Welcome to the reluctant sale of my beloved 1991 Saab 900S 5 door LPT. I took it off the road last year with the intention of restoring it but due to recent health issues forcing me to give up my job I'm unfortunately no longer able to go through with it so I'm searching for a loving new home...

So probably for about 2 weeks now I've had this issue on start up. If I let it idle for too long, the engine will stop. It also did shake on startup the first few times it started doing this for about 15 seconds. After running for about 2 minutes, the smoke does not continue to expel. I am not...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum or if this has been posted before, I haven't found any posts that answer my question I found two 2008 Saab 9-3 Aeros (GCC spec) and one has a photo of under the hood and the engine says SAAB turbo, but neither have a boost gauge inside. I noticed that images of...

Hello guys, I’m after some much needed advice if possible please. I have blue smoke coming from exhaust after about 20 mins of driving car. If I stop and turn ignition off then start the car again it goes for a short while. Can also smell a burning smell when the smoke starts. Have been told it...

Bad month for my car...:mad: New oil pump Breakdown on motorway because of dirty throttle body Now dead turbo? After having replaced my oil pump I found the engine was whining a bit and I put it down to the new oil pump. It is very difficult to locate where the sound comes from but it is...

Hello Everyone, My 2007 Aero Convertable's rear view mirror is losing it's silvering around the edge, and whilst this doesn't effect the view rearwards clarity wise, it does look a bit tatty. Recently I had cause to visit a SAAB recycler for a battery cover and found Auto dimming mirrors of the...

Hi all, haven't got a Saab yet but will be looking at getting a 9-3 2.8 around 2006 year. My question is anything common on these to look out for or pay attention to when viewing? Also what are parts like to source in UK? Many thanks, Jake!

Hi I’m very close to buying a 2008 9-3 turbo x manual sportcombi is there anything I should watch out for? It’s got 98,000miles Thanks heaps!

Just become the owner of a high mileage 1991 2.3 Carlsson manual gearbox with TCS. When I got it the turbo was burning a little oil but still boosted OK.....I've had it a week and last night the boost stopped working.........it wont go beyond the yellow and is as flat as the perverbial...

Anybody into auto scavenging will find a met. green one ripe for the picking!

I just bought a 96 2.0 CSE, and after having it for 2 days, the turbo has gone out. The car drives fine, albeit a little sluggish, but other than that, there are no indications of a problem. The boost gauge is inop, so that doesn't help. Any suggestions on trouble shooting this? Thanks.

I know the answer really - but since I'm in a hurry to repair it, any opinions gladly received. The story tonight...worsening misfire on the way home. No1 plug oiled up. Replaced plugs and fitted spare DI unit...just got it fired up when smoke from turbo area under the bonnet.....oil dripping...

My 96 Aero ( manual ) has started to make a sort of high pitched screech when i start to accelerate hard and am well in boost. I am certain that the noise is from the Turbo and it sounds more like an air leak than anything mechanical. The car still feels fit and i cant see any loose pipes after...
