  1. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Just bought my self another 9-5 2.2tid. Its a little bit tatty on the outside but hopefully will polish up ok. Was told it had an injector problem and it was no.2 allegedly by a saab garage. It smoked and ran rough and a little noisey. Anyway had a bit of a fiddle and swapped the EGR as this one...
  2. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Dear all, Hoping it may be of some help to someone now or in the near future. I explain one problem I've been suffering with my Saab 9-3 Cabrio since I bought it (December 2008). From time to time, in the control panel it showed the message: “Complete soft top operation before driving”...
  3. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Ok, so Ive had a 9-3 Vector Sport 150 for 4 years and since I bought it I had noticed issues building. At first I couldn't associate it with the DPF. I explained the symptoms to a number of garages including a saab garage and no-one pointed the finger of blame at the DPF. It wasn't until I...
  4. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I might be being slightly jumping the gun here and jinxing it all... but I've replaced a sensor on the wife's '06 1.9 TiD 120 and it seems to have solved the running problems we were experiencing. Every now and again, the Engine Management light would come on and we'd lose turbo pressure and...
  5. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Hi everyone, I wrote a thread on here a few month ago about the issues i was having with my 2002 saab 93 covert. It would not start when warm it would only crank but not fire up. I know alot of people are having this problem. Well the problem is now fixed !!!!! I started by changing the less...

  7. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Many thanks for this awesome forum. yesterday after 8 months of searching why my wifes 2002 aero has this lazy acceleration and mid range rpms aren't as smooth at is use to be. My story started when water pump just blew up right in front of me at the parking lot. After replacing it car run great...

    Hi, I have had an anoying rattle near my right ear since i had the car. Tried tape on parts of door that may touch when shut, spray lubed all gaps i could find but it still wouldnt stop. I realised that it didnt do it if the door was open. obviously not on her majesties highways ! Anyway - I...
  9. Help, Advice, Saabs and Motoring
    I'm a newbie to this site, and to Saabs, so I have been reading a lot of the forum threads with interest. It is surprising however the number of threads where the OP doesn't report back once advice/possible solutions have been offered. I think this is owed to those who do help - I'm already...
  10. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Just to let you know I am now a very pleased Saab driver, I have had this very annoying knocking coming from the front of my car (2005 9-3 vector 1.9 tid) for a while now and reading on this very informative forum I was thinking I had the dreaded broken spring problem, so I decided to get it...
  11. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi, I think I have cured the intermittent fault now.One of the earth cables goes under and up the side of the battery.It connects to bodywork with several other smaller black wires by a large bolt. When moving this cable,the fault went,so I...
  12. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hey everyone, ive posted a few times about the problems ive had when a crunching front suspension. Ive had my car into several different garages with this same problem but nobody could find a problem. Well until 1 garage said " ive seen this before". in my defence id heard this may times before...
  13. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi I have asked many questions in this forum in the past year about the possible reasons for temp gauge problems. The symptoms on the car was that the temp gauge stayed at 8 o'clock position at times, 9 o'clock position at other times. Sometimes it would even randomly jump up and down between...
  14. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Have had a rattle in my drivers side door for a couple of months, nothing more than being bloody annoying when shutting the door. Being a bit of a perfectionist I decided to deal with it, and for the beginners like me give some sort of guidance to the door card removal. No, it's not difficult...
  15. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Thanks for everyones advice on my misfire problem,which I am glad to say,has now been rectified.Took my 9000 to a local chap,an ex saab techno apparently,and discovered the culprit to be the crankshaft sensor.He got me a secondhand unit around £60.00,alas,the idle control also had to be...
  16. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    For some time I had a metallic 'pebble in a can' rattle coming from the back of the car. I tried all the usual suspects, exhaust heat shields, door trim, boot springs, light fittings etc and nothing worked. I eventually traced it to the seat belt buckles on the rear bench. It was the internal...
  17. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    My 98 9-3 TiD has suffered from poor performance/slugishness for some time. A Saab independent suggested a new air-mass meter, but a new one didn't solve the problem. He later suggested EGR or the catalytic converter or the fuel pump (very expensive!). I took it to a Saab main dealer and they...
  18. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    A few weeks ago I posted about a couple of times when my wife was driving the car and strange electrical things happened like the indicators and electric windows suddenly failing to work followed by other electrical glitches. Anyway I replaced the battery which was on it's way out anyway and...
  19. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hello, 1994 9000CSE 2.3t FPT. Both electric seats decided to stop working in all planes of movement along with the horn at the same time?! Probably not linked but strange nontheless, have not discovered any other failures. Their fuses are ok. Discovered the headlamp wipers fuse had blown, on...
