  1. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    2001 9-3 base, temperature gauge would drop to zero after about 5 minutes of driving and stay there until engine is restarted to which it performs normal before repeating the cycle. Replaced thermostat, still doing the same thing. Coolant temperature sensor?
  2. 9-5 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Got myself that little thingy a while ago: Since the instrument cluster on my 9-5 does not feature the turbo boost gauge and a replacement with the gauge has reached at least silver status, I thought that this one would be a nice solution. But...while it displays the customary readouts, I...
  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello all, Still pretty new here but enjoying my Saab quite a bit :). I bought it knowing that the temperature gauge was slow to rise, but the seller said he had had it verified from his mechanic that the car was getting up to temperature and he replaced the thermostat in that same visit (I have...

    [2024 EDIT] Check them out: Saab 9-3 Single Gauge Pod - Etsy I've wanted to add a couple gauge pods to my Saabs for a while, but it's no secret Saabs don't have a ton of aftermarket support, as compared to other brands/cars, and you can't really find much. So I decided to CAD model and render...
  5. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I've been lurking and searching and pulling whats left of my hair out trying to make my idea work. Heres the scoop: I'm installing a boost gauge in the stock headlight switch location. That's the easy part. The hard part is, I want to be able to switch my headlights on and off. My plan so...
  6. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have an 08 9-3 2.0T and the fuel level sender just recently started to go on the fritz. Some times it reads, some times it doesn't. I haven't really noticed a pattern for when it reads. I tried just running some fuel line cleaners through it and that didnt work. Another person just suggested...
  7. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Ever since I have had my 2004 9-3 conv, about 8 months, the temp guage has always stayed just below the center 9 o'clock position. I've been through the seasons with low and quite high Phoenix AZ temps. This is when it is fully warmed up when cold it goes down normally. But in the picture that...
  8. 9-5 Workshop
    I have a 2000 9-5 Aero and the boost gauge doesn't work. I haven't really looked around other forums because it's really not that big of a deal to me, but I figured I'd get the car completely error free this summer and decided to take a look at this. Would it be a better use of my time to fit an...
  9. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi guys, am looking for a little help with a project. I'm installing an oil pressure gauge like here: http://photo.platonoff.com/Auto/20090208.Saab_9-5_Oil_Pressure_Gauge/ In that install, he went through the hood cable release. I've been trying to do that, but it's about 4" down under the...
  10. 9-5 Workshop
    Hey guys, Last night driving my car and noticed the temperature guage was at the very bottom after doing some short distance highway driving for under half hr. Also when the car was sitting idle at home it did a series of short burst rev noises (climate control on but even off did the same)...
  11. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello everyone, this is my first post here and also a first time Saab owner. I bought a 99 9-5 and so far I love the car. It was an awesome buy. The question I have is that my dash display doesn't have the turbo gauge. I found a dash with the turbo gauge and their asking like 135$ for it. But...
  12. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hello all, so I'm new to Saab and forums in general. This Fall I had the privilege to purchase a used 1997 Saab 900SE 2.0T and I fell in love with this car. So far it has been great to drive and excellent all round. My only issue is that the fuel gauge has seemed to fail, reading completely...
  13. 9-5 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Are 9-5s equipped with wideband O2 sensors from the factory? If so, is it possible to tap into the sensors harness for a gauge without interfering with the readouts being sent to the T7?

    i own a 97 saab 9000 cse 2.3 turbo and i can not get the turbo gauge to work... its currently stuck pointing vertically, and i would very much like to get it working... thanks
  15. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I've just replaced the alternator. I took it out through the top of the engine compartment and in the process unscrewed the MAP sensor from the suspension bar in the engine compartment to clear space for the alternator. When I put everything back together the turbo gauge stopped working. Now...
  16. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hey guys. After 2 hours of intense Philadelphia traffic yesterday from 4 to 6, I had began my leisurely 30 minute ride back home on the highway. Cruising along at 70. Suddenly, I noticed my Temperature Gauge was all the way up at high, so I drove about a mile until I could pull off. As I...
  17. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Alright so I ordered a boost gauge (not the problem), but I decided to mount it on my A-pillar to make it look nicer, so I ordered this pod from here: http://www.partsforsaabs.com/product_info.php?cPath=28_225&products_id=2480 I got the pod before the gauge today and idk how its supposed to go...
  18. 9000 Workshop
    Hey guys, Picked up a Saab 9000CD last week. Going well but yesterday after work I hopped in and the tach just stopped working all together. This weekend I am going to pull the dash cluster out and look for any bad connections. But two questions, is a bad connection behind the cluster the...
