    I bought a 2003 9-3 with a 2.0Turbo gas 4 door sedan. It has a very loud lifter knock. I have removed the valve cover and was wondering if i could get some direction as to finding where my trouble spot is? There is no visible broken or loose parts. Thank you in advance.

    I have had issues today with the EGR valve on my TTID. Just got near work and noticed a loss of power and a feeling like the traction control had kicked in.

    Hello all, got a weird noise coming from under the bonnet when accelerating. It doesn't do it under gentle acceleration, only when the go pedal is pushed down a bit further. Sounds like a sort of deep, moaning/groaning noise, like a pump is being put under heavy load or a hose is...

    Our 9-3 Convertible has developed a loud noise from dashboard, which seems to go when the plastics warm up. It is like a loud rattle/knocking sound from around the SID area, it stops when I wedge a screen scraper between dash & windscreen by the SID!. But I cannot pinpoint the cause. I guess...

    Hi Opened the door to my 9.3 ss 53 reg linear this morning, one leg in when there was a very loud bang from the near side. Now it was early, and i was just out of bed so not fully awake, but after a quick check to see if a brick had fallen from the sky onto my pride and joy, i decided i had...

    Hello gents, I have purchased my first saab, a saab 93 2.0t vector sport 2007 model (even though Its registered late 2006! ). Absolutely love it. The only problem so far is that the reversing radar is not loud enough. I have to turn stereo down when I am reversing & tell passengers to keep...
