the clutch or...

Hello guys, Long time lurker and made a few posts in the past, but having sold my 2003 9-3 aero a year ago I am now looking at buying a newer model, namely a 2009 9-3 1.8t. The car in question is a 6-speed petrol 2litre low pressure turbo. I did a quick search with no results but have a feeling...

Hi all, Wondering if you could help me diagnose a noise, if anyone has had similar? It first occurred back in April when I was on a 4 hour road trip, it only occurs sometimes and only when driving 60mph+ (therefore my usual commute when traffic doesn't top 40-50mph it doesn't occur)...

Just thought you might like to see what 100 metres of stick on 3mm pin striping looks like. Took about 5 hours over two days. General opinion is 30% like, 70% don't like but can appreciate the time gone into it.

I'm considering buying a 2011 9-3 1.8t Convertible with Auto gearbox (MY2012) as a replacement for my much-loved but now declared "beyond economic repair" 1998 NG900 Convertible. What should I look out for? Were there any recalls for this car I should check? Am I right in thinking the bulkhead...
