I still smell coolant even after I took my 2003 SE Vert to a saab mechanic (SAAAB Store in Tampa, FL) to get my head gasket replaced and everything else that goes with that job (head gasket, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs + cassette, coolant flush & oil change); for context I had just...

2003 93 linear I’ve been having an issue over the last few weeks where my coolant will overheat and start spilling out of the relief valve on top of the expansion tank, my engine temperature never rises above the mid level but I have monitored my coolant temp over OBD2 and it goes upwards of...

Hi, Just bought a 1998 SAAB 95 - have had a great week of driving - although there was a little "power slippage" but I have just bought it as a cruiser. This morning i noticed the temp gauge gets up to half quite quickly, and the power doesnt seem to be applying through to the drive train - it...

Hi Guys hoping you can help me out here. Have a 900 turbo that has started to judder while driving. I am fairly sure this is fuel related as it feels like the engine just isnt getting enough. It will then run OK for a while. It has on occassion cut out/stalled when stopping but it is not...

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...

My 900 Turbo '92 has been great. But I took it out today, got caught in some traffic and my heat gauge when to the middle and then started climbing. I backed off a car length or two from the car in front of me which put the gauge back down to middle or just above it. But I could smell a...

my fairly recently bought '99 9-3 has just started over heating. there is plenty of coolant so i'm told its either the thermostat, the fan, or the radiator itself. theres no saab dealership here in hawaii that i know of (i just bought it from a guy that had it here) i was reading elsewhere...
