Hey all, I am new to this forum, but have had my 9000 for 7 years. I am rebuilding the top end, and having trouble getting the center pulley/damper bolt off. Any tricks to be aware of? Also, anyone who has upgraded the camshafts from stock and has a thought on it, please comment. Thanks!! Scott

Hi, I appreciate any help/advice from this forum, as I have been pouring through the posts to find something similar to what I'm experiencing. Yesterday, my 9-5 starting billowing out LOTS of whitish colored smoke from the tail pipe whenever I was idle - so much smoke that for a minute I...

I have just discovered over the past couple days a terrible noise that resulted in the wheel for the water pump being VERY wobbly. The car is parked, and the belt hasn't broken(yet). Temps are still running cool, but am loosing A LOT of coolant when I drive. In case it matters, its also a...

Hi, I have for sale a 9000 Aero. This is an N reg car (1996) and has quite high mileage at 210,000, but still drives smoothly and is very comfortable. I bought it last June and it has been used daily since then, unfortunately it has developed a few faults and is in need of some TLC to...

I was on my way down the highway when my I started losing speed and gave it a little more gas and then the boost gauge read full boost but my rpms was still low. The engine was getting a little warm that day too. right after that I put the car in neutral and it stalled. I put it in gear to start...

Hi. Apologies for my first post on here being a 'sale' thread! ;) I've basically inherited this 9000 and although I'm very impressed with it, two other cars (including one money pit project car) means that I cant realistically justify holding onto it. I'd prefer it to go to a Saab...

It's time to replace both drive shafts complete with CV's and boots. Located in Vic Aust, a supply contact has asked, what is the spleen count for the CV's? The vehicle is a 1993 CS 2.3L non turbo. Any help with parts reference site or details please.

Hey everyone! I've just bought a 2.3l Aero Saab as a doner for some bits I needed for my Saab 9000 2.0l Carlsson. I will be breaking this for spares once I've decided what I want to keep but I wanted to know if the engine would fit in mine?! Any help would be gratefully received!! Thanks Al

I'm trying to work this out - acn you hear my neurons screaming in agony! I see there are 2 types of ECU Trionic & the other one. 1st up can anyone tell me which one I have so I can work out whether I should be looking at the coolant sensor or the knock sensor. I recently had my head done...

I am looking for information about a 1989 SAAB 900 Turbo 2.3L Diesel. I have been all over google and have yet to find any information that is about the diesel. I can find plenty of information on the gas version but nothing about the diesel. Can anyone out there tell me more about this car...

I finally got my Haynes manual from Amazon after nearly two months - and two backorder notices. Directions to replace the timing and balance shaft chains are good but I was disappointed that there doesn't seem to be any definative inspection or wear decriptions such as pass/fail. I bought my...

Hi! Can't seem to find a non-factory Saab shop manual past 1988? Replacing clutch (cable, not slave cylinder) and having problem separating transaxle from 2.3 L engine. Does K-member have to come down? Am trying to remove passenger side half-shaft, but pillow block under alternator is no fun...

Hi All After reading some messages, the auto box on Saab seems to be a common failure and costly to repair - very scary $$$. A regular maintenance hopefully should help to extend the life of the auto box. So, I asked some Saab mechanics to change the auto box oil on my '93 9000, one said that...

What are the differences between the 2.3L LPT and the 2.3L HOT engines, other than the turbo and the ECU? I still have to put in a drilled out oil trap in my 2.3L LPT to see if it'll stop the smoke-on-startup issue, but if it doesn't and I have to replace the turbo, I'm wondering what options I...

I've been looking around and I have contacted a couple of people who have been very helpful and I figure I can get a couple more opinions through here. The first thing is an ECU...Most I've seen for about $700 are there any that are less expensive? What have people tried that give a good...
