  3. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi all, Just got myself a 2002 9-5 linear 5-speed a couple weeks ago, my first Saab. Love the car so far but of course it's not perfect. Essentially the situation is that I thought I was buying a decent example that was pretty well looked after, but that hasn't turned out to be the case. I am...

    Have a 2001 9-5 4-cyl. Started it up yesterday, about 36 hours since it'd last been driven (Wednesday night) and...it didn't start. AAA came, gave me a jump.

    Checking in from northern Napa Valley, CA. Grateful for some help we've gotten earlier on suspension. Now facing fuel problems. I'll stick that in another thread. Also wondering about iPhone based diagnostic code reader/scanner devices and software. Guess I'll put that in another thread too.

    So, I have started my journey into the world of Saab! As a bit of background, I'm a commercial/instrument pilot that works in aviation engineering at Garmin, so I'm completely aircraft obsessed. Because of that, I quickly noticed aviation influences when I started looking into Saabs, and fell in...

    Just took ownership of my first Saab and I'm having trouble finding definitive answers to relatively simple questions. Help! 1. A prepurchase inspection revealed that I should replace my pcv hoses and breather box. I guess it looked old, brittle and dirty. I purchased the kit for a 2009 with...
