  2. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Me again, sorry... My 54 reg (VIN says MY2005) 9-5 2.3t Vector does not have all the brake booster pipework coming out of the air intake near the throttle body. I'm sure I saw that this is normal although I can't find the post again. Where the vacuum pipe would have been in the red-ringed...

    I have started to replace the brake booster on my saab 9-5 . so far I have got as far as removing the 2 top bolts but i cannot get to the third bolt at the bottom of the booster. I have tried going at it from the top and underneath with a spanner and a socket but just cant get anything on the...

  5. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    I recently had idling issue with my 2001 Saab 9-3 SE Conv. [130k]. I checked the engine compartment after I heard a suction noise and found a open hose which must have come off from a black kind of valve. I was able to put the hose back to the valve and the engine would immediatly go back to...

    Hi guys, The brake booster (i.e. servo) on the 9-5 MY 2000-2001 is prone to leak at some point. As it is not serviceable in or out of the car, if it leaks it has to be replaced. I was able to change mine in a more straightforward manner than I saw written up on the forums. Just to share, I'll...

    I'm wanting to fit a Maptun stainless delivery pipe to a MY05 Aero manual but I have a problem. This pic shows the standard delivery pipe setup with a vacuum pipe for the brake booster connected to the delivery pipe. This pic shows that same vacuum pipe connected to the inlet manifold...
  9. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi Guys I'm slowly reassembling my 9000 CSe Ani after a long illness (me not the car). I initially had to repair the autobox after a complete failure of the bearings, as I said I'm now reassembling the lot and I'm pretty much complete apart from the ABS Vacuum Booster Pump. This thing is...

    Hi All, had a quick search but cannot find anything about boosting the radio ariel signal on a 1999 93 vert. I have fitted and aftermarket stereo (and i know this could be the issue) but the signal was not good before with the saab stereo in their either. The ariel I think is the standard...

    For discussion! OK, so Tesco Super Unleaded (RON99) is 95% unleaded and 5% bio-ethanol. Morrisons bio-fuel (RON 115 I think) is 85% bio-ethanol and 15% unleaded. So, in theory you could use Morrisons bio-fuel as an octane booster with standard unleaded, and as its cheaper than unleaded it...

    Oh, how I miss the integrated child seats that we had in the 9-3 ! Having swapped the child seats over at least twice yesterday between our 2-cars I really need to buy a booster seat for our eldest (6-year old girl). Any recommendations? TIA.
  13. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi Everybody! In the last few weeks in my 9-5 (2.3 LPT Hirsch 1.) the idle became unstable. Initially the mechanic suggested throttle body. But finally became clear that the brake booster should be changed! This part is rather expensive. Do you have anybody same experience? The specialist told...

    Any idea on how complicated to fit? 900 carlsson 1989. And is it main dealer supplier only?
  15. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    I have been wondering lately about engine/gas/oil treatments. Such as octane booster, Can I use it all the time? or just periodically? Or oil treatments, Will they do more harm than good in the Saab Engine? I was curious, thinking about putting in cleaning, and enhancing additives. Has anyone...
