9000 2.3 FPT Anniversary 1997 Manual 116k miles I had sudden clutch failure at traffic lights, clutch went to the floor with a bit of a bang then no clutch at all. Traced it to the flexible section of the clutch pipe from master to slave cylinders it had worn through by rubbing against the...

Hi all, I have a 1999 Saab 9-5S 2.3LPT. 105,000km on the clock. It was fully serviced 2500km ago. The other day, upon leaving work, the car started fine, i drove out of the carpark and onto the street, and suddenly my car began to shake quite badly. It is felt through the whole car. There was...

Hello! I have had my car for two weeks now and I am very much enjoying it! However, it seems to have developed a small fault. It has only done it three times and I have used the car everyday. I will be driving the car normally (not revving that hard) and will come to a stop at some lights...

Did anyone spot the yellow Saab Sonett in the 1983 Dirty Harry movie, Sudden Impact? It appeared during a street chase on foot..the mexican moustached baddy ran away from the scene of a crime as Harry pulled up. Harry chased him through a busy street before the bandit ran through an alleyway...

I've not been using the B234R for a while, apart from the odd 30 mile weekend round trip to Lakeside, but got back in at the start of this week and noticed something odd. If I'm cruising at 60mph and floor it to overtake, the car suddenly pauses (almost in thought) then jolts with a kick before...

This happened sometime ago…. When parking up from a drive, I selected reverse and noticed that there were a lot more vibrations felt through the gear stick than usual. Next time I used the car, sitting at idle, I felt that the whole car sounded slightly “boomey” and I could feel some slight...

Just a short post in case anyone else comes up against this fault. At the end of a long motorway run and attempting to accelerate out of the junction roundabout onto the A road, the car's 'get up and go' disappeared with the CEL coming on at the same instant. Normal speeds can be reached but...

On my way to somewhere about twenty yards inside the border between the place I live in (Bussum) and the next place down the road (Hilversum, well known to everyone with an oldish radio - sorry, wireless - set), my '93 CSE 2.3T auto conked out. Trying to start the engine again elicited the same...

Driving to work this morning I booted it to get past some lorries and hit the rev limiter in 2nd. After that there was a definite lack of boost and the gauge just makes it into the yellow. I can hear turbo whine, theres no smoke and I've just checked the re-circ dump valve as per Leon's...

OK, the car is currently sounding like a real nail, some major tappet noise going on. The car was pulling OK when I drove it, no loss of boost, but about 2 miles from home the check radiator light came on. Currently the reservoir looks just about empty, I checked the oil as well, it's not...

Hi everybody! My solenoid problem is solved (autom. transmission) but i have the new problem with my 9-5 (1999 2.3 Hirsch. When I switch on the ignition, the car is shut down prompt. If I open out the throttle in paralell with the ignition, the engine starts work. The spark plugs were checked...

My totally reliable (manual) '94 CSE has lost it's clutch. It was ok last time I used it, now the clutch pedal is "soft" and will not engage / disengage. But if left alone for 20 mins or so clutch pedal has resistance & gears can be selected. Master cylinder fluid level is ok. There is no sign...
