Hello all, I have a 2008 9-3 with just over 106k miles on it. I've noticed recently during idle or very low speeds, there is almost a plastic sounding rattle, almost as if something plastic isn't fully tightened down and the engine movement is causing it to make that noise. Any ideas ? could it...

A sharpie Silver paint marker worked wonders on my faded hatch logos. After the silver paint marker dried, I used a black sharpie to clean up the messy edges. I could have done it on the car after trying it on my workbench. Afterward I did the 2.3 logo while it was still on the car...

Hey! So I was in an accident last December and am just now getting to the point where I can fix my beautiful beast. I used the insurance money to pay off the remaining money on my car and bought a new trunk lid. So my questions: Can anyone direct me to guides or videos on how to remove and...

Hey! My name is Sarah and I have a 2004 Saab 9-3 Aero manual. I adore this car so much. Unfortunately, I signed up for this site so I could get tips on fixing her up (had an accident back in 2014 that just messed up my back end). So you'll be finding me in the repairs topics a lot!!!

Hello, I have the opportunity to buy a 2003 9-3 with 64,000 miles on it. I really like Saabs, but I am only a student and I commute 40 miles a day. Would it be a good investment for $5,000? What sort of repairs should I expect, and any info on the amount to maintain it would be nice. I have...

First of all, bear with my English, as I am not a native speaker. My newly got 08 93 sc 2.0t, just as many others, suffers from the intake valve issue. Sadly it is time for me to decide whether to keep this car or not. To fix the issue, one local independent mechanic quotes me $2900. Another...

Hi, I am in the process of buying my first car. I came across a 2004 SAAB linear 4d(97,000miles) and a 2003 SAAB linear 4d(114,000), both priced within my budget. My question is, what kind of service records (besides the usual oil change, brakes) and repairs/tune ups should I be looking for in...

Hi, I have a saab that has been a bit of a wallet hog. Last week I did the first repair on the engine, all it was, was a vacuum valve repair. I had it fixed then drove the 1100 miles back home. This morning I got in the car and turned it on and noticed a clunking sound, so I checked the oil and...

My driver side door (03 9-3) won't respond to my key fob or the door's lock controller. It doesn't make the same sound as the others doors do when you manually lock and unlock the car. Because of the safety mechanize I cannot lock the driver door. So currently the door stays unlocked and the...
