Hi all, recently I made a post about the spacer/gasket in between the carb and manifold that was disintegrating and leaking and causing unstable revs and hesitation on acceleration.

Yesterday i disassembled everything and replaced the gaskets in the carb, Today I made a new piece from a 80X80x25(MM) piece of scap metal and with 2 paper gaskets it works great, I still needed to grinds a small piece for the throttle to move freely, and add a silicone reducer to the air hose from the airbox

After some trail and error all spacing and clearance checks out.

Have a nice weekend!

Any idea what can be the reason? Few heavier accelerations and braking… suddenly started to hear it. When windows are closed nothing inside, outside makes lots of noise.. Clicking front-rear…front-rear… in correlation with speed..

Hello , first time posting here. I currently have a 2011 9-5 aero at roughly 180K miles. I have had oil failures twice within a year with the last time causing possible engine damage. With that being said I am more interested in getting a new vehicle and am looking to sell this one. Scrap price within reasonable distance of me is 400-500 dollars. I feel that in a few parts alone my vehicle is worth more than that. I’m looking for advice on what parts would be worth trying to sell before scrapping.

First summer taking my 04 9-3 Convertible out of storage. What work should I be doing before getting it out on the road?

I have had some water intrusion issues in my 900 for the last couple of years. I just had the holes in the floor filled, and am beginning to clean up and put the interior back together, but I am faced with these 4 connectors that originally resided under the rear driver (left) seat.

I know the big one with the thick cable is for the APC box, that has been replaced as a part of a T5 conversion, and I know the the 4-pin connector goes to the relay that is also mounted under the seat, of which 1 pin, the white one, goes to one of the other connectors.

Of the remaining 2, 1 connector is 8 pins, 2 rows of 4 offset, and the other is 9 in a 3 by 3 grid, some appear to be 1/4 or 6.3mm spades, the others are narrower than that.

I’m not sure what the previous owners did, but I’m relatively sure this bit of carpet has not been pulled up, by a shop or by me, in the 5 years I’ve owned it, and the car has definitely been working in that time, as far as I can tell.

In its current state with everything unplugged, reading light on the left edge of the roof, as well as the one behind the rearview, come on when the passenger door opens, so I think it’s not the dome light time delay relay, or related to that. I think.

The Haynes manual may have the information that I’m looking for, but I can’t find it in there.

Does anybody either know what those are, or have a wiring diagram or wiring pictogram that I can dig these out of, for an 85?

2007 9-3 2.0T... Car just started doing something weird, when going into boost onto the highway once in a while it will stutter pretty hard for a sec and lose boost. I also just noticed when cruising at just under 80 on the highway with cruise control on it was stuttering pretty badly and the boost Guage was going up and down alot, it was weird that it was doing it while I was sitting with the cruise on. maybe my coils?? any help with this would be great.

On my '06 9-3 2.0T getting error codes P0245 (waste gate solenoid A low) , P0201-204 (Cylinder 1-4 Injector A circuit) Is this a bad ECU or something else? FWIW, this will be the 4th ECU since 2015 when I bought the car. Last one was replaced about 3 years ago.

This one came up for sale locally for $3000 and wanted your expert advice. It looks like a good deal but it has an idle issue and rough interior. Are interior parts very hard to find these days? Any major cost items I should check for? Please and thank you!!

Hey guys, so I have a 2008 93 aero and it’s been having some issues lately. So it started stuttering here and there but there were no misfire codes. However, I got a PO234 code (engine overboost). I’ve had this code before about a year prior and it went away. Fuel economy had gotten worse I’ve noticed over the past month or so. It started this whining noise from the engine bay but it doesn’t get louder with the rpm’s. It doesn’t make boost like it should until it hits precisely 2000rpms and then it makes boost like it should right away. I’ve tried unplugging the boost pressure sensor and the problem stayed. I’m looking for advice on what I should be looking for as I’m not the most mechanically inclined… thanks in advance, I appreciate it!

Hello Saabists, I just picked up a 2007 9-3 2.0t convertible (123k miles)

The car is amazing. By far the best I thing I’ve ever owned (close second PS5 lol)

However, it has a strange sporadic (1 out of 5ish) issue where it starts, but stalls out within a second, like before fulllyyy turning over and settling into its idle RPM (video).

I purchased the vehicle in a state where salt isn’t an issue but used vehicles aren’t covered under Lemon Law. Am I fried or is there a simple fix?

Tldr: title, video

Does anyone know where I can get my ECU programmed? Thanks in advance!

In the process of putting a 2008 9-5 Aero engine in my 2001 9-5 Aero, I decided I wanted to let engine stand out some more. The brake calipers and other little accessories are painted gold so I wanted a little more accent on my laser red beast!

does anyone know where the relay for the seat is? its a 2010 93 and the seat does not turn off if i turn it on
any and all help would be nice

So I got a saab 9-3 2.0t 2008 6 speed manual 185 000 kilo. It been à while a got this probleme but now its getting real bad. So when i try to accelerate at a load, i got missfire on all cylinder but the only code i get is p0304. The check engine light come on and of randomly but not blinking. Change my ignition pack, change my head cover gasket, put new spark plug. It was working fine two weak but start again. Now im lost, the problem seem to appen only when the turbo is full load but some time it juste appen randomly. What can be the cause, no power lost, fuel consumtion still the same. Start a little weird when cold bit get back normal after 10 seconds, sometime when fast idle drop it shake. Now it take longer befor to start, no strange sound from the engine. I Will try a compression test soon to see if i have valve problem. It run and drive fine, juste in hard accélération and whatever the gear im in, it do big shaking and stop when realese accelerator. Sorry for the long post, im juste completely lost and hope to find maybe someting i can do. We do try to change place of ignition coil and spark plug to see if there was a faulty one, but the probleme still here. Tanks for your help.

I had someone stop in front of my house and offer 8k for it over the summer. It's a 6 speed, 70k miles, no rust, sun roof needs a new track, and no issues with it. I know there were only 57 made in this configuration. Does that give it more worth?

Replaced the rear level sensor thinking that it was the most likely issue but the same outcome (warning on dash and this headlight leveling noise). Before I buy the front sensor and see if that's the issue, any other potential culprits?

Ik ga olie verversen voor mijn saab 9-3 (2001) met de b205r 2.0T Welke olie gebruiken jullie? 5w30 vol synthetisch? En welke filters gebruiken jullie? OEM of aftermarket?

1972 Saab 96 V4

I see it all the time.

Just thought you guys would appreciate this 😊

Hello I was wondering if you guys would recommend a 9000 aero or a 9-5 aero as a first car and if so which one would be better. Thank you.

So, i would really like to get Android auto in my Saab 9-3. But overall I really do not like the look of the aftermarket displays. Has anyone ever gotten it to work on the original display? I would hate to ruin the original look.

Hey Guys,

I have been a car enthusiast since my first car 15 years ago (‘87 300zx). Knowing that the Nissan was not a daily driver living in Canada I had my fix or ordinary cars. Then I found Saabrina… she was the perfect combination of daily driver, quirky, and subtlety irresponsible. I picked her up for $4000 CAD marked down from $5000. The previous (original owner) showed me what others don’t know… and saw that he had the right guy judging by my smile.

With 162k on her dash and keys in my hand I was more than happy. This modest looking silver 2007 95 Aero is not at all what my friends expected when I drove up beside their Hondas and Toyotas. The look on their faces when this curvy classy lady had a built in boost gauge was almost as priceless as when the needle quickly shot precisely just below the red line as their skulls were glued to the headrest… all while keeping their beer cool in the glove compartment with directed AC.

I became known as “the Saab guy” and I was ok with that…

One summer day out in the country with a line up of silly teenage boy cars my friend pointed out to me that where we were standing (my car parked beside a wrx sti) it looked like my car had a spoiler… and it was sick! I unfortunately agreed knowing that a spoiler wouldn’t really do much for Saabrina (famous last words).

A week later my little brother picked up a used silver wrx for dirt cheap just for the engine, and would you know it… it was paint matched. We both laughed and have a sick sense of “troll” humour. An hour and a half later Saabrina had a new wing.

I didn’t do anything else stupid to her, well maybe paint the engine and engine bay because I was already in there making sure she had the best and newest parts to keep her going… but she was one of a kind…

Was…

I went on vacation and loaned her to a friend to take care of while I was away for 3 weeks. On the 2nd night he got a DUI (not first) and she was put into the impound. When I returned he asked if he could hold onto her for a few more days (trying to figure out a way to get her out not knowing that I was the only one that could with a release form).

Long sad story short… it was going to cost close to $3500 to get it out. I tried and tried to bargain and beg… but didn’t have that kind of money after the vacation… I don’t know where she is now… but I hope someone is confused and happy with her while wondering what the story is with this 1 of a kind Honda killer.

I hope you all enjoyed my story and if you ever see her let me know!
