  1. Tyres, Wheels, and Brakes
    Just had my front brake pads replaced. Now the car stops fine, but at the end of the cycle right before the car stops it jerks to a stop. It doesnt' matter how slow I come to a stop I now have this weird action, although it is a little better on a more gradual slower stop. Did the shop miss...

  3. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    I've been away, and come back to find a flat battery. Recharge it, connect, and the flashers start. Pulling fuse 22 stops the lights flashing, but I can still hear the relay switching happily behind the fuse panel. I have to guess it's a duff relay, but before I spend money and replace it...

    2001 9-3 SE (107K). I'm experiencing a drop in idle occasionally, but only after I accelerate slowly from a stop sign or stop light. Most often it happens on my street. There is a stop sign 1 block from my street. After the stop sign, if I accelerate slowly and stay below 25mph and then let off...

    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...

    Hi All Re. UK Saab Vector SportWagon 2.0T early 2007 Mechanic couldn't diagnosically find a problem with the car. But the engine shuts down after disengaging clutch, braking & coming to a stop. Most of the time though the rpm rev's drop well below idle than comes back up to normal. One...
  7. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    On Saturday, when driving on the Interstate at around 70 mph, the following message appeared on my Saab (2004, Aero). The car was running fine, no problems at all; no sound nothing. I pulled over and noticed that my oil was low. I went at picked up some Oil (but only 1 Qt, 5W/30), thinking that...
  8. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Hi I'm brand new here, and hoping someone can help. I am part of a team that runs a 1992 Saab 900 (2.1l) in the Chump Car racing series. For the last few races, we had a very hard brake pedal, and not a lot of stopping power. It turns out, that the car had ABS, and when it was built, they...

    i put l.e.d foglight bulbs in today in my 03 9-3 to replace the old stock ones and when the car is off the lights flash for a couple minutes(I read this is normal) but when i have my lights on with no fogs they still blink even with my highs on, any suggestions?

    All, I've got a 1999 Saab 9-3 with single zone electronic climate control. The climate control refuses to shut off after the car is turned off, and while it is running the fan speed is almost always on high (every so often it dips down to the actual fan setting). I've actually had the climate...

    Yet another thread from me, yet another problem... this time, my TTID. Was sitting with the car idling yesterday evening, talking to my mate at the side of the road, next thing i hear the rather polite 'bing bong' sound from the SID, it read 'Steering Lock Malfunc, Make a safe stop.' I drove...
  12. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I have a '08 9-3 which has what appear to be OEM mats in the front. They have two holes in each and there are two 'lugs' in the floor just in front of the seat, but there doesn't appear to be a way of stopping the mats from moving, the mats just lift very slightly and the holes pass over the...

    Hey all, I have a manual 2.0t 2008 Sports Sedan and I absolutely love it. Haven't encountered any problems but something strange has been happening. Lately, i notice the RPMs seem to be dipping below normal RPM levels when coming to a stop. When the car is in idle, it hovers about 800 RPM (not...

    Curious thing that's just started happening: - If I push in either switch for the heated seats, they don't always come on (also light in switch goes out rather than glowing brightly). - If the wipers, indicators or windows are running they freeze at this point. - Switch off seats, wipers...

    I have read through other post concerning this issue, but I can’t find the fix. At times I have water practically running out of the lower rear heat vents while the A/C is on. Both cooling fans seem to be working fine, both drain ports are clear and working, Today I replace the cabin filter...

    Hi New here so please bear with me. Warning light has been on and off recently, took off the EGR and cleaned it which helped for a bit as did the MAF sensor. But now light on most of the time, and turbo stops working, turn off and on again then it works! MPG down to mid 30's aswell, spoke to...
