So today when I was at work, the alarm on my 9k decided to go off for what seems to be no reason. At first I thought it was one of the other cars, but shortly realised that it was my car and went out to shut it up. Pressed the fob to unlock the car, it unlocked and the alarm stopped. I then...

How's that for a teaser title? Saab 9-3 Estate owner, low mileage, 2006. It failed its MOT on Monday, the left (rear) brakelight stayed on if you pressed the brakes then released with the lights on. This didn't happen on the right side nor did it happen on either side if the lights were off...

2003 9-5 Aero auto with ~65k on the clock. Recently whilst braking, when car gets to about 20mph it feels and sounds like the ABS is kicking in - brake pedal grumbles and judders a little, but car still stops as normal. I thought it might be down to the cheap mis-matched tyres that the previous...

Hi everyone, I'm a new saab owner of 9000CDE 2.3 non-turbo (1993) with trionic (?). The "check engine" light is constantly on. Tried to retrieve the EDU fault code, it blinks 4 times - mean, coolant temp. sensor. But the sensor seems to be OK, as well as the engine temp (according to the gauge...

Many folks like autumn for things such as football (North American style), crisp weather and colorful foliage. Saab owners have at least one other reason — turbocharging. Especially when intercooled. Here in North America, autumn weather is upon us. Just in time, too, since the autumnal...

Check the forecast for Detroit, Michigan for the next week — cold and snow. For those of you that use a rational scale such as Celcius for measuring temperatures, simply remember that 32 degrees Farenheit is the freezing point. Note that the temperature only varies a few degrees in either...

I currently have a problem where the engine doesn't want to idle at the normal revs, it seems to like about 3000rpm which is obviously causing a problem. I first noticed it on the motorway, I tried to make a normal change up and it obviously jerked a bit. It then 'raced' everytime I went to...

Hi All, My 9000 Anniversary's alarm has been going off intermittently over the last few hours for no good reason. I have no idea what's causing it. Can anyone give me any idea. My fob's battery is probably a bit low. But can that be a reason for the alarm to go off? Please can anyone give me...

Seems there's nothing safer than a Saab in a real-life crash situation, and if the Swedes say so, then it has to be true. 4cars

Bit of an odd one. Just gone to fetch something from the car this lunchtime, opened the door, could detect slight noise from somewhere... the speakers are hissing, even without the key being anywhere near the ignition or the music turned on. Started the car up, moved it to the other end of the...

The air cond on the V6 has been cutting out at times, needing ragas I thought, so I got the local air cond specialist out. Not needing gas the pressure is fine , no faults getting recorded either, after a good look he could only think the clutch gap was to big, even though it looked fine, so in...

Putting potential check engine lights or limp mode problems aside and getting into the true technical aspects of T7 cars, what is the real reason it is not a good idea to run a MBC on a T7 car? I am not starting this thread in efforts to "find an excuse" for using a MBC so please avoid simple...

Snigger... ahem

Can't believe my eyes. Read TGmag Sep2002 on the way to work today. Two page review of the Saab 9-3 by everyone's favourite northern irish motoring journo, Deidre Barlow, who actaully seems to like the 9-3 Sports Saloon! In the photo he even manages to get the fwd car stepping out at the back...
