I just bought a used 2003 Saab 9-5 Sport wagon with 17 inch wheels. I
am seriously thinking of converting to 16 inch wheels for improved
tire wear, ride and traction, especially in the winter months. Does
anyone have any suggestions or comments. Am I overly concerned?  The

What adhesive do I need to use to replace the hood emblem on my 900?

My 2000 Saab 9-5 is full of water.  I can hear running water
while I drive and it is wet under the front seats.
I took my car into my mechanic about two months ago, he
drained the water out of my car frame and he said he fixed

Two days ago I bought 92' 9000 CS 2.3T. Everything works fine except for
ventilation fan. I have checked fan itself and it works, however, with
ignition ON buttons on the climate control unit do not make fan work. Do you
have any ideas what could be causing this?

My 97 9000 Aero has developed an intermittent squeaking coming from the air
conditioning blower. It's probably a bearing in the fan rather than a
problem with the blower motor itself. When the fan is squeaking and I turn a
corner, the squeaking stops, then restarts when I resume ...

Hello again Saab experts!  My '90 900 non-turbo is starting to make clunking
sounds from the front axle when I make hard turns.  I'm guessing this is the
outer CV joints. The car has about 75,000 miles.  My question is whether I need
to replace both the inner and outer CV joints to ...

I accelerate normally when I get a green light at the stop light and
like 95% of the time I'm the slowest accelerating vehicle on the road
and the cars that were in parallell lanes always out accelerate me by

Any suggestions for good insurance for  a new driver to the US who is
buying a 1997 9000 in MA, please?

Is it possible (read: relatively easy and not too expensive) to

system?
My '97 900 has the manual AC but I really would like the auto system

When I try to put my hazard warning lights on nothing happens unless I move
the indicator stalk up or down after pressing the hazard button. Any ideas
why?

I was left standing at the lights today. By a Mondeo. To make matters worse
it was a diesel. I love my 1993 9000CS 2 litre. I've had it for just over a
year now..... but is there something wrong with it? Or do I need a 2.3l? A
turbo? An Aero? Or can my own car be "tuned" for better ...

The car is 1997 (9000 LPT).  A while back one of the headlight wiper
motors went, as the car was going at the dealer's anyway I asked to have
it replaced.  They never kept the old unit despite having asked them to
do so.  (the new one cost an arm and a leg).  BAsically I had ...

I have a US '97 900.
Why are the mud flaps located along the middle of each side of the car
as opposed to being near the tires?
I'm tired of going over speed bumps and high curbs and hearing scraping

Hello eveybody in Saab newsgroup land.  I have a 1999 9-3 se, with updated
ecu blow-off and boost control valve.  I have tweaked it so that I am
running at max boost.  But, my question is, would it be worth it to install
a turbo timer, or has anybody else installed one.  I was ...
