    Hi guys, I used the car quite extensively this weekend and today after the last leg of my trip which was about 120 miles the low coolant level message came on on the SID. I stoped and checked the level. (It seemed around the reservoir line when the engine was hot. So I suppose then that it...

  11. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I had another thread but wanted to ask this on its own. My Aero went a bit crazy the last few weeks resulting in a flaming exhaust and hot ash being spewed from the back. It cleared the limited performance mode light(which threw no codes). I checked the oil level on advice from here and sure...

    Simple question - how do you get an accurate engine oil level reading? Car in question is a 57 plate 93 Tid 150. Just checked the oil level for about the millionth time this week and I still don't know how much of the dam stuff is in there. One side of the stick shows the level at just...
  14. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi All - archives & google search on this and no joy. My 86 9000T is at the shop and my mechanic is asking "where do I check for oil level in gearbox?" We both see the filler hole - there is NO dipstick attached to the plug, as some cars have. The ENGINE oil dipstick has markings which suggest...
  15. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I've had a bit of a mishap and have broken the cover of the high level rear brake light on my Saab 9-5 Estate. Can I get a cover to replace it myself or do I have to get a whole new light unit? I don't want to take it off until I have a replacement. I do not think the inside is damaged. Thanks
  16. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hi, I know that all garages/mechanics when they replace the oil they top it up to max on dipstick. But logically thinking shouldn't the optimal oil level be middle of dipstick? What are your thoughts? I've just changed oil myself and level is right in the middle, so wondering whether I should...
