  1. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hello, I have a 2003 Saab 9-3 Vector. I have been having what I am going to refer to as "turbo lag" issues. When I push the throttle to the floor in 3-6 gears I get an engine shudder and loss of power. There are no engine lights on, but I was told by a friend that it might be the wastegate...

    Anyone had the problem of the boot not opening electronically? The switch on the drivers door and the key both make something in the car click (like a relay) and the key fob activates the hazard lights when the boot button is pressed. I have had the boot apart to inspect the solenoid and the...

    Hi, I've been suffering various engine problems on my 05 1.9tid over the last few months. Done a lot of research on things but still have a few questions I can't find answers on. Hopefully the following will help others in the future. Basically my swirl flaps were shot, causing DPF related...

    Hi, newish Saab owner, picked up a W reg 9-3 2.2 Tid 5-door from ebay a few months back. Great condition, 95k, two previous owners. From time to time I get in, turn the key, and it won't start. I can hear a click from the solenoid(?) but that's all. I thought I'd diagnosed it as a bad +...

    Our 2002 9-3 SE Convertible Auto has a weird starting thing going on. A few weeks ago it failed to start - all the ignition lights were on but not cranking over. After leaving it for 10mins - it did start. I thought this was the Neutral Safety Switch. I removed and cleaned the safety switch...

    Hi All, I've been a fan of this site for a few years now, having found it to be an excellent resource for diagnosing problems/scaring myself silly throughout my time as a Saab owner. A few months ago I took the plunge and swapped my ailing 2.0 lpt V reg 9-3 for a shiny 2.2TID 9-5 estate (54...
  14. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    When I turn the key nothing happens for 30 or more seconds. Previous experience has led me to believe this is more likely the switch or the relay. But where is the relay? This would be easier to change so I may as well try it first? The starter looks clean as if new and one of the heat...

    Hi I just bought a Saab 9-5 1998 three months ago. The check engine sign is already on and the previous owner said it is just the solenoid which will not affect the car's function in any way. Right after buying it we drove the car for long distance drives an there was no problem at all...

    Lock on r/h rear door is lazy. Always last to lock and sometimes doesn't lock at all. Had door card off and oiled linkages. Plastic pivots ok. What i didn't do was check the voltage. Don't suspect an earth problem as G6/G8/G14 are earths for many other components, all ok. I thought the solenoid...
