Hi fellow Saabers, and back yard engineers. I have an '03 SE cabrio 2.0t. Of all the "how do I get the alternator out" questions this one has a twist. I've seen all the videos and looked it up on the Saab information site and prepared myself very well for the job before I ever started. Until I...

Hello, I’ve managed to strip out the top 8mm Allen socket holding in the alternator. I see no way of getting a drill in there to use an easy out in order to get to bolt out without cutting through the wheel well. Anyone have experience with this!!

Hey guys, new user as I just bought a 08 Saab turbo X a few weeks back. Love the car and drives like a dream, however, this morning the car wouldn't start, had some sort of clicking noise. There was power to the radio, and navi. Worked fine after a boost. When I turned it on again after a 5...

I am trying to diagnose an alternator issue for my 2003 Saab 9-3 ARC. My car is not warning me of a failing alternator via the SID system and yet I am not getting anything out of the alternator.

I was driving (2002 Saab 9.3) home from school on the freeway yesterday and all of a sudden all of the dash warning lights came on. I said to myself, "oh ****". Then I signaled to change lanes, but the signal did not work. Then I thought I probably don't have any brake lights either. So...

Last week I found that the positive battery connector of my 2001 93 SE full of oxidation and corrosion. Even I found drops of liquid which I think was acid. Before to replace the battery I want to be sure if it is the responsible or is the alternator voltage regulator which overcharging...
