Hello, I am starting to get desperate with troubleshooting fault code P1110 on my 2003 OG 9-3 2.0 Turbo Jubilee, so I'm turning to you wise and experienced Saab owners. So, basically here's the situation: Check Engine Light first turned on in mid December but there seemed to be nothing wrong...

Hi again So I have started to feel like my driver seat is becoming too cushing for me. I feel like I am barely holding in my seat when I am for example, taking a sharp turn I a roundabout. I'm not gonna say that I take it slowly in the turn. I do like speed. But I am also aware that they aren't...

Hi So my car has lately been a bit of an unsettling problem for me. The car runs fine, drives fine and sounds good. It has been 5 months since the car passed the EU biannual periodic check with no faults/advices. The car has genuinely never been at a better condition under my ownership until...

Hi all, I have a 2001 9-3 that has treated me very well. I went to get an oil change and I learned it has leaked a massive amount of oil (down to only 1 quart) since my last oil change in November. Because I live in Vermont, I can't find a mechanic that can take a look at it for over a week. So...

Hello, my AC has been out for a while. It used to hiss behind the dash, when it went out it got stinky in the cabin ( evaporator leak? Low side of system holds pressure). AC clutch engages with direct power from battery, relays and fuses look good. Compressor does not engage clutch when AC is...

Hi, question related to the sludge issue in the B205/B235 engines. I realize there has been a lot of discussion about this already, but unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable about car repair...doing my best to understand this particular issue... I bought a 2001 9-3 1 yr ago. Recently the oil...

Hello, I have just recently got a 2002 OG9-3 Aero after owning a 1999 9-5 Linear/Base for a couple years now. Coming from a 9-5, the main thing that bugs me about the 9-3 interior is the lack of an armrest. I'm wondering if anyone's found an aftermarket armrest that fits within the 9-3 center...

I have an '01 9-3 SE, with the B205R and a 5 speed manual. Last night I just finished the 6 month long journey I set off on to do some work to the car. Lightweight aluminum flywheel, new clutch kit with slave cylinder, a balance shaft delete, open air intake, steering rack brace, etc. Because...

Hi Fellers. I recently replaced the faded red plastic seat belt buckle release buttons in my 1998 SAAB 900, but I cannot find similar new replacement buttons for my 2002 9-3. Are there none?

Hey! Last week I bought an og9-3, and this far I’m super happy with my purchase. However, as soon as I got my hands on it I noticed something mildly annoying: everytime when the car has stood locked for a while, for example over night, there is a distinct smell of petrol in the cabin. It seems...

2002 9-3 SE, b205r, auto-trans, 5Dr hatchback, 230k km, PCV update installed. Has good OEM DIC and NGK Plugs. Did full oil flush when I bought the car, including dropping the oil pan and pulling the valve cover. My car all of a sudden started loping after pulling out of a parking lot, it shakes...

Hey all, just wanted to post a few pics of my ongoing build on my 9-3 vert. Turbo is a garrett gtx2871r I'm planning to run the stock intercooler and cat back exhaust for a while. Almost ready to start it up-waiting pipe for inlet.

I need new struts for my 2001 Convertible and am thinking of purchasing a set of yellow Koni Adjustable cartridges. The local Saab mechanic (Swedish Garage in Charlotte NC) has never installed a pair on an OG9-3 and had a couple of questions: Are there any mods that have to be done to...

Bought my 5th SAAB, and my second Viggen the last week of December. 3 months and ~$1,500 in parts later... she's successfully rekindled my soft spot for the Swedish brand, and become a fun, reliable, practical 2nd car for me. Although the car seemed to have been fairly well maintained, I didn't...

I'm the second owner of a 96 900 convertible. It spent it's early life in OH with salty roads and clearly the top was down during "a few" rain storms. The rot from water being trapped under the padding for the carpet has finally morphed into some large holes (6"x6") in a couple of spots, so...

I recently acquired a 2001 9-5 Aero with a busted trans from my mechanic that I'm planning on parting out/using as a parts car for my '02 9-3 and my dad's '02 9-5. But what I really want to know is how many of the parts from the 9-5 will fit my 9-3? I'm already planning on swapping the seats...

Hello all, I figured it was about time for me to post an introduction (and get my post count up :lol: ). This is my 2002 9-3 SE (really hoping that pic works lol...) Still mostly stock (aside from GS engine and trans mounts), but my plans for the car include; -coilovers (anyone have...
