Recently I had to open my trunk during a rainy night, and the following morning my radio started crackling whenever I turned it on, and my dashboard speakers lost functionality. However, besides that everything worked fine up until a day or so ago. During a drive, the radio started crackling...

I just purchased a 2008 SAAB 9-3 AERO cabrio with 89000 miles on it and while driving all the dash lights come on, gages stop working, and the car won't start when it's hot. I get the code U0212 for lost connection with steering module. Im extremely frustrated and the general mechanic I brought...

I got in my car two weeks ago after brushing a few inches of snow off my the windows and hood, and I tried to use the wipers to spray / wipe the rest of the flakes off. My passenger side wiper did just fine, but the drivers side wiper made a “pop” sound and didn’t move. I’m assuming it was...

I managed to break a stud. The one sticking out of the bottom of the converter. There's a nub left over. I tried a little to pound it up with a hammer and an air hammer, but I'm worried that I'm going to break the converter substrate loose. I also tried a tie rod tool to press it up, but it...

Hey recently after driving on my car hard I have experienced a problem with the turbo. I drive a Saab 2005 9-5 Aero and the car used to be pretty fast, all I have done to it is an open air intake with a K&N High Flow Filter on it. But now the turbo makes an extremely loud screaming like noise...

Hey guys. Just recently gotten in to a little fender bender in my 89 Saab 900 Convertible. Long story short, my fuel gauge is stuck in the middle and my low fuel light stays on. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you

My radio reception has gotten kind of bad over the past few months. This is on my 04 vert. So I decided to try replacing the antenna mast which is supposed to just screw on or off. I ordered a replacement not OEM as they are backordered. So it came today and I tried to unscrew the old one and...

So I ran into the problem of the exterior door handle not opening the door. I went to fix it and accidentally broke the "arm" to the driver side front door handle. I've looked for replacement parts and the only thing I can find is the whole handle setup for $100 minimum, which is too expensive...

Hit a nice pothole last week, and jacked up the car and found this :x Priced a new OEM set of springs, but are the OEM ones of good quality or is there a better aftermarket coil?. I was also thinking of replacing the bearing and maybe the top plates? Am I missing anything else? Does the...

Hello! I have a 9-5 that blows mostly hot air to passenger side. If temperature is set to lowest possible, it may sometimes blow also colder air, but mostly warm independent on the setpoint temperature on the panel. I read the fault codes by pressing OFF+AUTO, that showed error codes 1 and 10...

Needless to say, my air conditioning is not working. I have a 1-year old son and I dont think it's safe to drive him around on these hot summer days. I am trying to troubleshoot as much as I can before taking it to the shop. Here is what I have done so far: 1. Checked fuses. Underneath the...

Is this the catalytic converter? What problems can this cause? I already have an engine stutter/hesitation/bucking issue. Currently no cel (previous ones were lean condition and random misfire).

2006 saab 9-3 aero 2.8t manual... I know one is the condenser one is the radiator what is the third thing that looks like a radiator....is the radiator just huge or is it an intercooler?

This isn't a common thing apparently, but the other day while city driving, my 9-5 suddenly started acting like it was in neutral. I managed to get it over to the side of the street with my momentum. I checked oil, trans fluid, etc and the trans fluid was over full (the mechanic would later say...

I have an 04 9-3 linear. The turn signals don't work. They won't flash or make a noise. The emergency flashers work just fine. I can't turn my brights on either which leads me to believe that the switch is bad or disconnected. However, my cruise control does work. Any help would be...

Been wondering if there is any kind of pattern to gearbox failures. We know that fluid temp and case flex/stretch will cause a failure, but I want to get a little more specific. Please answer the following only if you or someone you know has had a catastrophic gearbox failure: What gear were...

Hi all, New to the forum but have previously owned a 900GM vert. I recently purchased a 2004 9-3 2.0t and the previous owner advised that the stereo (ICM2) simply stopped working a few weeks ago. The buttons light up with the rest of the dash but the screen is blank and won't fire up when you...

Neither of my blinkers will work, it just randomly started as I started up the car, tried to turn it off and on a few times and it didn't help. I assume it is a fuse since they don't work at all, but I look through the fuses and did not see any specifically labeled "blinkers". Does anyone have...

I've searched around this site and read up on rollers, regulators, etc. Not sure which one applies to my car. I have a 2007 9-3 Aero. So I shut my right rear door the other day a little hard. Didn't think anything of it. Went for a drive and noticed the right rear window fell about an inch or...

I have an automatic 2.3t eco 1999 9-5, I had been thinking my turbo was going out so I pulled my exhaust manafold off to get into the turbo to check the shaft for play and found none, but found white powder all in the inside? Any ideas? White smoke sometimes on start up, smoke from under hood...
