Hi. I have 2004 9-5. Original owner. Past few years it seemed like the car would get slightly rough during idle, then smooth again, then rougher again while the vehicle was stopped. Replaced DIC a while back due to check engine lights, and those have remained clear. The other day the...

Always been this way but I have noticed it more as I have been driving the wifes golf while trying to remedy my EGR issue. Is this a common thing or can I do some upgrades on the ARBs to improve things? It passed an MOT last month so I doubt any bushes are excessively worn.

Hi, After a service last week at 126,000 miles on my 2004 model Vector 2.2TiD 53 reg, the service completed OK, I collected the car and drove home. After a couple of short journeys, I did a return trip of 330 miles mostly motorway. On the return leg, I started to notice a droning/thrumming...

Hi all, A few days ago I changed the vacuum hose that comes directly out of the front of the dump valve back to the manifold. The hose I removed was completely perished and split so would have been utterly useless at doing whatever job it is supposed to do. However since then im experiencing...

Hi all, My 2006 9-5 has a problem (it's done 41k and is regularly serviced). I think my wife is to blame as she has some kind of electrical discharge which means she blows the fuse on the oven (about 5 a week) when she touches it and constantly shocks people by touching them. We swapped cars...

Hello, Car's a 9-5 Aero Estate from 2008. Standard (summer)tyres are 235/45 17" and recommended wintertyres are 215/55 16". I've "inherited" a set of wintertyres but in size 225/55 16". I know from the "kouki" website that there'll be a different rolling diameter of about 3%. Would these...

Okay so I really love taking care of my poor old saab and I am really panicking if anything seems to be going slightly wrong with it. So my question is today I was driving on the highway home from my mall and this 2000ish ford mustang pulls up beside and challenges for a race, I ignore because I...

Have noticed since I have had it (2 years plus) that my now 140,000 mile 2001 3 litre petrol auto has a slightly rough idle. It seems to idle at about 725-750rpm. (it is difficult to be precise) when warmed up and there is a slight but noticeable vibration, not severe but not the silky smooth...

Hi there, Every now and then, perhaps once every six or 8 weeks, I have an odd issue, whereby I pull up in the office car park (don't ask me why it always happens at the office, just coincidence I guess), get out of the car, press the lock button on the fob and the lights flash activating the...

Hi All, The steering wheel on my car has been slightly offset since it was tracked a while ago. I can't easily take it back to the place that did the tracking as it's not nearby. It doesn't pull to one side at all, and I've no reason to suspect the toe, camber or castor is incorrect. Am I...

I’m sorry to be acting like the harbinger of doom today. It’s just the way the news seems to be flowing. But hey, Saab sales in Russia were up 90% in Q3 of this year!!! That’s got to be a good thing? And there’s more good news, too….. Saab satisfaction in Germany A recent poll of car...

I’ve posted a number of Turbo X delivery stories now and I’m always pleased to do so - this is a really important rollout for Saab and the impressions left by this car are going to generate a lot of word-of-mouth and excitement for the future. But I digress….. Most Turbo X stories are pretty...

As above - my steering wheel is slightly off centre, so that with it dead-level the car steers slightly to the right. If you take your hands off the wheel with the car in a straight line it carries on straight; and it doesn't pull either way from a straight line under hard braking. Am I...

Hi, On my 9-5 Aero Estate over the years and 102k miles I've predominantly used Michelins but have also tried Bridgestones, Goodyear and Pirellis. The Michelins have always lasted the best and seemed to perform well. However, recently, I've suffered badly from what I thought to be a wheel...

Hi folks During the last few days the windows on MY97 9000CSE with ACC started to mist up slighlty. It occures mostly after the engine is warm and it starts to blow warm air (outside temp. -25). I also get a smell of alcohol (washerliquid) smell inside of the cabin. This isn't normal, I'm just...

Whilst checking for reasons of poor brakes I have noticed the brake master cylinder/ABS valve block/pump unit moves slightly towards the engine when pushing the brake pedal hard and the pedal feels springy. All the servo and MC bolts are tight. Does anyone else have this problem, is it normal...
