  1. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Got myself an OPCOM v1.99 with PIC18f458 chipset. The software came in a disk. Unfortunately my laptop does not have a CD ROM. I've tried like 5 different versions I've found online and I just couldn't get it to connect to the car. Some throw up errors when installing drivers, some install...
  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi all, I've been wondering what the normal MAF readings should be for a 2.0T? (Mines an '08, petrol, manual). I'm getting positive long-term fuel trims which increase with rpm, peaking around 1500-1750rpm (~14%) and then dropping down above that. I get ~+3% at idle and ~+6-7% at steady cruise...

    Good Morning, all Ive been having some issues with my 09' 9-3 2.0T XWD recently and I was hoping anyone on here would have an opinion on where to go. I have an esid2 and ever since I got the car, I noticed it has had a significantly higher misfire count on cylinder 2. The car runs pretty...

    KaMiKaZi_t0M et al., Tom, I miss your wise counsel and even better service (your invoices less so, but it’s a Saab, gotta pay to play!). Living in a flyover state that doesn’t know from Saabs, so just trying to keep it running. The ‘09 9-3 2.0T is slipping/hesitating/bucking when accelerating...
  5. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi all, I'm doing a full timing and clutch kit on my 07 2.0T with the 6 speed and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get a good clutch these days. The car is flashed stage 3 and I'm running 19PSI of boost so it needs to be relatively strong. I had a "stage 2" clutch from LUK installed and...

    I'm planning a 2.0T build with a 2.1 head and intake. What are the best cam options? Any dos and don'ts? Also, is a 2.0 head on 2.1 short block a viable option, either NA or turbo? Would minor porting, i.e gasket matching and opening runners a bit (without involving a flow bench) make much...

    Im working on a 2005 SAAB 9-3 2.0T Cabrio. Originally I would drive it and it would run fine until I take it on the highway then it goes into limp home mode, and throws a throttle code. so I replaced the throttle and it did nothing, then I replaced the MAF and it did nothing. then randomly a few...
  9. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So since the beginning of winter last year (2021), my fuel mileage has gone from a consistent 22-24mpg to about 14-16mpg At that time last winter my mpg had dropped to about 17-18. I called my mechanic to see if it was something that could easily be fixed before I have to go back to school and...

  11. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Good evening guys, I might sound stupid but I can't seem to find an adapter or anything so that I could run a oil temp sensor off the oil pan nut.
