Hello fellow saab lovers. I have a problem and would definetely appreciate some help. My 95 1.9 tid estate from 2007 just dies suddenly in the middle of the road/highway, the engine just stops running. The mecanic says that on the computer no codes show up, and everything looks ok! For some time now Ive noticed that the motor had some "hickups", but now it just dies! Ive noticed as well that some months ago the ABS lights and stability control light would go on randomly, dont know if both things could be connected! Well would definetely apreciate some insights, since I really love my Saab and ..read more

Good evening. I'm hoping one of you can verify something for me. My 2002 9-3 coolant is running a little hot at idle. I Recently replaced the radiator and thermostat from FCP Euro after a pin hole leak developed. The car has never pegged and did a combustion leak test to verify no exhaust gasses in the coolant. I Did a coolant flush and proper bleed. The car had the water pump replaced roughly 10k miles ago. Zero check engine lights or stored codes. Runs beautifully. 113k miles. If I leave the cabin heat on full blast she. will run around town 175-180? F and stay at idle in the same range. If ..read more

My 2008 9-5 Aero has traveled 280000 kilometers (approximately 175000 miles). I was preparing to travel a long distance, so I asked the technician to investigate the condition of the vehicle. I found that my engine oil is about 450-500ml less than the last maintenance, and it has been 5 months since the last maintenance and I have driven about 4500 kilometers. The technician said that the engine oil consumption is acceptable, but I still can't make up my mind and would like to consult with the experts. By the way, the engine has always been in good maintenance condition, using Mobil advanced f ..read more

Searched the forum but couldn't find my exact issue. I have been leaving a small puddle on the driver side of the vehicle after using my vehicle. About every week to two weeks I need to add coolant. I do not have a pressure tester but when I pro-actively replaced my water pump (and all hoses) at 220k I vacuum tested my system and did not have any leaks. I thought that maybe the fans weren't kicking on and I was boiling liquid out so I checked the fan circuit. What I originally found is that when I jumped the 396 relay the right fan kicked immediately on. When I jumped relay 155 neither fan cam ..read more

Hello everyone, I am looking for some advice, I apologise in advance for the long post and also that I am new to cars and the terminology so will probably get a few things wrong. I recently got my first saab about 2 months ago (9-3 2.0t sport wagon 2010) all the service history looked good, drove great and had done a few cross country trips alongside work commutes with no complaints. Got a remap done and it drove even better, then out of the blue after I dropped my gf off it went completely dead on me, with traction control failure and stability control failure flashing up on the display. Man ..read more

Spark plug on the front bank are black, replaced them, coils are new.... got code P0300 P0302 P0304 P0306 and P0018 I guess the origin of all this mess is the P0018, too much long chain, or defect variable phase system ? i have replace the Sensor and the actuator without any changes ( taken from a nice working engine ) But where i have a question, is about the Tech2 phasing test i can do the phasing modification on the bank1 ..read more
