  2. Classic Saab 9-5
    Hi, I have a problem with my 2001 9-5 3.0 TiD. While driving and the engine is getting close to it's operating temp it starts to misfire, and bog down when you accelerate over 2000 rpm, uphill is making it even worse. Also when this happens a white smoke is developed from the exhaust. This...

    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...

  6. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I recently purchased a 99 9-5 and the vehicle pulls throttle at 2k rpms. It will bounce hard off that rpm and jerk repeatedly until throttle is off and will do it again when it hits that range. I could drive it if I kept rpms below 2k. I was pulling p1251 and p1260 codes. I looked into the...
  7. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I was wondering if I could pull a xenon headlamp assembly from a car that had the option and put it in my car, that didn't come with the option, if it'd work with no programing; like a drop in retrofit.

  9. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi, I'm looking at getting this Autotrader 9-5 I've not owned a Saab before but they've been in my family a lot. I've found buying guides for other engines on the 9-5 that have general things but anything particular to this model I should be wary about?

    Hi, "Coolant Level Low" SID came on yesterday, and foolishly I ignored it thinking I had time to look at at it later.
