  1. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi, so my saab 93 has a strange noise. Initially it made the noise between 1500 and 3000rpm, but then the noise was on all the rpm range. The next day, when the motor was cool, the noise almost disappeared. I brought it to a mechanic I know and he said to me it is the turbo, it needed to be...
  2. 9-5 Workshop
    Long time since I've been on here! I recently bought a 2008 9-5 2.0t automatic for a low price. Drove her home without any problems, fixed the cosmetic damage over the course of a few weeks and went for a short drive. I noticed a whirring sound when engaging drive, seemingly coming from the...

    hi, when accelerating or at load at higher RPM (above approx 3000) a hissing sound is audible and gets louder with more load and RPM and soon turns into a sort of screaming. at the same time I have the impression that the power is not that good as it was. It is definitely very much dependant on...

    1999 9-3 SE ~140,000 mi Little over a week ago my precious engine sounded a little louder and just... different than usual. A little deeper and more growling, sort of like the muffler wasn't doing its job very well. Subtle enough it might be in my head... but its gotten louder. Not awful, but...

    https://youtube.com/watch/xLLjoFdNmG4? Any ideas on what this noise could be? I was thinking maybe the serpentine belt?

    What is this Noise from exhaust. Is it the cat or something else?. It's always been quiet just seemed to have started today or was at least noticeable today. and for some reason only hear it in lower gears or in park obviously from the video.

    "Whoooosh" sound under front passenger side dash/floor area. Sort of like a Keurig coffee maker the last 5 seconds of filling a cup. Maybe inside the wheel well? Usually at idle, right before I turn the car off. My brain says probably evap canister gases being purged or filled or whichever. A...

    Hey everyone, I have a 2009 9-3 XWD with the B207R engine. On every cold start, there seems to be a sound coming from the pulley side of the engine (Passenger side in Canada). Its not a rattle sound like a bad chain, but its not a squeak like a slipping serpentine belt either. Its between those...

    Hi! Hoping someone can help here - my mums car has been making an unusual noise for a while after she has been on a drive which seems to remain when she’s parked up and idle. She has recently had a service and MOT and asked the mechanics to take a look but they can’t seem to locate the problem...

  11. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello all! Since buying my 2001 95 wagon, I havent ever had the cabin fans work. It has been pretty temperate by me so I hadn't gotten around to finally tackling it until this week. I ran the ACC calibration and came up with 08/14 codes- read a TON on this forum and wound up fixing both of...

    About a week ago I noticed this weird noise coming from the drive belt side of the engine. It's gotten worse thru out the week. It seems to quite down after it warms up a little but it is still present. I found a guy that posted a video on YouTube of exactly what it sounds like. Drive belt...

    I have a 06 saab 9-3 convertible 5 speed. Hey guys, so recently, i've been noticing a sound that can ONLY be heard INSIDE of the car when idling. The noise is a knocking type of sound, kind of like the knocking sound you would get from a diesel engine at idle. i feel like it is coming from the...

    '06 9-3 Aero convertible, 84K miles. I may be overthinking this, but it seems noisier lately. I put 4 new tires on in the winter, and since we have a lot of snow here, I couldn't say whether the noise started as soon as I did that, but I don't think it's tires for the following reasons: 1) It...

    Hey Saab Central! Today I became the proud owner of a 2002 Saab 93 Viggen. I am very new to a manual transmission and have spent the entire day practicing. As I was backing out of my driveway I heard a loud sound of metal under serious duress. I immediately stopped the car and looked under to...

    What's up SaabCentral, After spending a couple days last week replacing a weeping water pump, I got it back together and put the belt back on. The belt is maybe 7 months old, so I opted out of replacing it. But before replacing the water pump, my serpentine belt slipped off. I'm assuming a...

    After having started the car in the cold this morning (-12 degrees Celcius) a strange noise occured (follow link to Youtube belo2). I seems to be coming from somewhere behind the ACC-unit, and it kept on going for a few minutes. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the cold, which also...

    Hey there! Great forum you guys have here and I wish to participate as well. Bought an used Saab 9-3 2004 Sport Sedan Linear and I have been happy with it. Some issues I've had have been the creaking front suspension which must be down to the front sway bar bushings. The other one has been a...
