Hi All, My Saab has just developed a problem where the alarm goes off about after about 20seconds of arming. If you turn it off, via the fob, then back on again it's fine. And it doesn't go off with the top down. I know it points to the ultrasonic detector but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Many...

Hi All Just wanted some advice and to see what you think of the following. I have Saab 95 2.3t on a 55 plate with built in Denso Navigation, I have owned the car for approx 1 year and since new has always been serviced my main dealers. Also I took over the extended warranty which just expired...

Happy New Year everyone! My 9-3 Touring is nearly 3 years old. Generally pleased with it but the gear knob keeps coming off in my hand! I can't see any screws to tighten it it looks to be just a push fit. I could hit it with a hammer and force it back on or drive to the dealer who will...

The title says it all. Sounds like a leaf stuck in a vent but continues even after engine switched off Any ideas anyon

Hi All my aircon pump is noisy when it is off and not under load. It sounds as if the freewheeling bearing or whatever it is in there has gone dry and makes a metallic grating sound. When the aircon is switched on it is quiet and works fine. Does anyone know if it can be lubricated in any way...

Bit embarrassing really, pops off on it's own or when the Mrs uses it.. anyone got the best way to stick it back on please? :-) TIA Darren

Have had the " Service Theft Alarm" on SID on and off for some time now this morning at 1am and minus 4deg C the alarm started sounding but no indicators flashing. Pulled fuse 14 but that just reduced the volume of the alarm but did not stop it. With the time of night and the temperature...

Does anyone know how to fix this. It was getting hard to pull then, as I was pulling to release the bonnet, the whole assembly came off the side. :mad:

Sure everyone's aware of this all too common problem, the pin corroding and the wastegate rod falling off.. I've just bought a Forge actuator whilst I'm on with this but what's left of the pin is corroded in to the hole. I think I recall someone saying the replaced this with a 'spring' washer...

I was driving along and the gear stick just popped off, slightly dangerous!!! anyway, I grabbed it and shoved it back on and pressed down. Seemed okay now! Then it happened again last night! Is there a way this clips / locks in to stay on?

Hello folks Since replacement of engine (after catastrophic oil pump failure) and turbo replacement - she runs!- purrs lke a kitty!, but as soon as she's warm- even when in motion, few times just died out... altogether engine rattles as it meant to idle. I still have "check engine" warning light...

HELP!! Not long ago I found a tiny spot on the door surface. Yesterday I brought my 9-3 to auto car wash. After the wash a large area of gloss surface has been peeled off at that position! Please see the photos I taken. http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/2985006786/ Any advice from...

I've been getting the 'Service Theft Alarm' message for a while now and have been reading through Saabscene and deliberating on the best course of action, but tonight I think the backup batteries have finally given up and siren keeps activating! Before the neighbours get really p*ssed off, can...

Ahh electrical gremlins! Was summoned to carpark today to silence the alarm at work. The indicators were flashing also. Reset on the fob but seconds later it went off again and wouldnt switch off, even with car open, key in ignition and engine running. Managed to silence it by removing FUSE 5...
