What year is your 9-5? Mine is a US based 2003 Linear with Xenons. Do you think they would be the same?

Vehicle year is 2002. Neither WIS nor EPC list UK or US specific parts for the xenon system so I guess they're the same.

I can check when I get home in an hour or so.

Hopefully this helps. My wiring is the same as yours and does not match my WIS diagrams either.

No problem, so many have helped me it's nice to have the opportunity to do the same.

Every 10,000 is a disaster for these cars. Lots of variables but dropping the pan is the only way to know for sure.

This is now completely off-topic now but I can understand your frustration. All Saab owners that have cars affected by the sludging issue received a letter from Saab/GM outlinging the problem and recommending a change to the owner manuals oil change interval. These same cars had the warrenty extended to 80000 miles. This is a pretty standard response from Saab and in line with other manufacturers. Toyota also suffered from sludging as well. They handled it in a similar fashion. I have a friend with BMW's of similar years and they have the same if not more issues with their cars. My friend just spent 6000 on a new motor because the cheap water pump BMW uses broke apart and destroyed his motor. This is common on BMWs. The previous owner should have revealed the letter that they received.

Where I will agree is the complete dishonesty of Saab dealers.My dealer is the same way. Even after showing them the letter they insist 10000 is ok. This is something that Spyker/Saab can hopefully fix.
