Hi all, Just finished replacing the head gasket on my '89 900, all went reasonably smoothly. Just a couple things to sort out, which may or may not be related. Firstly, my temperature gauge is no longer working (stays on cold), however the thermo fans seem to be working. I was under the...

So my ignorant self from 6 months ago didn't know there was a difference between the orange and green coolants. So I topped off the coolant in my 2005 9-3 with green. Seeing as it was November in Minnesota, I had no issues with cooling. Fast forward 6 months, It is now April and my car has...

Hello all, I'm having an issue with my 2001 9-5 aero. The car started leaking coolant a few weeks ago so I've been filling it up every 4 days or so when the fill coolant light comes on. I got under the car and saw that the leak is coming from the Turbo. I was wondering if anyone else has had...

Hello I have a SAAB 9-5 SE Turbo Station Wagon. I bought the vehicle back in December. She runs great, has a engine light for a throttle body issue, but does not cause many problems, waiting to fix when I have the money. HOWEVER, I am 4.5 hrs from home, Los Angeles, in Monterey CA. I am a...

Hey All, Last summer, the shop that I go to saw some small leaks around the engine which they said weren't too bad. I wish I had asked more questions then, but I don't know where the leaks were. Anyways, they recommended a re-torque of the head bolts, which they did. Am I right in deducing...

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

2005 9-3 Linear, 87K miles. I had an issue where it was losing coolant and to make a very long story short, it turned out that the coolant was going into the oil, apparently due to a porous engine block. Mechanic managed to get the oil (sludge) out and put new oil in and we added GM seal tabs...

Hello! After a few months of fail free driving, I just got this persistent error; Coolant Low, please refill. Coolant level has been checked, both cold and hot, sits perfectly between Hot and Cold (a bit hard to see inside the black expansion tank). So did not refill, warning still there. Where...

Hi My 2001 Saab 9-3 2.0 turbo is leaking transmission fluid from the transmission cooler seals on the Rad. I am also losing about 1/4 cup of coolant a month and my SID states low coolant until i top up but there is no visible leak. Originally I was just going to have the 4 seals replaced in the...

I recently bought a 2006 Saab 93 Aero. The other day I got a warning message that I had low coolant. I bought Prestone Dexcool coolant which is completely orange in color but, when I looked in the coolant tank I can see the coolant was greenish. I took some out to investigate and when taken out...

I'd swear this has been discussed, but when I go back through the searches I end up just as confused as I am now, probably because of the gen overlaps. Here's the deal: I have a coolant leak that appears to be the coolant bypass valve (I'll know for sure tonight after I replace it). The...

I pulled the top radiator hose to access the turbo bypass valve assembly. When I reinstall the hose do I need to bleed the coolant system or should it self-correct? Thanks!

NEWBIE to the forum! I have an 06 Saab 9-3 aero. 6/turbo. Air conditioner worked fine until about 2 days ago. Now it blows nothing but hot air. All fuses/relay have been checked, fan motors still running and working. Went to fill the low side with r134a and its showing about 160psi in the...

Recently I have been noticing some spots under where i park almost right in the middle but a little to the right and than the 'Low coolant warning' popped up So today i jacked it up, started the car and ran the AC so i could follow the water. I followed it up to a what looked like, a broken...

Coolant Level Low. Refill. the message I keep getting on my sid. The level isn't low, right at the line when cold. i disconnected the battery to see if it would reset but still keeps coming up. Im thinking maybe a bad sensor? Any ideas?

My car is giving me a P0116 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit code as of today. The check engine light comes on as well as the time for service notification. The temp gauge also seems to stick at about 1/8 up and sometimes drops to zero as if the engine is cold. I have also noticed a small leak...

Hey All, I get a warning on my SID display indicating I need put more coolant fluid in. I checked my coolant fluid and it is at the right amount. I was told I could possibly need a coolant flush, but I don't think that's the case. It doesn't look dirty or stagnant. My theory is that it could be...

Hey guys, I was lying under the car today running wires over to my new oil pressure gauge and I saw that the bottom of the turbo was wet with coolant. I've been seeing small puddles under the car occasionally, but it wasn't much and I didn't have time to trace it down. I can't see other place...

Hello everyone! So I just bout my first Saab and I must say that I love it! BUT, I saw coolant leaking from the bak of my engine. I took it to my mechanic and he said the leak is coming from the fact the I need a new hose. He said the hose runs from the throttle...past the accelerator....and...

I have a check engine light and a readout on my stereo that says to fill the coolant and I just did. Nothing is changing. The car runs fine but this is just bothering me. Also my odb reader is not working. I tried looking in the manual to find the fuse that controls that because it may be out...
