To start I apologize for the dirty care, if its any excuse we have had on and off snow for over a month. Here are some pictures that may be useful I have had two audio issues with my 6 speaker Saab 9-3 2003 SE for as long as I can remember. Firstly, the right front speaker was blown out and none...

My 2003 Saab SE Convertible has about 80K miles on it. I was driving it one day when it unexpectedly stalled. Since I have only gotten it to start up a couple times, after hitting the key out of anger it started right up, so I assumed the ignition switch was the problem. However I just replaced...

I just bought a 1999 Saab 9-3 SE Convertible with 117k. This is my first Saab although not my only non-mainstream vehicle as I used to own a '79 Lancia Beta and a '79 MG Midget. :) It is black on black and has an automatic. It is a very nice car. Everything works on it, although there are a few...

I am blacking out my 9-3 so that there is really nothing but black and red on it. I chose to use plasti dip because you can just peel it off if it doesn't turn out well (or you want to change the color), but the stuff is amazing. It's a blast to work with and very forgiving while spraying. I...

Hey everyone, I have a 2002 Saab 9-3 SE 5 speed manual. Of the course of maybe 2 months or so the car would make a weird hissing sound when started. The sound would last for about a minute or so before dying down. The sound would also go away at times when the clutch or the brake has been...

Hi Over the last couple of months I've noticed a noise when starting. Best way to describe it is a sort of metallic "zing". It starts just as the engine catches and lasts for 1-2 seconds max. Once the noise is gone it doesn't reappear on any startup or while running until the car has been left...

Hi guys. Complete noob here. My wife has a 2002 9-3 SE manual that we were thinking of selling but have decided against. She took really good care of it and we would not get equal value. Anyways, I've started tinkering with it a bit. I replaced the rear anti sway bar after reading through...

1999 Saab 9-3 SE So i had some friends in my car two nights ago and (i guess) one of them put too much weight on the right rear window when it was down. Now, the window sits lower than the normal height of the other one when it is all the way down. It doesn't roll up or down but NOTE: i can...

What two hoses may have been swapped so that exhaust comes into the cabin (the interior of the car) when the fan is on? What other possibilities would force exhaust into the air system of the car? This is a recent issue after exhaust work was done underneath the car to fix a hole caused by...
