Hi all, just after a bit of advice from the group's collected wisdom...
Just got a 9-3SE Turbo after changing jobs and losing my company Ford Focus
ST170 (bit of a toy, high-revving rollerskate that handled like it's on
rails)

I have a 99 9-3 CV. The heater control knob is broken again! I
guess this is a frequent problem on early year 9-3s. Is it possible
to retrofit an electronic box instead of constantly replacing the
manual box, just to have it bind up again? Did Saab leave all the

How do I disconnect the fuel line fittings on my 9-5?  They're
coming from the bulkhead up to the fuel rail, and have a metal
sleeve on the "car end" and a rubber, 3-winged insert or nut type
thing on the "engine end".  I can spin that rubber insert, but that doesn't

For reasons I really don't want to go into right now, I'm asking an
uncomfortable question.
What are my engine options for a '99 9-5 which currently has a very
misbehaving 2.3L LPT engine?  My burst PCV hose(s) seem to have been

My 900 commemorative convertible exhibits the following symptoms:
1. When starting the car, I'll turn the ignition key and nothing
happens - no dash lights, etc.  I'll keep turning it on  & off until
finally lights come on and it starts.  During this process, I'll flash

I've started setting up a special feature section on the Saab C900
'Enduro' on Craig's C900 Workshop at:
http://www.saab900classic.net/enduro.html
It's linked from the gallery page only at present, and there are two sets

I noticed an interesting feature of my 1992 900s tonight: the random and
unbidden operation of the dome light. It seems to be turning itself on and off
while I drive, seemingly at random. The switch is, as usual, in positing "1"
(i.e. on when door opens). Any thoughts as to where I ...

I have a 1994 9000CSE and need to replace the turn signal relay.  It is
located somewhere behind the fuse panel above the passenger side floor
/ below the passenger airbag.
I am completely stumped as to how to access the relays-- I can seem to

I have a 2001 9-3 4 door with a hatch that rattles more than I'd like.
Does anyone have any experience getting it to quiet down? While it
closes easily, all it takes is a solid close of one of the rear doors
to make the hatch visibly move up and down a bit. I thought originally

I own a -86 Saab 900i. I've had some trouble with getting the car going at
cold weather. I have checked the transmission fluid and the level is okay.
When it's very cold, the car doesn't move at all until the engine and the
transmissionfluid warms up a bit. When the system is warm, ...

I didn't get a chance to do much today but we did turn up the Haynes manual.
It looks to be a faulty FP relay, I have a heavy guage jumper setup to
jump around it tomorrow.
Thx for the help everybody.

I just returned from a holiday visit to the state of Utah, where I noticed
numerous classic 900s-- must be the necessity of driving in snowy mountain
weather.
I spotted a couple 4-doors, both NA (like mine) and turbo, and several 2-door

Does the 84 classic 900 sedan have two pumps?
I know this particular car has a pump found in the trunk, on top of the
tank. I looked underneath and only saw the accumulator with it's in/out
lines and a vent tube to the atmosphere. It had no electrical connections.

Several questions regarding the 97x.
1) does anyone know if it has a third row seats?
2) available in-line six cylinder?
3) is it really a Saab or just another GM SUV?

Hi all. Forgive the beginners question but can anyone tell me how I identify
which version of the Trionic software I have on my car. It is a 9-5 2.0 SE
lpt registered in September 2000 but the VIN identifies it as a MY2001. I
need to know as I am considering purchasing a BSR ...
