  1. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi friends, Have a 2007 9-3 jet w/manual 6-spd transmission and w/83k miles on it. Hadn't driven it for a few weeks, took it out of the garage this morning and noticed one tiny black spot on the garage floor. It was black and oily, like thin oil. Thought it may be engine oil and tried smelling...

    I can never seem to find one straight answer on what ATF is good to use and what is not. The Saab OEM fluid is $24 a liter on eeuroparts which is crazy. Autohausaz.com sells Aisin ATF (93165147) for $9 a quart which is supposed to meet the AW-1 requirement. Is this okay to use? Aisin 93165147...

    Hey guys, In the last few days my 2004 Saab 9-3 has been making a groaning noise when turning right. I looked today and found that the power steering fluid is leaking from the bolt that is on top of the pump. I tried searching around on here but haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any advice...

    My 99 saab 9-3 is doing something really weird when I come to a hard brake or sharp turn & sometimes when I'm crusing at a good speed and just taking curvy roads, the fluid light will come on briefly and the ! indicator. I assumed it was my Brakes/brake pad/break fluid ect. but I took it in to...

    Hello everyone, I just feel like my problems with this car won't go away... at this point, I don't know what else to do... this problem started a week ago. So basically, the car runs awesome for about 10 maybe 15 mins, but after that, it starts shifting poorly, you can feel that it has some...

    I have a 1999 Saab 93 with 175k on it. I did a partial change of the tranny fluid around 90k by removing the plug and letting her drain the refilling. I have been told that a "better" way exists. That I can remove the tranny fluid piping going to the cooler, which drains more fluid than...

    What would be potential cause of power steering fluid to leak? Should I have to replace the whole power steering rack? I'm going underneath the car this weekend, please tell me what areas to look at. Is it certain hoses that could be leaking? Is there a diagram or write-up on this?

    I now own a 2006 9-3 2.0T with 137k miles. The auto transmission fluid has never been changed. There are no problems with shifting. Is it too late to change the fluid now? I have heard in the past that it is not recommended to touch the fluid if it has gone past a certain point or you will cause...

    One day this winter dad went to drive the 89 900 convertible, but when he pressed the clutch pedal it went straight to the floor, lifelessly, without any resistance. After some research my dad bought a new clutch master cylinder, and once I came home from college I installer the little bugger...

    for some reason my windshield washer fluid only sprays out of the spouts by the headlights and not out of the ones by the wind shield. Am I doing something wrong or is it broken?

    Let me start by saying I have little experience with cars, this is my second vehicle in my life, and I'd like to take the best care of it possible. I received my 9-3 a few months ago from a woman who had had it for eight years, and a little over 100000 miles. Recently I have heard that grinding...
