Hi guys, new member here, I bought a saab 9-3 off one of my friends who was thinking of scrapping it after the fuel pump failed. I stripped out a fuel pump off another saab 9-3 54 plate which was a write off but the vehicle was starting and driving. This is where the fun begins. Unfortunately...

I drove our Saab 9-3 sports estate (2006) this week only to get an ABS error not long after leaving home, and a grinding noise when applying the brakes, (ABS kicking in) it was very intermittent and the speedo I could tell was registering an incorrect speed, after a few miles it pinged a bigger...

Well, it appears my new (to me) 2003 Linear has decided to christen my ownership by having the water pump grenade on me. I'm not used to modern cars by any means, this is the newest one I've ever owned in fact. I've always been able to work on my cars myself, somehow I've managed to avoid having...

Hi all, So I ordered the Bluetooth parrot ck3100 kit as I have seen many SAABs use them. However, upon dismantling almost the entire dash, glove compartment and passenger side panel I'm none the wiser with regards to the connections that came with the kit. Evidently it isn't just plug and...

Apologies for yet another thread about DPF problems with a 1.9 diesel. Its a 2007 9-5 Estate. I've had the car just under a year and have had lots of problems with it sooting up, the EGR and MAF have been removed and cleaned and I have had the manifold cleaned out as much as you can without...

Hello All. Finally getting around to sorting rear and headlight wash systems, I find :- 1) that although nozzle and the tubing to the rear is clear now that I've taken out the non return valve near the pump, it will only work when I connect it to the Front screen outlet on the pump, which is...

Hi I am back! I now have another 1995 9000 Aero with 92K on the clock - not TCS this time. Just broke down - dead stop from 50mph. Had been running fine BUT I had noticed the odd hesitation under load the last few drives. AA called. DI cartridge OK. Fuel problem? The pump has been much noisier...

I'm wondering if anyone else on here is suffering the utter frustration I am with my '04 2.2 TiD, I had my turbo replaced about 6 months ago as it was leaking oil onto the MAP sensor, triggering limp home mode, since then the problem has continued, with the code p0106 & p2227 showing up, so had...

Hi Have just noticed that both my central locking and the electric window have stopped working (the switch is also not illuminated) on the rear passenger door. Is it coincidence or are they linked and what can an amateur with a Haynes Manual do? PS Just noticed on the back on my Haynes that...

Got a clicking sound which sounds as if plastic gears are jumping. This happens about 15 mins after starting from cold, I suspect at about the time it takes to warm the interior of the car to the set temp. At this time the blower goes dead at this point regardles of settings, clicking continues...

Having acquired a 1.9 TiD Edition last March I now find that on the coldest of mornings the engine sounds extremely 'lumpy' for a minute or two at cold start . It is about 16 years since my last diesel (Isuzu 3.1 L Trooper) and I cannot remember that being the same. My main concern is that a...
