  1. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    My 2001 9-5 SE coasted to a stop on Christmas eve. After having it towed home I determined the fuel pump has pumped its last. The car has about 155K miles so not too bad for a pump but not great. I should have he new pump assembly in by the week end. Ordered the ProParts replacement pump...
  2. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi guys, just thought i would let you know that i have breathed some new life into my 1999 9-5. I have fitted an ECU that is viggen stage 1 tuned for red injectors and so swapped the green injectors for red ones. Just to add a little more grunt i have installed a digital chip tuning box from pro...
  3. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Now then, Have recently fitted a second hand new TB but it didnt come with a gasket / O ring. My old throttle body had a perfectly circular O ring with no squared off section as are the ones for sale on PFS etc. Problem is the old O ring was absolutely massive when i removed and simply couldnt...
  4. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Guys, For those who don't jump between the different sections, I am commencing stripping the engine from one of my 'spare' 9000's to fit in a 9-5. This means that the rest of it becomes a 'spares' car so lots of bits available. It's a '95 2 litre LPT in Ruby red with Rocky black interior. PM...

  7. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Seems that a bit of research tells me that if teh injectors are starting to ge the engine can sound very noisey ( mine does off and on ) and the sump can get contaminated with diesel ( mine has been but was it all to do with the old software?). They are 104k miles now, I'm averaging 43mpg...

    Hello all, I've decided that my 9-3 will last as long as I can possibly keep it alive! The transmission oil, auxiliary drive belt, brake fluid and spark plugs have been replaced at 70,000 miles. I keep an eye on the front suspension coils for failure but I do need to replace rear bushes as...
