I have a turbo x sportcombi that needs a rear bumper. Some have said the rear bumper from an aero sportcombi will work if I swap out diffusers. Does anyone know ? Will it work? Are they different other than diffusers? I’ll leave a link to the one I want to order...

Hi everyone! My name is Trystan and I'm a new owner of a 2008 Saab 9-3 TurboX. At the time of purchase it clocked 176,905 miles and, I hope not to jinx myself by saying this, it feels very solid mechanically. Exterior wise is a little rough, but it's first owner seems to have loved it well...

Hi, ever since I picked up my 08' TX wagon, I have been having issues with coolant use. When I say "use" I mean around a gallon every 100 miles. The car is basically un-driavable in this state and the only sign of a coolant leak is from behhind the coolant overfllow, pointed twards the driver...

Recently I took my 9-3 TurboX to the shop to do the airbag recall and have them look for my coolant leak. It's gotten to the point where I need to top off my coolant about once a week. The lines coming from the expansion tank are dry and whilst there was a small leak coming from the water pump...

Has anyone successfully upgraded any/all of their exterior lights to LEDs? I'm trying to figure out what the best way to do it is, but the tail lights are all reverse polarity and it's going to be annoying as hell to do resistors everywhere unless I can find a way into the DICE programming.

Hey guys, new user as I just bought a 08 Saab turbo X a few weeks back. Love the car and drives like a dream, however, this morning the car wouldn't start, had some sort of clicking noise. There was power to the radio, and navi. Worked fine after a boost. When I turned it on again after a 5...

Hello friends. Last night, my car decided to break down on me (2008 Turbo X). Nothing electrical this time, straight up front axle snapped due to something loose in the suspension components, probably the strut. It all started a few months ago with this...

I recently purchased a 6 Speed Manual Turbo X with 90K on it in amazing condition! I am noticing a slight shake that occurs every 30 seconds (lasts about 2-3 seconds then goes away and comes back 30 seconds later) when driving on the highway >50 mph. It is very strange. It isn't a very rough...

Luckily i was able to find elroys dyi fluid change. Went to a gm dealer earlier this afternoon and was fortunate enough for them to have a...

Hey guys, has anyone had any issues with the maptun coilivers in regards to the rear shock absorbers coming loose? Turbo x started clunking the other day and when i pulled off the rear wheels and inspected i noticed the driver side shock had loosened off. When i say loosened off i mean the gold...

Hi all, In a recent thread I asked if someone near Boulder, Colorado could let the TFLcar crew drive their TX car for a segment on "Modern Collectibles". http://www.tflcar.com/category/modern-collectibles/ Tunnan argued he did not see the TurboX earning that title at all, however, with only...

Hi Guys, One of my favorite online TV shows is this one: http://www.tflcar.com/ Roman and the crew are a nice guys and I have suggested that they do something on the TurboX for their segment called "Modern Collectibles". If a TurboX is not a modern collectible, I don't know what is...

Ok, I know that coils were discussed in hundreds of threads here. Each one of you knows the problem pretty well, but let me explain what is going on with me. I spent tens of hours on saabcentral looking for an answer but you know what, my Turbo X begs to differ. This thread is a combination of...

It's not my car or posting, but this showed up in my ebay crawl. I already have a TurboX and if this one does not have any rear diff problems it is a deal at near 3k under KBB. I'd hate to see a car like this go to waste with some Duke fan's child...
