  1. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    https://youtube.com/watch/xLLjoFdNmG4? Any ideas on what this noise could be? I was thinking maybe the serpentine belt?
  2. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I recently replaced the belt in my 9-3's cassette mechanism. There's no manual on how to do this, so there was a bit of guesswork involved.

    About a week ago I noticed this weird noise coming from the drive belt side of the engine. It's gotten worse thru out the week. It seems to quite down after it warms up a little but it is still present. I found a guy that posted a video on YouTube of exactly what it sounds like. Drive belt...

  5. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    What's up SaabCentral, After spending a couple days last week replacing a weeping water pump, I got it back together and put the belt back on. The belt is maybe 7 months old, so I opted out of replacing it. But before replacing the water pump, my serpentine belt slipped off. I'm assuming a...

    So about an hour ago I lost power steering on the highway, and got the battery error light. I limped into a parking lot with steam billowing out of the car like you'd see in a movie boiling away all the coolant fluid... (Engine temp however was reading 40% if 100% is the hottest) I've pulled...
