Hi, I recently bought a used 2005 9-5SAAB which has now developed a number of problems - Driving home last weekend the orange 'Engine' light came on and, within 20 minutes, white smoke began to pour out of the exhaust. I called the AA patrol and they diagnosed the following problems:- *...

Hi there, I'm a young guy who grew up on Saabs (dad drove an 88 9000 5 door, mom drove 93 900 convertible) and has always had a passion for the classic style 900 turbos (but my true passion is in the 99 turbo...who's isn't??). I have an opportunity this summer to get some financial help in...

Chaps, I wonder if anyone can help here. Four years back I was in love with a 9-5 Estate, then followed a year and a half of pain whilst I replaced components on an almost weekly basis, it seemed. Eventually I sold her and have regretted many things about that decision ever since. One of...

Hi I'm new to Saabs and i am sure there have been countless of these threads but i shall produce another. I am going to go and look at an 03 9-5 vector 2.2tid at the weekend. It seems to be pretty well speced with satnav, part leather etc... It has done 134,000 miles. I called my local Saab...

Greetings all, I'm a Saab newbie, having just purchased a black 900S. Neat! This is going to be a fun car to get used to. My first delighted surprise: The headlights turn off when you remove the key so that you don't forget and run your battery down. Nice engineering! This must be asked...

I am from "over the pond" as many of you chaps would put it - I'm an admin on saablink but know there are MANY more V4 owners on Saabscene which may be able to answer my call and request. I recently bought a 1972 Saab 96 that runs and drives with all good glass and a complete interior in nice...

Hello all, I am new to Saab, and new to this forum. However, I would really appreciate some beginner's advice. After the hassle of registering on this site (boy was it painful, you've done this wrong go back and change etc...) I would appreciate some advice. I acquired a 95 Aero 2002 (should...

This site can not only computer design your headers, but also offers this very nice tech article on header design: http://www.burnsstainless.com/TechArticles...ory/theory.html There's also a book it reccomends you looking into. Given the "do it yourself" nature of many of us C900 folks...

Now I can imagine the types of sarcy response I might get to this but will give it a go anyway Mrs Fliptop has a 2000 V40 1.8XS with about 66K on the clock. I was having a quick look underneath last night to investigate a small clunk I can hear from the front end, and two possible causes...

A bit of a long shot maybe, but does anybody out there happen to know the whereabouts or fate of my dad's 99 Turbo? It was a red two-door, registration number FAM 222W. I last saw it 10-15 years ago, still in the Swindon area. I'd be very keen to know if is still on the road, or even for...
