    A friend is bringing in a new throttle body (and gasket) from the UK for his 2004 Linear 9-3 convertible with advice from the supplier that for this to function, software must be updated. OK, what does this mean exactly? Can only a Saab dealer (which are scarce or non existent in Tassie) do...

    Guys, Recently was contacted by a friend who has a '02 9-5 2 litre estate which was showing an occasional flicker of the oil pressure light. Things culminated with a tappety noise from the top of the engine. I decided that a look under the head cover and in the sump was called for. Top end...

  10. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hi there, anyone did it already ? Is it really complicated ? I mean once the gearbox is removed from the car, how difficult is it to just swap the valve body AND the filter with new ones? Nothing else just swapping. Thank you.

    Hi guys, With winter on the approach I thought now would be a good time to tackle the EGR valve issue which has reared it's ugly head again. The car is due it's M.O.T in December & I don't want it to fail because of the EML light. I have an idea on that however if the need be when the time...
