Hi there, From time to time (every 2000km), i can se a very heavy light blue smoke coming out from the exhaust. it last for about only 3-4 minutes and stops. no warning on the dashboard, oil temp is OK, no specific noise, no performance lost. I have no idea of what is it... The last smoke test...

Within 10 minutes on my way to work in the mornings, my car has white smoke coming out from under the hood. On long interstate trips, there are no issues. The temperature gauge rises to the normal level within a normal amount of time. The white smoke comes up from behind the fan. The coolant...

Hi folks, Been a while since I added a posted which on the plus side is a sign my car has been running well. However this has changed recently so I'd appreciate some advice on what you think the problem might be. Over the past few weeks, I've noticed my car (2001 9-3 2.0 SE turbo, with Hirsch...

Is there a way to safely disconnect the turbo on a 2001 9-5 so that the exhaust doesn't smoke so much? we know for sure it's the turbo, not the head gasket (hooray) and we're ordering a rebuild kit, in the mean time it's pretty embarrassing to drive.

It is hesitating/choking on startup every once in a while and when it does a huge puff of smoke comes out and then its fine. From what I have read that would mean the Turbo is getting ready to go. My question is can it be saved and if not what is my lowest cost option? I have run my savings out...

I bought my 9-5 Aero back in June and promptly had a bad TD04 replaced. Everything was cool as a cucumber until the temps dropped to around 3ºC and lower. About three or four cold starts per week I get blue oily smoke for about 5 to 10 seconds... There is also a small amount of mayo on the...

Rear Main seal is shot, and its leaking onto the exhaust causing nasty smell and smoke. Anyone know if this is possibly a diy? Or do I have to get the dealer to do it for the pricey cost? Any write ups or tips would be great! Thanks in advance.

My 2001, 150 000 km Saab has all of a sudden (like within seconds from no smoke to huge clouds) started to pour smoke out of the exhaust. The dealer says an oil ring failure is to blame and recommends the engine to be replaced as they don't do overhauls. I think they are wrong and that the turbo...

I own a 9-3 cabrio (2006 model) 150hp Tdi Saab. In mid June I bought a BSR ppc tuning kit upgrading to 184Hp and 412 Nm torque. I also purchased and fitted a JR sport filter. The car ran great for a couple of weeks, then suddenly it went in limp mode and I had to regenerate the PF. Now, after...

Driving to work this morning i had this odd feeling that the road felt bumpier than it really was, after a few seconds I realized the check engine light was on, a few seconds after that it hit me that the shaking was my engine stuttering/struggling when I hit the gas. I was only driving about...

It pains me to have to post a negative comment as my first post to this forum, but it seems like I'm not the only one :roll: SO, outside of having EVERY other common issue that 2003 Saab 9-3 2.0t owners have, I have one that is not so common - or at least not one that I have found on this...

I have recently purchased a 1985 Saab 900 turbo and been having nothing but troubles with it. The starter went out the first week that I had it and ended up replacing it with a new one. A couple days ago, I took it down to DEQ and as soon as I pulled in to get it tested, it started smoking. A...

99-V 9-5 2.3 eco estate 68k full history. Blue smoke on startup for about 3-4 secs, but not every time (70%). I bought this car over a year ago and have covered 15k. One owner from new and he had Saab dealer keep it overnight twice. He was told it was nothing to worry about but it might be some...

I have a 2000 Saab 9-5 2.3t and about a week or two ago I noticed smoke coming out of my exhaust when I started my car. three days ago i started my car and it just immediately died. i tried to start it again and it started right up, but with a puff of smoke. this has happened three times since...

i have brought my 2003 Saab 9-3 ARC 2.0t to two different mechanics about it running rich and burning a **** ton of oil, way more than a turbo charged car should. neither have given me any answer that could be considered somewhat intelligent. the could not figure it out even though it seems to...
