I reacently saw a Saab 9000 that I'm considering buying but there are two problems with it:
1. There is a strange rattleing/buzzing type noise behind the dashboard near the clock/controls for the heated seats/cabin temp sensor area. The nose starts when you turn the car on, and when the engine is running the noise is louder (the climate control might have been on when I noticed that i'm not really sure), but the noise is still there when the climate control is off. When you turn the car off the nose only stops after several minutes. Does anyone know what this is and why it makes a noise for so long after the car has been turned off? There is also a sometimes louder rattling noise from the driver side vent.
2. The Check Engine light is on when the car is running, could this mean there is a problem that could end up costing me a lot of money? The person I'm buying it from will give me a 1 month warrenty, but they might just reset the light and it may come on in a couple of months or something.
Is there anything else I should check.
It's the 2 litre model Saab 9000, and I think its the 1995 model.
Thanks for any help,
Grant
