I recently acquired a 2001 9-5 Aero with a busted trans from my mechanic that I'm planning on parting out/using as a parts car for my '02 9-3 and my dad's '02 9-5. But what I really want to know is how many of the parts from the 9-5 will fit my 9-3? I'm already planning on swapping the seats...

Hello all, I figured it was about time for me to post an introduction (and get my post count up :lol: ). This is my 2002 9-3 SE (really hoping that pic works lol...) Still mostly stock (aside from GS engine and trans mounts), but my plans for the car include; -coilovers (anyone have...

So my 1993 900s 16v seems to have a mind of it own. firstly i started noticing a hard starting problem but i figured it just needed a tune up. so i started replacing things, i replaced the plugs, cap and rotor, mass airflow meter throttle position sensor and coolant temperature sensor. now its...

My Saab has a parasitic drain on it and I cant figure out where it may be happening, if you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

Does any one know what the diameter is for the freeze plugs on my 91 Saab 900

Evening everyone! My name is Nick. I'm 29 and live in Northern New Jersey. I've always wanted to own a saab, and I'm currently without a car. The engine on my 05 honda recently quit, so I'm looking to try out a saab. Like I said, I've ALWAYS wanted to own a Saab, and I believe I've found...

So the other day i started hearing a strange rattling noise from my 1991 900, she's a four door with a manual transmission. I came to find out that the splash shield on the back left wheel was loose because it had broke free from two of the bolts that held it to the brake caliper. I have removed...

So a week ago I got in my car and 10 min down the road I noticed it was really hot! Then i pulled over and check the oil ( i have an oil leak that requires I need to poor in more nearly every month) and it was very low, below the minimum. I pored more in and let it sit for 30 min then took off...

So I just bought a used 03 9-5 Linear with 117000 mi for $2800. Any tips you could give me would be amazing. I just bought it about 2 hours ago. It is sitting in the guy's driveway until I get it insured and registered tomorrow. My plan is to make an appointment at the local indy shop to get...

Hello Everyone, I am going to look at a 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Sedan with 80,000 miles this week. I have never owned a Saab before but have owned BMWs, mercs, toyotas, and hondas. I also am a pretty handy DIYer and will usually do difficult diagnostics at a shop and then perform the work myself...

I'm looking to buy a 9-5 wagon with 109k miles. The seller has it listed at 3700 but blue book is like 1100 on the thing. Any question or concerns about 9-5's in general? I imagine the final price will be substantially lower considering the blue book value? This will be my first Saab so what...

Hey! I posted on here a couple of months back asking what I should look out for on an old 900. Since then I've test driven one near me (gold one, on ebay) but decided that it wasn't for me. Clutch wasn't right in my opinion and the interior was looking rough! But, i've found another, more...

Hey guys, I'm reaching out to a forum that I haven't put anything into, I hope that is at least mildly tolerated around here ;) I drove a '99 9-5 yesterday. v6 turbo, 140k miles. Felt great. The car has had a new water pump, t-stat, belt, tensioners. The paint is in pretty bad shape. maybe...

Hello all, I'm looking at a '93 900 turbo, $150k miles. Can anyone tell me what it's like to own one of these cars? I own a '66 corvair, and can do my own work. I am not an expert mechanic, but so far I have done all my own work. Will this car constantly need to be worked on, or just...

Evening all. Hoping someone out there can give me their opinions on three 93s (all 1.9 Diesel) that I'm going to view next week with a view to buying. Below are the links listed to the Ads for each. I'm thinking cash in my back pocket the week before Christmas will give me some extra bargaining...

Hi! I've been looking at a nice 9-3 Aero with the turbocharged V6, it has about 30k miles on it. It is a lease turn-in. This will be the first newer car I've bought, and first from a dealer. I was wondering what to look for in this particular situation. I'm a little worried about it having...
