Hey guys, I'm replacing the turbo on my 2001 9-3 coupe (2.0L), and it's been going mostly well (aside from me disconnecting the wrong [air conditioning] pipe and spraying freon in my face). I've almost got the old turbocharger removed and only one thing stands in my way - removing the coolant...

Hi all, I own a saab 16v turbo 1988 convertible. it's rapidly loosing coolant and I'm hoping it's not the gasket that is blown, i've check around the engine and cant see a leak from it. and the coolant is leaking even when engine is not on. i suspect it's a hose that's broken, as the leak...

Hey guys, Recently someone decided to smash-and-grab my GPS leaving me with the task of replacing the drivers side window. Once I got the door apart, I realized there were some plastic parts that were cracked/broken which was likely unrelated. I'm looking to source these parts without buying an...

Just as a heads up, I'm a rookie and I know very little about cars. Don't assume I know anything. My 2001 9-3 Turbo is telling me to Fill Coolant. I know I can just add more, but isn't the coolant a closed system? Another coolant thread mentioned a burning smell from leaking coolant, and I...

I have a 2002 9-5 Arc V6 that has had a fairly slow coolant leak for a while. I have just been adding coolant/water when the SID indicator comes on. I decided to take a look and discovered that the leak appears to be coming from whatever thing (some sort of valve maybe) the expansion tank hose...

In my TD04 installation, the setup I purchased (used from a guy on here) had one stainless braided line, and one fabric sort of one (both of these are for coolant), which I think is this link: http://www.anplumbing.com/shop/index.php?shop=&dept=Pro-Lite The fabric one seems to be leaking...

I have a 2000 V6, and am very slowly losing coolant (12oz every 3-4 months). I had a radiator leak last summer, which I fixed by changing the radiator. I'm basically looking for suggestions where is the coolant going and how to check that possibility - there are no puddles under the car - the...

1999 Saab 9-5 w/ 169k miles. So, my heat stopped working recently and I got the code 08, meaning blend door issues. I located the broken piece. Anyway, a day later my check engine light came on. I can smell coolant after running the engine for a few minutes, although there doesn't seem to...

I would greatly appreciate any tips on how in the world I can open that unreachable (or barely reachable) coolant drain valve (or lock)... I spent hours on trying to open that sucker, and all for nothing... :cry: I even cracked a little piece off of that thing.:o Have anyone ever ran into issue...

My car is a 1995 900s with the 2.3na 5spd I was driving home from work, and there was a sudden loss of power. I pulled over, popped the hood and the right side (the side with the resevior) of the engine was covered in coolant , the resevior was almost empty. I got back in the car fired it up...

So after a long drive, I can stop the car, pop the hood and watch the coolant in the expansion tank rise until it bubbles up and out of the cap. (Causing the SID to ask for more coolant the next drive) A) There is no milky white substance in the coolant B) I replaced the valve mentioned in...

I have a persistent wet carpet area just above the spare tire. It seems to be just water and not coolant or other. I've replaced the gaskets (just below the spare) and silicone sealed them. I live in northern AZ and don't use the AC/Heat very often (possibly eliminating condensation issues)...

This appears to be a relatively common problem with the 93, but no matter how many times I go to the dealer to have it fixed, they don't seem to be able to. Here's the basic scenario. I used to get a coolant message on my SID once every month or so. It was annoying, but nothing more. I'd top...
