  1. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hey, I'm putting back together my turbo and turbo inlet pipe and the clamp between the turbo inlet pipe and turbo is broken. I found the part on ESaabParts.com at this link (55559479 by OES | Clamp) Although it only says its for 9-5. I've attached some pictures of the clamp in question (I...

  3. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Picked up a 2001 9-3 base 5-speed for real cheap, $750 and 123k miles, they said it has a blown turbo. It spools and boosts fine but there is oil leaking from the throttle body/charge pipe connection and that whole pipe and down is saturated in oil on the inside. Bad turbo seals or blown turbo...
  4. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi, so my saab 93 has a strange noise. Initially it made the noise between 1500 and 3000rpm, but then the noise was on all the rpm range. The next day, when the motor was cool, the noise almost disappeared. I brought it to a mechanic I know and he said to me it is the turbo, it needed to be...
  5. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    hi, when accelerating or at load at higher RPM (above approx 3000) a hissing sound is audible and gets louder with more load and RPM and soon turns into a sort of screaming. at the same time I have the impression that the power is not that good as it was. It is definitely very much dependant on...
  6. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello brand partners. I need a little help. I have a 2003 Saab 9-3 2.0t SS (YS3F). Unfortunately, my poor thing was crushed and it is unlikely that the chassis can be repaired, but its engine (B207R) escaped the accident intact. I don't have the money to buy another 9-3 right now, so I thought...
  7. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    https://youtube.com/shorts/xciRIfmONXA?feature=share Been hearing this for the past two months. Replaced all vacuum hoses with silicone. I should note that in the first video I had an open intake, and the second with the whistle has stock airbox. Also CEL is unrelated, it’s evap. Curious what...
  8. C900 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Im gonna make a disclaimer since i know that there are a lot of posts on this subject but i havent found one which goes over what ive got in mind. Ive got a 1990 900 which is NA and as most NA 900 owners ive thought about converting it to a turbo. I know that turbos have a lower compression...

    Hey ! First of all I just wanna mention I'm new here and have owned my Saab since I got my license 3 months ago February 2023 and I love the car ! My dad is such a car person and has owned tons of older sport cars and just likes driving in general and thought a Saab would be a great first car! I...
  10. 9000 Workshop
    Grandparents have had it sitting for 15+ years and said the trans (auto) and turbo need to be replaced. I want to get it running again and I think it would be a good experience for somebody that doesn't know a lot about cars. How should I go about this? Am I getting myself into deep sh**?
  11. C900 Workshop
    Hello this is my first post, I have a 1988 900 Turbo hatch it has been sitting for quite a while and I've been cleaning it up under the hood, recently got it running after learning the overboost switch had been disconnected and the ECU was not sending power to the pump. I have since fixed that...
  12. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    At first I thought it was smoking from the downpipe, around the studs but now that I looked under the car while it was running it’s definitely smoking from the middle of the turbo. Don’t know what’s going on with it, I replaced the three studs & nuts that hold the downpipe to the turbo but still...
  13. NG900 & OG9-3 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    Greetings all, I recently ordered a manual boost controller for my otherwise stock 98 900 turbo with the thought of running the turbo at maybe 14, 14.5 psi (what I gather is ~1 lb shy of fuel cutoff). Now I find myself second guessing the manual controller compared to the still operational...
  14. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I’m having an issue with my 2008 9.3 aero Cabriolet, 2.8T, AT which I believe is a result of over boosting. the car runs fine though it has a mild intermittent lope during idle. However, during stiff acceleration the check engine (MIL) illuminates and the engine seems to enter limp mode. If...
  15. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi, I'm suspecting I may have a bad turbo on my 2000 SE. I understand that it has a Mitsubishi TD04HL. According to Wikipedia some models come with the TD04HL-15H-6, which sounds like it might be my car. I see some Volvos also use the TD04HL-15G. Does anyone know what level of interchange...
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi, ive just got a new starter motor installed. Me and a friend did it, and it now starts perfectly. But after this, the park heater worked for one day, and then stopped working. It only flashes one time at the dash when it’s supposed to start, and then nothing happens. Have tried manual start...

    I'm trying to troubleshoot low boost on my 2000 9-3 SE (b205r). I've seen some contradictory information on troubleshooting. If I disconnect the electrical connector will the waste gate stay shut? I'm Checking the bypass valve (B235R, B205L/R) – 9-3 2000 | SAAB Workshop Information System...

    Hi All, my name's Tommy Bennett. This is my introduction to this webpage- I was heading to the local DMV to register my very recently purchased 1998 900se 2.o Turbo (4-cyl), and I noticed my engine temperature rising significantly while driving in traffic. Doubts of whether or not I should have...
