    Hi, my name is Rob and I am a new member. I have a SAAB 9-5 estate (75000 miles) 1.9 diesel which is currently having the dreaded DPF issues. This seems to be caused by a swirl flap error and my swirl flap arm has come off. I have been advised that I need a new inlet manifold. I have looked...

    Has anyone got the part number of EPC diagram that shows the pipe that goes from the air filter box to the lower turbo. Mine has split and I think the dealership has given me a single turbo one.

    Been reading over on Saab Central (US forum) about problems with inlet valves on 2ltr Petrol engines which cause poor cold starting issues (Low compression when cold). I haven't come across any incidents reported on UK Saab forums and wondered how common a problem it actually is? I am not...

    Reducing throttle inlet air temperature. As all of Saab users suffer from the heatsoak I started to look for a solution that could reduce the inlet air temperature (instead of replacing the IC again to some custom one. I already changed mine to the one from Aero but the problem still persists)...

    Hello again. I have a 1999 9-5 but the engine is from a 2003 9-5. I have just noticed that the rubber hose on the intake pipe has been cut short and is not connected to anything. I pinched it with my fingers to see if anything changed but nothing seemed to hapen. Is it supposed to be connected...

    Hi all recently bought a Saab 9-2 1.9tid 16v and the engine check light came on soon after. Put a fault code reader on and got code p0234. After reading a number of posts on here I decided to have a look at the EGR valve and throttle body and found both these to have quite a lot of sooty gunk...

    Hi Guys, Just a quick question and a bit of advice regarding the inlet manifold for the TTID. I have a 58 plate Aero and have read that the swirl flaps can be a problem on these early cars and that a revised version was made from 2010 on. I see NeoBros are selling the inlet manifold complete...

    Hi and hope someone can help I've removed the inlet manifold and clean it this morning as the car was running rough and EML was on. The code was for the EGR valve. Clean everything and refitted but the car will not start. I had to remove the metal diesel lines that go over the manifold to...

    Hi, The control rod for the swirl flaps is off. EGR recently replaced. I can source a new manifold on ebay for £150. Not getting an error on the ECU about the motor. Would i get away with just replacing the manifold without fitting a new Swirl control motor? GM recommended replacing both...
