I just last week bought a 5 spd 2000 9-3 with 62k miles. It was at the
dealship for a few months and has only been driven rarely in that time.
Each morning when i first take off for the day the car rattles/shakes
breifly. I can avoid the rattle most times by riding the cluck til i

Just today, unfortunately 3Km's to go to get home, so I could not get
the jubileum mileage on photo...
But 300.003 makes a nice picture as well ;-)

The remote keyless entry key fob is starting to be really picky as to
whether it wants to work, or not. Also, the black rubber pads are
starting to wear through.
Can anyone suggest a cheap source for a replacement? Also, what's

Still looking, got a pocket full of cold hard cash too....

Yes, the woman who actually used the phrase "gee whiz technology" to
describe Saabs is gone from Saab Cars USA.  However, I'm not so convinced we
have a winner in the new Saab Cars USA chief...Jay Spenchian.  He's a
former marketing guy at Cadillac.

Just had a service on a 2001 9-3 (75,000 kilometers). Report said the water
pump was "weeping." They said it should be fixed relatively soon. Is this a
common problem, and how soon do you reckon it should be done? How big a job
is it?

99 9-5 SE, Manual Transmission, 2.3T
I've had this problem for a while, started after I told the Saab guys to
program the locking system to automatically lock all of the doors when I
start driving and to have the remote unlock all when I push the button

I looked at a 94 9000 CDE this weekend that was in exceptional shape,
except for one important aspect - the car really had no boost. Even
though it was automatic, the turbo should still create a good amount of
accelleration. The turbo guage indicated normal boost, same as my 900

i bought a used '99 saab 9-3, and it didnt come with either of the
remotes that the car originally came with. saab says that in order to
take advantage of the cars keyless entry system, -it needs one of the
original remotes to match up the programing, and that if the remotes

I am looking to replace my lower(?) heater hose, it is a Y'ed hose that
runs from the firewall( heater matrix) to the water pump and branches
off to under the carb area.  My problem is that the end at the water
pump is impossible to get at, I can sort of see the hose clamp, but ...

Getting ready to replace front pads and rotors on my 2000 9-3.
Everything I have seen says it is quite simple. Basically push the
caliper back, pull the guide pins, remove and replace rotors, and button up.
Now, a guy at work is telling me, that you shouldn't just push the

Folks...the ACC has started behaving oddly. It works for around the first 30
minutes of a journey, though tends to heat the cabin a bit more than the
temperature setting suggests it should. After that time the air coming out
of the ducts rapidly cools, until even with the control ...

Hi all! What is the torque setting for aluminium wheels on an 2004 9-3
cabriolet?

I took a look today to change my oil, and I couldn't find the oil drain
plug on my 94 9000 CDE. There was one rather large bolt next to the oil
filter, but it did not seem like that would be it. All other bolts
seemed to have a specific function other than a drain plug. Where ...

This garage has a SAAB 9000c 1997 Manual transmission for $1,100.00 USD.  It
has 110,000 miles.  When you turn the staring wheel the cars power staring
bumps.  I think it is the power steering pump, because it has lot of power
steering fluid.  Correct me if you think otherwise.  I ...
