  1. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    2001 9-3 base, temperature gauge would drop to zero after about 5 minutes of driving and stay there until engine is restarted to which it performs normal before repeating the cycle. Replaced thermostat, still doing the same thing. Coolant temperature sensor?
  2. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hey all! So I believe i have a small issue with the AC/temperature gauge on the instrument panel. When driving the car without the air conditionin on everything is fine. But if I use the air condition or especially crank the AC to hot the temperature on the instrument panel goes slowly downwards...
  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello all, Still pretty new here but enjoying my Saab quite a bit :). I bought it knowing that the temperature gauge was slow to rise, but the seller said he had had it verified from his mechanic that the car was getting up to temperature and he replaced the thermostat in that same visit (I have...
  4. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    So, recently I replaced the thermostat since my engine barely reached half way temperature and was going up and down a lot. Now with the thermostat replaced, it reaches halfway on idle in about 10 min and a tiny bit above halfway when driving for 5-10 min. But when it's reaches halfway, it...
  5. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    So I recently replaced my thermostat, because my engine temp was always at the lowest when driving on a motorway, and in city traffic it would fluctuate a lot. Replacing the thermostat fixed the issue, well I thought it did. It warmed up really well, and stayed in the middle of the temp gauge...
  6. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi all, first post here. Starting last year, my 2.8 started to slightly buck sometimes when driving. Brought it to Saab, and they told me to wait until it throws a code. One year later, it is getting much more serious, and is bucking very hard at idle and between 2,000, and 2,500 RPMs. One thing...

  8. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hello, all, long time lurker, first time poster. I'm a severe amateur, but this one is driving me nuts. About a year ago, I had my (now ex-) girlfriend's brother work on the 2002 Saab 9-3 that she gave me. He is a mechanic at... a chain, but unfortunately, he hated working on Saabs so much...
  9. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I've recently started having some issues with my temperature gauge. I've read plenty of instances where folks have replaced the thermostat and/or coolant temperature sensor and plan on replacing both soon since it is a relatively low-cost repair. I am curious about the problem though as from...
  10. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    We have a 93e conv. and for the first 10-12 miles of a trip it runs perfectly. Then the engine temp dial needle drops like a rock and mist - highly humid air - comes into the cabin and needs a window to be opened quickly to clear it. If you stop, just for an instant and turn off the engine...
  11. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    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...
  12. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Lately my A/C has been cutting out while driving on the highway. When it happens the temperature gauge goes from its normal "9 o'clock" position to not even registering. If I pull over, shut down the car, and restart the A/C works but the temperature gauge will only register slightly above the...

  14. C900 Workshop
    I have an 1989 Saab 900 Turbo, 178000 miles, original clutch. The clutch pedal is perfectly firm and high when the temperature is cool or cold. But in summertime, when the temperature goes above 80F, the clutch pedal engages only when it is pushed right to the floor. If I leave the car...
  15. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    2000 9-3 Viggen So, I think there is a Fan that sucks in air from the Dashboard that lets the computer know what the inside temperature of the car is. Basically, I'm wondering what that part is called and if there is a way to fix it. It has started making a clicking / ticking sound and it...
  16. 9-5 Workshop
    My SID always seems to think that it's 122 degrees F outside. I live in north-central Wisconsin....so we know that can't be possible!! Is this a quick fix or something I need to take to the dealer and pay some money for?
