Hey folks. Collected my newly purchased 9-5 Aero yesterday, and have discovered an oil leak. Its on the drivers side of the engine (rhd). The subframe had oil all over it and so did the sump. I've noticed oil around the top of the engine as well. Is there anyway I can tell where its coming...

Hi I have an 02 105K on the clock 9-3 Aero convertible and today when I was cornering hard the oil light flashed on, I tried it again on the same corner and it seems to be consistent. Should I be worried? the car has a FSH and I've recently had an oil and filter changed (fully synth) It...

My 2001 3 litre petrol auto has just passed the MOT with no advisories which is good news and the third year in a row with no issues. My slight concern relates to the emission results, most seem fine and well within limts except for one. Results were: Natural idle: CO 0.01% (max 0.3%) Fast...

Hi I looked at a 900 today which was in pretty good condition and had very little rust apart from the engine bay which had quite a few rust spots dotted about, including the beams running along the base on the bay. I havnt heard of this being a common saab problem and wondered if it is something...

Bought the car some two weeks ago with the dent. And ive already got the same quote from two different places to fix it + two small rust scratches. Both places said that just filling it in would not look pretty, considering the car overall shape. so they recommended painting up from the...

Filled the 9000 up today right to the brim with petrol. When I got home one of my neighbours pointed out a strong smell of petrol. I looked under the car and there seemed to be a slight drip coming from underneath the car.I've just been out again and it's nearly stopped. I presume there is a...

Hi All, When I bought my 2nd hand 9-5 a few days ago, it came with a service. The car was from a garage that didn't specialise in any particular make, just sold and serviced cars. I remember them mentioning that it had been filled with semi-synthetic oil. Just noticed that the Saab manual...

Hi All This is my first post so please be gentle!!! I'm looking to get rid of my '02' Punto turbo diesel and buy a 9-3. I am reading a few reliability horror stories but having owned two almost faultless Fiats I don't always believe the hype. What should I be looking out for and which...

Been checking the car to try to get to the bottom of the lack of performance on my 2.0 lpt airflow and lo and behold the rod actuating the wastegate on the turbo was off ! Great thought I, remove heatshield for easier access and simply re-attach. Now here is my problem, the link bit...

My wife's new 2003 9,5 Estate has left a puddle of clean oil on the garage floor after just 1,000 kilometres. I suspect it may be (automatic) transmission oil. I'm a little freaked by this as I have had two 9,3 cabriolets and never had even the slightest problem with either. I'll take it into...
