  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have a 2004 9-3. For a while my car was throwing the P0033 error code, usually on the highway when quickly accelerating and braking. I would lose boost power and my car would be very slow to accelerate. After searching for help on this forum, I managed to fix the problem by replacing the...
  3. Wheels & Tires
    Hi everyone, I was doing my monthly tire pressure checkup today, and when I screwed off the valve cap on one of the tires I saw that the tire valve was plugged with a strange wax-like substance! Does anyone know what this is? It's preventing me from pumping the tires. The car - a 2001 Saab 93 -...
  4. C900 Workshop
    I've got a question about the PCV system on a 1990 900S. Looking at the black plastic nipple that is installed in the valve cover, there are two barbed hose attachment points. One is large and has a hose that runs to the throttle body upstream of the throttle plate. The other is small and has...
  5. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I'm almost 100% sure I have a clogged or bad PCV valve as I have a lot suction through the oil fill location after removing the cap, additionally I've recently developed an oil leak. I ordered this part (not from this site) but cannot find the location on the vehicle. I've done considerable...
  6. 9-5 Workshop
    Hey guys, this came to mind because my car has been smelling unusual recently. I started up my car one day and it began to smell like burning oil. The exhaust had a faint blue color and had quite a lot of smoke coming out of it. I recently changed the PCV Valve as these things are notorious for...
  7. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Ok. I give up. I've looked and can't find it. I've replace the one on my son's 2001 9-3. That was easy. Can't find that damn thing on mine. I did notice the manufacture date of my 9-3 is 04/98 if that matters. My 9-3 is a 5 speed manual and has the older 2.0T engine. Any help would be...
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I was just hoping to find out if there is a bolt mod or anything equivalent for a 2003 9-3 vector... I have searched the forums for days and days and only visually see anything for the 9-5's and threads with several missing pictures and broken links! Any insight or suggestions would be...

  12. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I currently own a Saab 1998 900 SE Turbo with an idling problem. After a few minutes of idling, the engine seems to "chug" every 15-20 seconds or so. Every once in a while, the entire car actually stall out. I have replaced the IAC valve and PCV nipple, as well as checked for vacuum leaks using...
  13. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello amazing people. I have just changed a couple worn out hoses to 3mm Silicone ones and after looking around forums for vacuum diagrams I noticed this picture from SaabNoob. I am not sure what the affect of this is but two of the hoses seem to be switched around (labelled in pink). I am...

  15. 9000 Workshop
    Hey all, First off, this forum has been extremely helpful over the last 7 years I have owned my 1991 9000! It's honestly the only reason that it's still on the road :) For the most part, I have been able to resolve all my issues (and there have been A LOT of them) with existing posts but now...
  16. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi everyone, whilst cleaning the EGR valve on my 2.2 TiD today I noticed that a vacuum pipe that runs close by was worn through. The pipe goes to a diaphragm type valve that is above the EGR and I was wondering what this valve does and where does the pipe run to/from? I have been having lots...
  17. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hello all, it's been kind of a joke between me and my audi-driving buddy, but i've been starting to wonder if my diverter valve's silly sounds are meant to be this way, or if it indicates a malfunction of sorts. when i let off the gas, the diverter valve makes a sound like a bird. since that...
  18. 99 & 90 Workshop
    I have a 1976 99. We bought the car in 1999 and it was running hot and sometimes missing. Since we had a "good spare" head from a 1974 99 (new 1984 purchased from the dealer to replace the 1974's original head), we installed it on the 1976 99. Ran for 50K miles--still ran hot, btw. We were...
  19. C900 Workshop
    8So I have heard that a common thing to check when you're not getting heat is to see if the control rod has been dislodged from the plastic housing it's supposed to fit in. The problem I have with mine, however, is where the plastic housing has broken off the white plastic bit that is attached...
  20. C900 Workshop
    EPC shows two different coolant hose arrangements for late-prod years - one which has two hoses to the heater valve as normal, and one which has some sort of a bypass arragnement. What is that all about? I haven't found any evidence of my 92 car having anything other than the regular setup (and...
