  1. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hello all. I have a 9-3 2006 1.9 tid. I have had the usual problems with the EGR valve clogging for the last couple of years, and last cleaned it a couple of months ago after a loss of power. This sorted the problem as usual. The exhaust has now developed a hole just to the front of the flexible...

  5. Saab 95 & 96 Two stroke and V4 (1949 - 1980)
    Hi guys :) We have just acquired a '70 V4, which we intend to use for a charity rally later on in the year. It is pretty scruffy, has been painted green with cheap paint, and doesn't go into reverse (I'm thinking linkage adjustment), but otherwise it does (Eventually) start and run, and...

    Oy, I've got what seems to be the classical wet boot on left hand drive 98 9-3 5 door. It's always damp in the rear corners of the boot and the front windscreen fogs up on the inside ( this winter i had to scrap ice from the inside more than a few times.) In rooting around under the carpet...

    Hi - Hope someone can help me with my 2004 93 convertable I have just found a small hole in my blue mohair hood. It is on the rear nearside. Can anyone advise me how to repair it? or can I get it repaired at a spacialist shop. The hood is in very good condition apart from this small hole.
  9. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Okay, I guess most of you will check this out, saying well Du'h, of course it matters, but it's not quite that simple. I have a 1995 - 9-5 which has been a royal pain in the backside since I got it. It's latest trick has been to throw off the bottom half of the conrod on cylinder number 1 and...

  11. Saab News
    The local reports that it was not an anonymous investor, but solely the work of Government Motors that filled the remaining 22% hole that previous U.S. investor, Mark Bishop backed out of. What seriously concerns me about this deal is that I honestly feel that this “loan” won’t be without a...

  14. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    The person who is targetting our car took a screwdriver and hammer to it tail end of last week. Windscreen done in three places and now I have a hole in the roof. Insurance people are being typical and saying that the two attacks a week apart are two separate insurance claims and so I have to...
  15. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    after noticing oil in the oil filler cap, I did a few searchs and found that the PCV may be bust - indeed I can see daylight through it. As I took it off, the smaller iof the hoses attached to it disintegrated in a puff of black smoke. Can I use 3mm silicon hose on both sides of the PCV, as I...

    Just had a guy come to the house to regas my aircon, and a pin hole has been found in one of the aluminium aircom pipes. Luckily the guy knows somebody who should be able to put and aluminium weld on it so it can be regassed. The bizarre thing is that nothing rubs against this pipe. Seems like...

    Hi I have searched the forum for most of the evening (!) and wish to try the "drill two holes" mod on my '98 9-5 The heating and A/C work fine, except for the rear passengers melting when the front is Normal! This is overcome by setting the temp to LO - which then gets the rear vents blowing...

    i have seen today when checking through the front bumper that i have a very small pin prick type hole in the intercooler(like stone damage).i have been experiencing a loss in power and a surging/ hesitation when i put my foot down,could this be the cause? will a hole so small cause power loss?
  19. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Spent part of the afternoon checking the hydraulics for the roof, and whilst under the rear seat I discovered a circular hole giving me a marvellous view of the road under the car. No rust present - just a perfectly circular hole about the size of an old ten pence piece (two pound coin?)...

    I was tinkering around on his 2004 Saab 9-5 a frined bought used this weekend. When we pealed the front top coweling back (over the radiator/intercooler fans) and looked down at the air inlet there was a hole in the top of the air inlet with a mounting J-clip reinforcement where something once...
