I just started driving my 2006 9-5 to work recently and there is some white smoke that looks like it's coming from near the turbo or around that area. Only happens at idle though and it's not alot it only lasts maybe a second or two. The smoke comes from the engine bay and not the exhaust and...

Greetings saab owners, I plan on buying a saab 9 3 with the 2.3t 230hp engine. I am not really a saab person, i wasn't interested in saabs before, but they are quite nice. From what I've read the 2.3t is the best to reach more hp - I would be happy with 300hp for a daily car. My questions are...

I recently bought my 2004 9-5 Arc 2.3T. The badge on my trunk lid says "2.3T". I've often seen "2.3t", "2.3T", and "2.3 Turbo" mentioned in various posts. What is the difference in the engines, if any, and am I correct in assuming that the badge on the trunk lid (boot lid, for you...

Hi Guys, I've just inherited my Dad's 1999 Saab 9-5 2.3T "EcoPower" as he's recently purchased a 2002 Saab 9-5 2.3T Vector. It's currently done around 160K and I'd like to enhance it slightly without slamming it and such. So really as my first post, I'd like to know some basic, modifications...

Sadly, my Saab died while on a family trip to Virginia.... we had it towed back to Minnesota for $1K (ugh!) and are now faced with either fixing it (turbo, head gasket, ignition switch, etc etc) for minimum $2600 (which is also what I still owe on the car!!!) OR selling it. Do you all...

I need to replace the engine in my 1995 Saab 9000 CSE. I can get one off of a 95' CS, but I'm wondering if that is the same engine as in the CSE. If anybody knows, I would appreciate the help.

Recently, our 2005 9-3 2.3T started send us a "refill coolant" SID message. Our mechanic checked the reservoir, and noted that the coolant was not noticeably down. We determined it was a faulty sensor. However, I've now started smelling the molasses-y smell of hot coolant or antifreeze, but only...
