  1. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    I crossed paths with a gentleman in China of all places who spent some time as a stylist at Saab back in the day. We were comparing Saab stories when I brought up the amount of torque steer in my 2002 Viggen coupe. He pointed me to the write up about it below. My question is, any one have an...

    I have a bluetooth ELM-327 OBD-II reader connected to my phone with Torque Pro. All the readings look pretty sensoble but I can't fathom what's going on with the Inlet Manifold Pressure on my 9-5 2.3t Vector (LPT). Engine off it sits at ~14.5psi, exactly where I'd expect at atmospheric...

    Valve,cam or rocker...Not sure of the official name, but regardless, one is leaking. I can't find the fastening torque anywhere and I'm hoping someone can help here. On more modern vehicles the gaskets are normally fitted dry although there are some cars, like a BMW e39, I once owned, which...

    9-5 2005 manual petrol Mine is slack on the engine side - ok on the subframe side. Has anyone fitted the powerflex bush(es) and how do you find them for vibration. I assume it sorted the slackness> Any info appreciated. Dave

    Hey everyone. I have one of the first Steering clamps for my car from MP Performance .. not sure where they are nowadays.. but their steering clamp worked well on the standard tranny setup for a ng900. I now have a quaife LSD tranny.. and probably double the power. Does anyone have any advice...

    I've got a 2.3 HOT aero -2007, 35K miles. I've noticed a few times over the past couple of months that there is a lack of power/hesitation sometimes when accelerating. The time it's most noticeable is on a motorway at about 70mph in top gear. Put your foot down and the acceleration is very...

    My pads and discs look about ready to change. Just checked my Haynes manual for specs and it says the torque for front caliper bracket is 210Nm + 30deg, rear 130Nm + further 45deg. The front torque seems incredibly high - more like the kind of value to hold hub nuts on! Does anyone please know...

  20. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    I’m going to replace the bushes on the rear torque arms (with Superflex bushes), & once the job is done the final tightening of the torque arms obviously needs to be done with the wheels back on the ground. My question is… how do you access the bolts to do this once the cars back on terra firma...
