  1. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello, Yesterday I had to drive 600km and simply lacked power, the mReq was neatly set at 1220 but the mAir remained around 980 to 1000. Sometimes if you stepped on it very suddenly, the mAir shot to 1150 for a while but it didn't hold and within a second it was back to 980. After arriving at...
  2. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi, I bought a 2001 9-3 convertible (B205E motor, 150hp) here in France (sorry for my bad english) just a year ago. Changed the DI Cassette, spark plugs and crankshaft position sensor in july. The car has had rough idle since 4/5 months I think (can't be sure), around 800rpm and + 40 / - 40...

  4. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have a 2004 9-3. For a while my car was throwing the P0033 error code, usually on the highway when quickly accelerating and braking. I would lose boost power and my car would be very slow to accelerate. After searching for help on this forum, I managed to fix the problem by replacing the...

    I have this hose behind my engine. Not sure what it is although I'm sure it has something to do with the vacuum system. Can you please help me identify the part? Update: Okay, so I cannot post pictures yet. Hopefully this will work, head to dropbox and use this URL...
  6. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    This hose is punctured and air sprays really fast out of it, and it makes a loud whistle. I just don't know what the name of the hose is to order another one. It's right below the Upper Radiator Hose (I've changed that one before) on the car. What hose is this? (in attachment)
  7. Engine Oil, Lubricants & Fluids
    Hi Guys, Not sure if this is the correct thread (I couldn't find a thread related to newer 9-3's). So please excuse me if it is misposted and direct me to the correct thread. I have a leak in my high-pressure power steering hose line. The mechanic says that the only fix is a complete...
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi, I replaced my ignition coils and while doing the rear coils, I ended up braking couple of hoses (see attached picture). Any idea what they are so I can buy the parts to replace them, AND what would be a temporary or easy fix for now.
  9. C900 Workshop
    I'm replacing the expansion tank and hoses in my 88 C900 because they're leaking coolant. I could use some guidance before I jump in. Firstly, I'm having trouble finding a place to buy the return hose that runs from the radiator to the expansion tank. Any suggestions? It seems like a fairly...
  10. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi, Anyone know how much it might cost, and/or what parts these hoses are? It's in the front/middle (slightly passenger) side of the engine right behind the dipstick. The rubber hose broke off the engine and then about 6-9 inches towards the passenger side, the connecting hose that feeds into...
  11. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Looked under the hood of my 2001 9-3 today and found what looks like a disconnected hose. Anyone know what this is? Should I just reconnect the hose, or do I need to consult a mechanic? I'm not very technical when it comes to cars... Overview of engine compartment A: Close up of disconnected...

    hi all, 1995 Saab 9000 CSE Turbo I'm having trouble finding a replacement hose for a coolant/water/air hose that cracked on me. I attached a photo of the hose's location. It comes off of a larger hose in a "Y" formation. Any chance ya'll know which hose this is and where I can buy a...
  13. C900 Workshop
    Hello all, I'm in the process of replacing all of what look to be original coolant and heater hoses on my '93 vert. turbo (5-speed) as a matter of preventative maintenance. Getting at some of the hoses is so tight (for example the hoses connecting to the rear of the water pump) that I am...
  14. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi Folks- I'm on the brink of resolving my roaming idle and high idle (see recent "Engine Trouble" thread). I need to replace the large throttle body vacuum line on my 2006 9-5 2.3T. The line runs from the left lower rear of the TB to the left side behind the power steering reservoir and then...
  15. 9000 Workshop
    Hey everybody! New to the SaabCentral forums, and I have a probably stupid question, but I can't find anything around that explains to me what I'm seeing. I was cleaning the engine bay on my 1994 9000 Aero recently, and I noticed a small diameter hose leading into the intake manifold that isn't...
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    My '08 9-3 has a vacuum leak and I was going to try and figure out which hose exactly it is. I'm pretty sure I know which one it is but when I tried to take it off it didn't want to budge. I've never changed them so they are pretty old, has anyone else had a hard time taking theirs off? If so...

    Hello I put my old TD04 HL T15 turbocharger for sale ( i had to scrap my car, engine failure ) and the potential buyer is willing to buy it but only when it comes comes with all the pipework. What exactly is a turbocharger pipework? I don't mind to include it too but i don't want to give too...

    Major oil leak, oil flow depends on rpm. The hose comes up from sump's metal tube then goes up behind alternator. What is this hose and where does it go?
  19. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi all, A small hose broke when I was driving cross country. I might be mistaken but I believe it is an air line that goes into the engine. I fixed it with glue and duct tape and the engine has been running smoothly since then. I drive a 2004 9-3 Linear. Now that I am home I would like to...
  20. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello amazing people. I have just changed a couple worn out hoses to 3mm Silicone ones and after looking around forums for vacuum diagrams I noticed this picture from SaabNoob. I am not sure what the affect of this is but two of the hoses seem to be switched around (labelled in pink). I am...
