  3. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi, I have a problem with the dash lights. Sometimes they work, and sometimes not. I'm taking about the speedometer and hazard button + cigarette connection. Had to resort to a small led light now at night times, not only for not getting a speeding ticket but its just strange driving with...
  4. Saabscene: Performance
    So I bought a 2004 9-3 linear just over a month ago now, and prior to buying it I had a mechanic whom I never used before check it over and he said that everything looked great. He either lied or didn't detect the issue I'm having. I had my previous mechanics take a look after I had no success...

    This is not a part Question, but rather an inquiry. Seems that when I start the car, the reception on my OEM radio is static and noise. I shut off the engine and the radio is clear and loud. I start the engine again and noise and static again. I pulled the radio checked the wires, the antenna...

    Hello everyone. I have a 2006 Saab 9 3 2.0 t, that I absolutely love. My biggest issue is that I cannot find ANY professionals to work on my car within 180 miles. I, like many of you, I'm sure, love the way my car drives. I am willing to do the work, locate and find parts and do the research to...
  7. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hi all. Just bought a 2004 9-3 Arc with 54K mi on it, and shortly after I brought it home, I had this problem. Either the SID & stereo both work . . . or they don't. It's hit or miss: sometimes they work when I turn the car on, some times not, and sometimes when it doesn't work and I'm...
  8. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hello - I drive a 2006 9-3 TiD Sport 63K. I had a noisy clutch so replaced the flywheel and slave at the same time. When it came back the bite point was quite low but seemed to get better after driving (pumping). On a long motorway trip from Manchester to Bath the clutch got progressively weaker...

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and was wondering if anybody could help me please. I have a 1998 Saab 9-5 with ACC. The blower motor has been vibrating quite badly for around a year or so whenever the fan speed is set to between medium speed and high. Yesterday, the fan just stopped working...

    I recently purchased a 2004 Saab 9-3 Linear. After inserting a CD to test the player, it worked fine. When I try to eject, it does not provide any feedback or action. I cannot hear the player attempting to eject the disc, and the SID does not give me any errors. I think it may be the contact...

  17. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Hi All, I’d be really grateful for some advice, please. The other day I noticed that my offside (right as I’m in England) headlight was out but the main beam is fine as are the sidelights. I’ve googled and found comments from others on GM 900s and 9-3s if I remember aright suggesting it could...
  18. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    The ACC ' Fan ' on our 95 2005 Aero - works totally randomly - it runs for a while and then stops and often it doesnt run at all than it starts up again. Could it be the Fan Speed Controller - or possibly the ACC Control Unit - anyone had a similar problem ? ? ?
