  1. 9-5 Workshop
    If this makes no sense, believe me, I'm just as confused. So, to start at the beginning, I was coming home on an unusually hot day a little while ago after making a small trip on surface streets. Everything was fine, the car was at temperature, and I went to pull into my parking place when...

    Hey! Tried looking around but didnt see a post about just a casual oil change. Im thinking of doing this myself and was wondering if people have some order of doing an oil change on a saab.

    I got the dreaded RADIO CODE message on my OG9-5. Sounds like I'm going to have to pull the trigger on buying a Tech 2. I saw from other threads that this site is recommended. But I'm having trouble figuring out what I should get. What package should I be buying? Do I need a laptop with the...

  7. 9-5 Workshop
    Having the same problem I have no idea if I’m way underfilled or way overfilled. Bone dry or Fully wet readings and my dipstick will even shoot out atf at higher temps, yet I have filled it with way less than I took out. If anyone can help it’d be great

  9. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi all, working on an 02 9-5, no heat/cool temperature changes on the drivers side. ACC codes initially were 06 and 13, the 13 has now gone away, just 06 now. The TL;DR is - Does code 06 always indicate a bad stepper/blend motor? I held it while running several calibration tests and felt...

    After some researching I’ve come to the conclusion I could probably use some advise... So I’ve fitted a Joying android head unit to my Saab 9-5 2006 1.9 TID model with 7 speakers and the factory amp located under the fuse box on the drivers side (RHD). I believe it’s the AS2 audio setup. The...

    As the title says I have a 2008 9-5 and am in search of the seat leather and foam with working seat heater pad for the drivers (left) front seat . Would be interested in whole seat if disassembly is an issue as long as you're reasonably close. Black would be a plus but really will take any color...

    Hey, I'm Jack. Got into Saabs since I was a kid. My father used to repair Saab Scania trucks overseas. When he came over he switched his career to fixing cars and has decades of experience going back to so many models. Suffice it to say, I took after his footsteps and became a master tech and...

    Hello, I'm driving 2003 9-5 Aero. She drives cool and everything is fine except shitty brakes. When I brake hard(hard enough to activate ABS), suddenly front RH brake locks up. Even I pull the brake pedal off, brake is keeping locked up for a sec, and then released. It seems like rear LH brake...
  15. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello everyone!!! I newly acquired my 2002 Saab 9-5 vector 2.0t 185 and I absolutely love it. When buying the car, I knew it had an oil leak which my mechanic told me came from the oil pressure relief valve. When I first got the car I replaced all filters and did an oil change along with new...

    Trying to find the closest longest lasting cassette to stock, and came up with two options. eSaabParts has one for sale but it's not SEM. Link here. Second option is Rock Auto's NGK. From what I've been seeing, some have said NGK made the original cassettes. Link here. I want the closest...

    I noticed my side dashboard fuse panel only has 7.5amp - 30amp, where all online information recommends 5amps, and some say 1-30 on generic forums. (Not specific to my camera). The dash cam is a Viofo A119 V3, and it comes with a fuse tap for “always on fuses” and one for “on when car is on”...

    Hi, My 2003 9-5 with paddle shifters was all good until I sent away my SiD to be repaired. The guy had all sorts of personal issues and it was delayed so he just sent me another one. It is throwing a transmission light on the dash and the paddle shifters no longer work. I've read this can be...

    Just had a CEL come about then immediately disappear. According to another forum it could just be the DIC acting up? The car is a 2006 9-5 Wagon. Anywho it was raining pretty hard for whatever that’s worth. I was sitting at a stop sign and did a power slide, riding out first gear until it...
