    I know this is a bit of a long shot... Doing a custom install on a Regal GS, for which I have a BPS short shifter for a 9-3...except the pivot ball is slightly too small. Everything else is okay. My Buick uses the same F40 transmission. I seen BPS makes a shifter for the Cobalt SS... But I...

    Hey guys, I am hoping you can tell me if I can replace the thermostat without replacing the entire thermostat housing??? I will replace the coolant temperature sensor (the one with a blue plug thats next to the thermostat housing but is actually mounted to the engine block) but thinking of...

    Hi All :D, New to the forum and just picked up my 2005 9-3 1.9 Tid 120bhp. I noticed that the temp gauge is only getting to a quarter (max) and down again when I turn the heating up inside the car. I presume that that Stat needs changing and was wondering if there is a comprehensive How To...

    So spoke with ECP who gave me the choice of a new thermostat and housing for £30ish notes or just the stat itself for £8, given my last motors haven't been that difficult to swap just the stat, I bought the stat alone. However, I can see the stat, I just can't figure out how to disengage both...

    Does anyone know the purpose of part #12789738 (small black part/cover that bolts to the thermostat housing itself). Is this just a drain for the thermostat housing? Also, I was wondering what the purpose of the small pointed tip on the inside of the black cover? It was leaking on my 2011 so...

    I somehow shattered my fog light on a recent trip. Does anyone have a driver's side housing they're looking to sell?

    Hi i had recently done the clutch on my 1999 saab 93, and was bleeding it, until i over tightened the bleed screw, i used abit to much force in attempting to untighten/loosen it, the bleed screw with its plastic housing came off, detaching itself from the bell housing with a hissing...

  12. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Bought new one from e-bay, housing only,pretty good quality for only £6. The problem is that the buttons are a hard plastic, whereas the old we're rubber and a lot easier to press. As my wife has arthritis and will be using the car I am looking to get another housing for the other fob, does...
  13. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hi folks, I bought my 2008 TTiD a month or so ago and although it says about 40% left until the next service, I thought it'd be good to change the oil & filter anyway before an upcoming 1,000-mile round trip (plus then I can be sure it's got the right oil!) Unfortunately - as is not uncommon...

    Has anybody got a scrap Mitsubushi turbo that I can buy for reasonably money. I only need the exhaust housing as my wastegate poppet valves fallen off. Or, I can swop for parts if preferred. I'm at Notts. Thanks. Mike.
  15. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I have ordered a new thermostat and housing as my car is barely warming up at all, warms up slightly ore at high speed but cools down again after that. So I can only conclude that the thermostat is stuck open. I am a fairly confident and competent DIYer... Does anyone have any thoughts or...

    Hi Someone clipped our 2006 93 when my partner was driving and caused the LHS mirror (just the glassy/mirror bit, not the whole housing) to pop out. Haven't yet found a way to re-attach it properly. So for now we're having to fold it in and leave it there. Is there an easy way to fix...

    I noticed this oil leak the other day and tightened the nut. This made it worse. Can anyone advise on stopping this oil leak.

  19. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Poking around under the car at the weekend, trying to find the source of an annoying vibration at 1000rpm, I noticed that both the lower fixings on the air filter housing had failed. These have a bit of rubber bonded between a metal insert in the housing and a threaded portion that is fixed to...
