  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello! Just wanted to see if this a common issue or if I just got really unlucky and I was incapable of finding people with the same issue. About a week ago I realized that my heated seats would turn on automatically while driving, or as soon as the car starts. I thought maybe I had messed with...

    Upon recently creating a hole in my muffler I decided to just cut it off to see the sound. It sounds great, but it has some intense drone while I'm around 2500 rpm. Currently, I have a loose tailpipe cut behind my bumper. I originally planned on just putting a straight pipe to the bumper and...

    Hi everyone! My name is Trystan and I'm a new owner of a 2008 Saab 9-3 TurboX. At the time of purchase it clocked 176,905 miles and, I hope not to jinx myself by saying this, it feels very solid mechanically. Exterior wise is a little rough, but it's first owner seems to have loved it well...
  5. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Recently I had to open my trunk during a rainy night, and the following morning my radio started crackling whenever I turned it on, and my dashboard speakers lost functionality. However, besides that everything worked fine up until a day or so ago. During a drive, the radio started crackling...

    Hi, currently my SID says a message along the lines of "self leveling headlight failure contact service". Currently my car is lowered to a scary level in my opinion; I'm constantly swerving potholes thanks to the pervious owner. But none the less I have ordered a coilover kit from Racing...

    Does anyone know or have an image for the bolt pattern for the camshaft bolts on a 2008 9-3 2.0T? I cant find it anywhere online. I could make an educated guess on what the order should be based on other 4 cylinder DOHC vehicles be but I'd rather know for certain if I could.
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have a 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0T, have a screeching like sound when I turn on the fan control. I suspect it's the fan blower motor. Went online to see where I can buy a replacement. Do I need one with auto climate control? Or w/o climate control will suffice? How do I find out? Thank you!
  9. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello! I am a very new owner of a Saab 9-3 Polar White sedan 1.8i from 2008. I have a problem with the AC not cooling. I have already planned a service in about a week, as it is illegal to perform AC service at home in my country. But I wanted to take a look at it before the service and realised...

    I have a 9-3 2008 1,9TID sportcombi vector. After 30 minutes of driving the low level warning comes. The steering rack is covered in coolant and it looks like a moshpit on a Heavy Metal concert inside the expansion tank when revving the engine. I cant see any obvious source of the leak. Any...
  13. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Recently the engine has started randomly turning off while driving. Electrical keeps running but I have to coast off the road. After a second or so the car will report "traction control failure" and "stability control failure". After turning off there is a fan running, I am guessing the...

    Anyone have a broken and/or not needed smart slot cup holder for the 9-3 that they would be willing to part with? I'm looking into putting it in CAD so that new ones could be made. Possibly with some improvements.
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Recently I took my 9-3 TurboX to the shop to do the airbag recall and have them look for my coolant leak. It's gotten to the point where I need to top off my coolant about once a week. The lines coming from the expansion tank are dry and whilst there was a small leak coming from the water pump...

    For the last year I have been watching all the AC issues in this forum, but frankly could not find anything closer to my problem so I decided to create this thread and please refer to any other one if you feel is duplicated. I got Saab 2008 9-3 2.0t sedan 4 doors (146K) and I have recently...

    Long time lurker but finally registering to eventually make an ad for some extra parts. Almost finished with my 2008 9.3 turbo.
