    Hi all Incredibly I had the ECU stolen from my 2007 SAAB 9-3 2.0T Aero convertible. I have sourced a replacement ECU that I believe is correct, however my local SAAB expert cannot get past the security on the new ECU to clear it out and then marry it to my car. He has the genuine Tech 2 and...

    Hi guys i brought my car into a well known place to get the car remapped after the dpf was removed and he managed to delete the dpf, and remap it but he said he couldnt delete the EGR as he would need to remove the ECU and do it on the bench. He didnt seem that keen on doing it.. Any of ye guys...

    Hi all, Firstly I hope if have this in the correct section... My first proper post. Just over a week ago my car failed due to water ingress into the engine ECU (the one bolted to the intake manifold). I have no idea how it got there but it did. I contacted a local Saab specialist, they had...

    I would like to start by saying my name is JD and I would have posted this in the correct forum if I had access to the workshop forum posting, which I don't for some reason. MOD: Please move this. Hello World!!! I am planning on doing a video of this diagnosis because after reading 100's of no...

    So tried to install a map to my dads Saab 9-3 (Z19dth 1.9 150 diesel) However the flash failed and the ecu is corrupted. Does a replacement have to be numbers matching or any can 1.9 150 diesel ecu be paired to the car? Thanks Having a bit of a mental meltdown at the moment (mainly as its not...

    Can anyone help how to reset an ecu ??. Having just fitted a dump valve the instructions suggest resetting the ecu as the idling may be erratic (this seems to be the case) Have tried disconnecting the battery for an hour but doesn't seem to have cured the problem, can a reset only be done by...

    I've had this in the car for nearly 6 months now and it's working flawlessly. I have a 2.3T and got it remapped to 275hp / 400Nm. Filipe just sends a replacement ECU which is an easy swap. You then have the original ECU should you need to return to stock for any reason. Great service and a...
  13. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    I have been told the reason for my air bag warning light showing is that the ecu is faulty. I am about to purchase a used ecu but have been told that it must be divorced properly from the original vehicle presumably as you do with a radio etc. My car is a 1998 2 litre SE turbo saloon. Does...

    Hi guys, It's been a while so hope you are all well and welcome to any newbies who have joined since I was last here. Just a quick one for you. I've noticed recently that my car has been having a bit of bother with power. A few weeks ago I was out on a drive showing my visiting cousin around...

    I was thinking to start learning how to tune SAAB 9-5 ECU's. I found some websites with "how to's" and tutorials. But I can't really find what CANBUS cable I need to connect to my computer. So any suggestion and if possible a link where I can buy the things I need to connect. My first project...
  16. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I have a 2.3T with the B235L engine, meaning it has the same turbo as the aero's B235R. As I understand it the engine is essentially the same except for being 'detuned'. So is it possible to put in an aero ecu? I've been unable to find anything definitive either way. Thanks. And sorry if...

    Hi all, I am after the connector plugs for the ECU. I need about 6 inches of wire remaining on the plug also. Unfortunately during an ECU replacement about 3 years ago, the garage left the cover off that protects these plugs and due to all the wet, dirt etc. they have become corroded and need...

    Hi everybody I'm new to the forum. I own a Saab 9-3 vector sport 1.9 tid (Z19DT 120bhp) And the throttle pedal stopped working and it has started throwing traction control problems up. Because I had access to the parts, I tryed a new throttle pedal, throttle body and it didn't make a difference...
