    I have had some problems with my car (2001 2.0T HOT Aero 205bhp) recently but as she only has 102k and is in good condition I wanted to keep it. So I had the head gasket done 1000 miles ago and 2 weeks ago the Aircon pump ceased taking out the tensioners when the belt went. So after two big...

    hi guys, the drivers door on my parents facelift 9-3 won't open from the outside, it will open from the inside however. What do you think the problem may be? I was thinking maybe broken door lock actuator Thanks Aaron

    So i have been through quite a bit with my 1995 saab 9000 aero. I recently replaced the turbo and am waiting for the forge WGA. The question is this. If I drive super carefully, i.e dont spike the turbo, can I actually drive the car without damaging the engine or turbo? I have to go to a funeral...

    Hi! The fuel door lock motor has crapped out on me. I need instructions in how to remove it. I have a 9-5 station wagon. I tried but I don't seem to be able to remove the black 'stash'-box on the right side in the trunk compartment (I logically suppose that's where I would access it from). I...

    Hi I need a turbo actuator valve for my 3.0 tid v6. It sits on the bulk head. It has two vacuum pipes attached to it. I have spoken to the dealer who tell me they can not supply me with one as Sweden does not have any. Can anyone advise where I can get a new or used one? Thanks in advance.

    Hi there saab owners, What do you think about disconecting the actuator rod from nr.3 flap from the bottom of the inlet manifold by prising it off the ball joint and just leave it moving around disconected and fix all the flaps in open position? so the car will thing everithing is ok but the...
  16. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    i dont know if anyone here has done this or not but it appears to be a fairly easy mod. basically the wastegate has an adjustment nut on the rod and allegedly loosening the nut and turning the end of the rod three turns clockwise can adjust base boost. i guess what im asking is if this mod is...
