Hi folks - Phil from Bakewell here. A happy Saab man after getting my first convertible 18 months ago. But ... PING! Rear window crazed over - after a hard frost and sunny morning. (or someone took a pot shot). I have a replacement rear window glass now but I am struggling to find anyone with...

Hey, so I'm finishing the total front end and subframe bushing replacement and I missed the WIS part of "mark the position of the subframe'...and..."motor mounts to center the engine". The mount notes are made for the Left (which I haven't touched) and the Right (which I removed to replace the...

Driving along today and the rear silencer fell off the car! Thank goodness I wasn't going down the motorway, it held on by the rubber supports so I managed to pull it off and drive home, weirdly it didn't seem any louder.. It's rusted through where the pip goes into the box itself, can I buy a...

Hi guys. My Tid was leaking about 0,1L of coolant for every 5000km. Even though it was not that problematic, but I had to get it fixed. During last maintenance, a few days ago, I've asked to check it and the problem was the thermostat, which was replaced. Somehow even before driving the car I...

Hello folks, Happy New Year to one and all first of all. I've not been here for a while so hello to any new faces that have appeared since my last appearance, and hope everyone else is still in good health. As the title says above, i'm looking to replace my exhaust from the DPF back on my MY08...

Last time I changed my CV boots, there were quite a few guide notes on the subject posted around the interweb but this time, I notice a lot of them seem to have disappeared and so before I forget what I did, I’m making some notes. So this is the renewal of the outer CV boots on my 1997 Saab...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can advise me? I have a 9-3 convertible that I would like to sell soon and I thought I would try and fix any current issues. I occassionally get a "Steering Lock Malfunction" message on the display. I believe that the suggested possible fix is to replace the ignition...

Saab Folk, Anyone replaced a bad heater core on a Saab classic 900? I'm going to have to do the job. Can't find any instruction on the web. Actually,the hose connection on the fire wall are melted. Maybe a heater control valve is all needed to be replaced. Anyone care to inform me? Thanks, S.Medic

My intercooler inlet hose has split up at the engine block. It looks a bit tight to get at the intercooler/bottom end from under the bonnet. Is there better access by removing the bottom engine cover(s)? I'll need to tape up the split until I get a new one. Nice price ! Thanks

My check engine light came on and the Tech-2 diagnosed a short on cylinders 1 & 2. It has been cleared before, but it is unfortunately recurring. The car drives fine, absolutely no stuttering or shortage of power, but there we go. Workshop recommended replacing the DI casette, and estimated...

I tried doing a search on the forum but for some reason I could not find anything - maybe as I was doing it wrong? I need to replace the bulb that illuminates the P D R M 1 2 lights (or whatever order they are in) along side the auto gear lever - is it simple or is it a pig? I do not want to go...

Hi All Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the stereo connectors on a 95 9000 cse? It looks like its standard ISO apart from an extra yellow wire in the speaker block which has a 10 way connector block. Does the underseat amp have to be bypassed? I have scoured the forums but cant seem to get...

I'm told the fuel pump is probably getting tired in my 120K miles 1998 900 turbo, which might be causing the high rpm hesitation under full load. I've been quoted around £400 for this job at the garage (using a non-OEM pump) which is too steep for me spend on the 'off-chance' that this will fix...
