  1. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey boys and gals, I've been getting the random engine misfire code for a while now (about 2 years.) I've had the spark plugs checked and the compression tested and all is good there. I've replaced all 4 ignition coils with seemingly reputable ones from a brand called DriveWire. And something...
  2. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Apologies if I’m making too many threads. I posted earlier the sound my 9-3 SE was making that sounds like rod knock, but I noticed that the belt tensioner (I’m pretty sure that’s what it is) is wiggling and the knocking sound is coming from right in that area. Any confirmation on this? Could a...
  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Have a 9-3 i bought for $3k. Developed a vibration in the front end that sounds like something rapidly spinning against plastic, for lack of a better description. It vibrates through the steering wheel and pedals in the 1800-2200 RPM range in all gears. Took it in to the Saab tech. Two visits...
  4. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Stop me before I blow it up - does this look right to you guys? I've timed it twice before (don't ask) and was fine, but never took pictures, and this time I'm more paranoid for some reason. I do not have excessive slack on the chain, the tensioner is still within limits. Here's how I got this...
  5. 9-5 Workshop
    I tried the search function and couldn't find anything specifically about the 2003 3.0t Arc, so I figured I'd just ask. In a matter of 4 minutes, I heard a squealing noise (belt shredding), lost power steering, and overheated (pouring coolant out of all over the road). Of course, the...
  6. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi guys, Did a multi-point inspection on my car after an oil change and a battery change. Did it at the dealership where I expected them to put in a SAAB / GM battery but ended up with a Interstate battery (Made in Mexico). Anyway- everything came back in the green except a recommendation to...
  7. 9000 Workshop
    My 98 9k cse turbo has developed an interesting problem. It stalls occasionally but only after it is warmed up. From a cold start, there is no stalling. At first I thought the stalling was related to the IAC so I cleaned it using the procedure I got here. Now, I have come to realize that the...
  8. Parts for Sale/Wanted - North America
    I am looking for a timing chain tensioner for 2002 Saab 9-5 Aero. I was checking the timing chain wear on my car with 12mm cap off of it, and while I was doing that- I LOST the spring that goes inside the tensioner. It's probably sitting in the blackhole-like crack between the engine block and...
