    I'd like to upgrade my 2007 9-3 Aero (2.8T) convertible with a nice used or old-stock Hirsch dual exhaust system. Ideally I'm looking for the original asymmetrical system (left muffler bigger than right muffler) with 2.75" main pipe and a deep bend to fit around the bigger 61L fuel tank. But...

  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    This is my first post so I hope I don’t mess up. I just purchased an 2007 9-3 aero with 180k miles. So far I’ve driven 9k miles in 3 months and the car runs very smoothly. About 3 weeks ago I got a low coolant level warning light and when I checked the coolant it was actually low so I topped it...

    I bought my 04 9-3 about two years ago and the previous owner had looped the fiber optics due to a failed amp 1, I’m getting tired of how it’s sounding and I bought a decent used amp but I’m wondering if I can possibly unloop the fiber optics and just put them back into the wiring harness? I...

  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So I have an 07 9-3 Aero and like everyone else I guess I've discovered the Ignition Coil problem. Except it has taken me forever to discover that's what the problem is because every time I got the codes read they would always tell me it was a problem with my fuel pump. Finally I got the right...
  9. 9-5 Workshop
    Ok, so I have been looking at getting a SAAB 9-3 Aero (second gen), but I have seen the 9-5, but I don't know much about them. Could you please tell me the differences between the second gen 9-5 Aero and 9-3 Aero? Stuff like MPG, power, handling, safety, reliability, everything I need to know...
  10. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a great start to 2015! :) My 2006 9-3 Aero recently threw a P0496/P2187 code and figured it was time to change the EVAP purge valve. I live in a place where there aren't many shops that work with European cars (there's one a little drive away, but they charge...
  11. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have a Saab 9-3 Aero (2006) and the car sits pretty low compared to other models. Hence, my car doesn't do very well with concrete parking blocks, especially where there is no consistency in their heights. One of the screws on the undercarriage cover (front tire) apparently came off, and one...
  12. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi all, I got a 2007 9-3 Aero MT with just over 110 000kms. This event just happened today. My mom took the car out, came back told me everything was wrong. CEL wasn't on all the warning lights on the SID was appeared, car was "dinging♫" like crazy (ABS failure, ESP failure, etc) Car cannot...
  13. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi I just bought this car, 2004 9-3 aero, 140k miles. Already sunk over 2 grand in bringing it up to snuff. I just put in new ngk plugs, they're gapped properly, they are torqued down to 21 ft/lbs, the coil packs seem fine. Finished up, drove car around and it was driving much more smoothly...
  14. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello, I found a set of 6.5 x 16 x 49 wheels on Craigslist for a good price. I've read a bunch of different answers to this question. Has anyone had success with 16" wheels an Aero XWD or Turbo X? Thanks, Dan
  15. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Anyone know how to test the Aero coil packs with a multimeter? I get a shudder/shake at about 2k rpm when I stomp the gas. It seems most noticeable around high boost. I'm not getting any codes or CEL's so I can't pinpoint the cylinder. It seems silly to replace all the packs if it's just one bad...
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So I have a 2006 9-3 Aero. Everything was fine until yesterday I came up a hill and had to stop quickly behind a turning car. Problem was the brakes were not depressing. The pedal was unbelievably heavy. There was a lag until the pedal finally did depress and stop the car. I pulled over and...
