Car Forum / Saab Cars / September 2004Flickering Dash And Headlights---9000CS. Er, And So On...
I've just purchased the 9000CS turbo model and it has a few things wrong, like the above. Accompanying it is the (apparently) noisy clock (by the way, I don't see those for sale, assuming this one's defective at all). The 2nd-to-3rd upshift point also seems a bit late, and so, the 3rd-to-2nd downshift a bit early. The rear decor panel is cracked a bit; is there a used place that's a good reference for one? Of course, there is a slight overheating issue (compared to most cars; I understand the 9000 deserves understanding here), which perhaps the lower thermostat and fan threshold will cure; I haven't put those in yet, but I have them now... Thanks for any help with the above! I probably should have said the year; it's a 1996.... Thanks again! > I've just purchased the 9000CS turbo model and it has a few things wrong, > like the above.

Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/ Yeah, but next you'll be telling me there's such a thing as a 7 mm allen wrench out there.... > >> I probably should have said the year; it's a 1996.... > >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > 1989 900 Turbo S > http://saab.go.dyndns.org/ > Yeah, but next you'll be telling me there's such a thing as a 7 mm allen > wrench out there.... Oh, they're out there, but it's more of a Snap-on thing than, say, a Sears thing. > Yeah, but next you'll be telling me there's such a thing as a 7 mm allen > wrench out there.... Well, I've got a couple ... Didn't find a problem getting hold of a set from 1mm to 10mm. I'm more of a 3mm kind of guy, what with the old 8 valve classic 900 :) Where are you from BTW? I'm sure there are a lot of people here who can point you to our local/national parts & tool suppliers. Paul > Yeah, but next you'll be telling me there's such a thing as a 7 mm allen > wrench out there.... Are the SAABs of your vintage still all Torx screws/bolts? I found a couple of cross heads in mine recently and had a job sourcing the right screw driver in my "SAAB" tool kit :) Paul > Are the SAABs of your vintage still all Torx screws/bolts?
