    Hi All. This is my 4th Saab but have not owned one since 2008. I have just aquired a 2011 1.9 ttid turbo edition without nav and am trying to retrofit a grundig unit into the car. I have the correct leads and an aftermarket GPS Facro antenna. Apparently a "divorced" unit that needs "marrying"...

    Hi All Just brought a silver 2.0 T Convertible back home this afternoon - it has a few niggles but I'm already clutching a Haynes manual and joined this lively forum. Chris (Coventry)

    Hello, I won the bidding on a fairly OK SAAB 9-3 2.0t Vector Convertible from 2005 with nearly 140 000 km done. Its of course not in mint condition but everything seems to work. I used to own a lot of SAAB:s until the company bankrupted, starting with Saab 92 followed by 95, 99, 900 (old, 2...

    Hello, My name is Laimis, I've been lucky enough to have the username all to myself :) So I am a Lithuanian and if my grammar ain't in the sweet spot please excuse me. I bought myself a Saab 9-3 TiD Vector 2006 plate For £150, I know that's amazing, a jetplane for 150 quid :D As it was that...

    Hi all, I've joined up as I've just bought a 2005 9-3 Aero 2.0t. Love it so far... 106k miles, FSH, high spec, 6 speed manual and remapped to 250bhp - it's a lot of fun! So far I've just done a bit of minor tinkering which you may notice from the before / after pics below. Looking forward to...

    Sigh... So I bought a 2004 9-5 2.3t Vector last weekend. Did a couple of 50 mile+ runs over that weekend and used it to do 10 miles each way to work this week, it seemed fine and pulled strongly with the boost gauge up to the yellow/red gap. One time I got a P1251,P1260,P1261 CEL but after a...

    hi everyone, ive recently bought a 9-5 estate as it ticks all the boxes for me - big enough for taking the family around, big enough for work (self employed electrician) and also smart enough for work when quoting jobs etc and managed to get myself the HOT version. Its a bit of a dog and needs a...

    Hi all, just bought a 9-3 estate TiD 150 - first time I've ever tried a Saab and bought it on the spot. Think it's going to be a long termer I like it that much. No doubt I'll be seeking technical advice, hints and tips from all you Saab veterans and experts out there. I've read several threads...

    Presently 11 years later it has almost 88,00 miles. I am really looking forward to picking your brains with assistance in making "Red" keep up to her potrntial. I am also looking forward to sharing what I have discovered that helps keep her on the road. Looking forward to further...

    Hi everyone. Bought my first Saab today (Based in UK), 57 plate Manual 9-3 Vector Sport TID (150) 70k on the clock, 2 previous owners, fantastic condition inside and out, refurbished black alloys and looks the absolute business. Car came with pretty much a full Saab service history and...
  15. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    So bought my dads 9-3 off him... However it has one nagging fault, when started from cold there is a leak from the exhaust manifold / turbo meeting point on the front of the block. Only happens from cold and its a grey /light bluish smoke (albeit not burning oil at all, so reckon its just...
  16. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Bought another 9-3 sport wagon today, this time it's an '06 1.9TiD 150bhp. Bit of a difference between the two but rather not keep putting extra miles on the Turbo X. Hopefully picking her up this Saturday. :D

    As we all know Tech 2 would be a really useful tool to have especially as one of my two part keys came apart this week and I lost the T5 chip from inside it(solid key for a 9-5 with banana) ! The nieghbours thought I must be going mad hunting through the grass on all fours at the front of the...
  18. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Just bought 2000 Saab 9.5, 125,000mi. It was a one-owner car. It has a bad turbo that the dealer replaced, and it overheated due to a leak in the hose, so he replaced the hose and the coolant and the valve cover gasket. During the overheating event coolant was sprayed everywhere under the hood...
