  1. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi Guys, I am looking to replace bulbs in my 2.0ltr LPT auto instrument cluster and see on Ebay lots of AERO clusters with Turbo gauge:thumbsup: and I am wondering will the 9-5 AERO auto cluster fit without issue where a 2.0LPT cluster was. Many thanks, John

    Another poll for the 2.0LPT What's the best economy you've had on a run? Also, what's your overall average? If enough people enter their figures, we'll hopefully get a realistic picture of fuel economy...
  4. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi All, Just bought a cheap 9-5 estate for the mrs and very pleased with bar one thing. It will no go into 2nd gear when shifting from 3rd. 1st to 2nd it changes fine but when shifting from any other gear it wont go in at all (doesn't crunch etc, just plain will not go in) at the minute we are...

    My 9-5 arc was written off in an accident yesterday (I was stationary at the time) and I want a straight replacment as far as possible. I have yet to agree a sum with the insurers but my problem is that I had the AS3 audio fitted professionally after I bought the car. My guess is that finding...
  7. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I've had a read up about this, and it seems I may have a fairly common fault with my 9-5. The car is a 1998 9-5, 129k on the clock and from the various receipts I have I can't see any evidence of the turbo ever being changed. Today I noticed smoke when changing gear - enough smoke for me to...

  10. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    I have been running 2.0LPT which hasn't been quite right for 3 or so years. Latest foible is when coasting (say 60mph down a hill out of gear) the idle only comes down to 1100rpm. When stopped it falls to where it should. It is a recent new idle control valve. I am fed up with the 2.0 and have...
  11. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I'm sure this has been asked many times but what are the tuning options for a 9-5 2.0 lpt? From looking at other postings, am I correct in thinking that simply swapping ( with Tech2 marrying it to the car) the ecu for one out of 2.0 FPT will do the business of giving FTP performance?
  12. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    As I went to see one and had grey cloth, I thought all CSE's had leather but maybe not.
  13. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi Folks, Considering PPC upgrade on my 1998 car but it has original green injectors. I believe these were upgraded to red in 1999 and these are used in Saab upgrade to 192bhp. Has anyone used BSR PPC with original green injectors successfuly? Funds limited and dont want to have to change...
