    Interesting problem occurring in 9-3 Convertibles. The hydraulic cyclinder that controls the master latch for the convertible top has been failing at a decent rate. That means leaking hydraulic fluid all into your front seat area. And worse, the cylinder is on intergalactic backorder and costs...

    So my service interval was at 1%, tried the ignition on, brake on pedal clear button but that didnt work, then I changed the date to + 2 years and time to service came on and I managed to reset it but service interval went up to 58%, so I decided to change the date back to 2012 and the service...

According to a recent report by Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri, the Swedish security force Sapo investigated former Spyker...

    Hi, my first post on these forums, nice to meet you all. I am experiencing major problems whilst driving my 1994 9000 CSE Turbo on hot days (above say 30 celcius / 86 farenheight). The engine will completely cut out without warning, after I have driven approx 50 + kms. It will then take between...

    My new SID2, along with needing to be programmed, now tries to convince me its "Service Due" time ... How do I clear this message myself?
  18. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Good morning, hope this is a valid question to ask here, apologies if it isn't! My 9-3 1.9 Tid is due its 1st service fairly soon. Local SAAB dealer in South Bucks area will charge around £290 for this, sounds a bit excessive for an oil change & a quick once over ( not a lot more than that...
  19. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi all, I'm hoping to give my F reg 1989 Saab 9000 Turbo a good service in April (weather permitting). It was last serviced around 18 months ago, but only 2,500 miles ago. But all I have to go on is the service stamp. I have no idea what was, or was not done in the service. So this is what...
  20. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    After how many miles would you recommend changing the lower hydraulic engine mountings on the right side (front and back)? (9000 CSE MY96 2.0 LPT) How would you tell if they needed replacing without taking them out and looking at them? Many thanks for the advice (in advance!)
