Hi all, Essentially a shop tells me my engine is ruined and I'm curious if they should be held accountable for ruining the engine when it was running when I brought it in. Long story: My 2001 9-5 was tapping a few weeks ago but I really had to get home, so I checked the oil level and risked...

I just bought my first Saab (a 2003 9-3 Vector) and I need a mechanic or Indi in Nova to help with programming my keyfob and possibly a few other issues. I just replaced the battery in the remote and the SID (is that what it's called) still says that the battery is low/dead. The key will start...

Whilst I had a pretty extraordinary and almost all-access tour of the Saab factory in Trollhattan last year, the one area I didn’t get to see was the paint shop. Naturally, this is an extremely delicate area and the fewer disturbances in that part of the factory the better. GM Next has put...

Ivan’s been whipping the designers into action and the Saab Design Shop has turned out a few new badges to fire your imagination. The first two are variations on the griffin badge shown earlier. The badge on the left uses a brushed aluminium finish and the badge on the right it a flat silver...

Recieved head with metal shavings in ports and yes the dummies reversed the cams. They told me O well everyone makes mistakes. I had to switch them out, They didn't even give me a cup of coffee for the inconvienence. Horrible customer service. Clearwater cylinder head, Clearwater Florida. USA

The current Trollhattan Saab shop is going to change in a week or so. The "Premium" shop that I'm currently using allows sales of multiple graphics on the same type of shirt, however the Premium shop also costs some money to run, so I'll be reverting back to a regular shop in just over a...
