    Does anyone have any pics of the gasket that fits between the lower turbo and the first part of the exhaust (CAT) Looks like it will be a few inches in diameter. A part number would be very useful if you have one as well. I have been told that it will be the same as a J series Astra CDTi...

    I look like having to change the timing cover gasket in the new year as I have a slight leak from that area. Was advised by Saab mechanic when the car was on the ramp.Maybe I will just see if I can tighten the bolts a touch but being a bit particular thought changing gasket best option. I cant...

    I'm about 99% sure that my 04 Saab 93 Aero 2.0T has a blown head gasket. Pressurizing the coolant system and causing it to blow out the reservoir:mad:. Is this a common problem with 9-3's? And if so, what is usually the cause? And has anyone on here attempted to repair this on their own? Open to...

  9. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I have a 2004 9-3 2.0turbo. Just replaced the head gasket and on start up it had a really rough idle. I'm sure the timing went back exactly the way it was. To be on the safe side I ordered a camshaft locking tool for a Z20NET engine as I was told this was the same engine. The tool turned up...

  15. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hello, My 1991 9000 2.3L turbo is spewing white smoke from exhaust, oil filler, and after busting the PVC hose, smoke is coming from the breather, top right (when facing number plate, knees on) of the rocker cover. The smoke used the smell sweet as I had radiator coolant in it but now I am in...

    Hi I've posted before about an issue, but I've just done a head re-torque on my 2.3 Carlsson with TCS (which needs resetting). Initial start up prompted a rise in the header tank (is this air? or even a jammed closed stat?) I let it settle down, drained off some coolant, and got it to settle...

  18. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi, I just bought a 1997 9000cse with a bad head gasket. There is coolant in the oil. The car has 118,500 miles on it and appears to be well maintained. I have been looking at head gasket threads and noticed the sticky for re-torquing the head bolts. I am thinking of trying that first, but...
