  1. NG 9-5 Workshop
    Non-mechanically inclined friend has a 2010 9-5 4 Cyl FWD. All the issues and codes expected with a bad throttle body are present. After looking through WIS I still have a removal question (I am not close by his house otherwise I would look) Can you pull the throttle body out without removing...
  2. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello all, I’ve recently been unable to start my 2004 9-5 while the engine was still hot. The engine cranked (not suspecting neutral safety switch). I know this typically points to a bad CPS, but it’s already been replaced with a Bosch unit 6 months ago. The no-start issue propagated shortly...
  3. 9-5 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Hi. Has anyone perhaps fitted any more powerful brakes to the 9-5 02-09 than the 300mm 1 piston areo? I was thinking of something that has 4 piston brakes. I'm willing to do some sculpting and reworking if needed.
  4. 9-5 Workshop
    My boyfriend was driving his Saab 9-5 2.0t 2004 with no weird noises, and the when he started it the next morning there was a loud knocking sound. It did have oil pressure at first, but then the oil pressure lamp turned on and wouldn’t turn off again, not even at higher rpms. When we tried again...

Does anyone know if these sedan repair patches will fit on it? Or if theres any other option besides saabits? (Dhl shipping from saabits costs more than...
  6. Parts for Sale/Wanted - North America
    I was trying to sell them, but decided to offer a trade: You bring me a bottle of rum in Anaheim or Costa Mesa/Santa Ana, California, I give you two CV axles for a 9-5. You choose the rum, whatever you think the axles are worth. (My favorite is Zacapa, but I like all rum.) If you're not a rum...
  7. 9-5 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Hello! I've been working on Saabs for years, but i don't know much about the actual electrical system, the trionic ecosystem or how the car communicates. Currently looking into (dreaming about) swapping out the B235E and FA57 in my 9-5 2006 wagon project, with B284R, AF40 and XWD system from a...

  9. NG900 & OG9-3 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Hi, I have a 1995 Saab 900 SE with the B234i engine and I am considering swapping the engine with a more powerful one. I have looked at a 2000 9-5 with the B235r engine and wondered what the differences are physically? Do they use the same mounts? And if the transmission is a bit different...
  10. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello everyone. New to the forum here. I've always fancied the 9-5, (maybe because of playing with it in TOCA Race Driver 3) and the Aero wagon just seems like a seriously cool, underrated car. I'm currently in the process of selling my current car (it's an Alfa Romeo) and dipping my toes in the...
  11. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello, I am trying to solve a P0748 fault, so far I have changed the solenoids, rewired the section of the TCM loom that runs from the TCM to the solenoids, and have tried 3 different TCMs. The tcms are what confuse me. They are all from 2002 cars which I know are infamous for P0748 issues with...

    I just bought a 2005 9-5 with a Denso Navigation radio. Unfortunately I can't adjust the screen brightness or contrast with the on-screen menu. The minus (-) buttons work but the plus (+) buttons don't register anything. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix for this?
  13. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello All, I’m a long time Saab owner (two 9-5s currently) and have fixed many things on my cars thanks to this website. I’ve been a lurker for the most part but I’m really in need of some help with an interesting issue with my 2009 Saab 9-5. The central locking system started to not work a few...
  14. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello all, I've seen multiple posts about people converting their Dame Edna front-ends to earlier years, but I haven't been able to find information on the opposite. I got into a fender-bender in my 2005 9-5 damaging the bumper, hood, and driver's fender. There is a matching color 2006 Dame...
  15. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi, first post here, just wondering about what sort of modifications I would need to make to get the B235R out of a 9-5 Aero to 350-400hp? the engine has been removed from a crashed car. The mods already done to engine are: Wossner forged pistons Stronger chain guides and a full bearing and...
  16. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello! Long time lurker first time poster, looking for some help with my 2006 9-5. The car starts fine and runs well till it warms up, at which point it will start to surge up till it dies. This occurs in park and neutral as I took the car off the road to do some repairs, and it never made it...

    Hey! As you can see in maybe my first post(?) my turbo has gone bad and is soon to be changed. Ordered one from speedparts.se so hope that works fine. Driving a bit today though i noticed the loud turbo jet sound now comes at lower rpm’s than usual so now i can barely press the gas in without...

    Hi! Was just looking around in my engine yesterday and saw these 2 hoses that are a bit lose. First 2 pictures with el tape around it was all the way lose and smoking when i noticed it but put them together and did that to prevent the smoke or air coming out. The 2 last pictures looks like one...
