  1. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    After gearbox replacement the ATF doesn't flow anymore. I checked this by removing the upper hose from the radiator and started the engine and shifted a bit (also without the shifting rod connected and shifted by hand on the selector rod). But no ATF is flowing... what can i do?

    I bought some Saab touch up paint for my silver 9-5 (can't remember the paint code but it was definitely the right one)- the little pot with the touch up brush and lacquer- to touch up some stone chips. However- it's a really [expletive deleted] match. Anyone else had this problem? I wanna buy...

    Odd problem, The interior light of my SAAB works fine. However when the driver's door is open it does not light. Open any other door on the car and the interior light comes on as expected. The light setting is set to 1. I was wondering if you can advise me on what to check or what could be wrong.

    Just looking around to see what 9-5 Aero's are about and came across this car. Reg is 02 but car shown as an aero but surely this must have either sta aroung for a long time or something up with reg as it's pre face lift so wrong grille etc...

    '93MY 9000 CS The central locking is getting a bit temperamental from the drivers door and works intermittently to lock/unlock the other doors. The passenger side works fine as does the centre console button. What's a likely culprit? Cheers Peter

    Hi guys As the title says the ACC on my sons 97 aero auto doesn't seem to work properly. All lights work on it and it doesn't seem to throw up any fault codes. If you raise temp the lights move up or down to corresponding direction it wants to send warm air. If you drop the temp then again it...

    On one of my (banana style) keyfobs, the remote central locking stopped responding (all buttons). I tried replacing the battery, but still dead. Looking a bit closer at the keyfob circuit board, I had a hunch that the most fragile component might be the crystal, and keys get dropped a lot...

    Hello folks Since replacement of engine (after catastrophic oil pump failure) and turbo replacement - she runs!- purrs lke a kitty!, but as soon as she's warm- even when in motion, few times just died out... altogether engine rattles as it meant to idle. I still have "check engine" warning light...
  10. Saab News
    <div align="center"> Apparently General Motors CEO Fritz Henderson thinks the upcoming Saab 9-5 is so good, he doesn't want to sell the Swedish automaker. In an interview in Sweden's Expressen magazine he declares that he'd rather see Saab fail in bankruptcy court than sell off the brand. The...

    Hi all, I just removed the air filter/air flow sensor/pipe to turbo assembly to take a look at the rack. I found out I couldn't do what I wanted without removing the servo (replace the rack bush) so I put everything back together again. I tried to start the car and she ran for about 3 or 4...

    The car seems to have an adversion to cold mornings and just won't start. I've just had my 2000 Saab 95 2.0 LPT serviced at 114,000 mile and a new battery fitted (original battery replaced after 8 years!!), however when I tried to start it this morning (-4 ) it would turn over but not start...

    Hello all - new member, first posting - Have enjoyed reading the archive posts of this forum. Re: 1999 Saab 93, 150k miles. Backed my Saab out of the garage the other night and 1 hr later as I went to move it back in, it failed to start. Engine will turn over, but not fire. 12 month old...

    I had my first long-ish drive since picking up my 2007 9-3 Convertible a month ago. I duly set the Sat Nav (which has worked fine up until now) and it guided me along all the parts of the route I knew. As I approached Northampton, and started driving on roads that I had never seen before, the...

    I'm now into my second 9000 CSE Anniversary, 2.3 LPT, R reg. with the same problem. I must really sort it out this time. The ACC seems to work fine for short journeys (less than 20 minutes) or maybe it just doesn't need to get going. On longer journeys it fails to work automatically. There is...

    The gas lifts/stays on my 1999 9-3 appear to have suddently developed a problem. Mrs E opened the hatch this morning to put the dogs in (it was minus 0c in the frost), said she heard a gas rushing sort of noise as she lifted the hatch, went to put the dogs in the boot when the hatch suddenly...
  19. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi I've just developed a problem with my boot lid on a 2000 saab 9-5. When I close the boot the catch doesn't keep it shut. Should I be looking at a electrical fault or is it as simple as the latch has just gone kput, & needs to be replaced. Thanks for any advise offered.
