I'm looking to replace my 1999 9-3 2.0T SE tyres, but I'm not 100% certain
as to tyre size.  It has 205/55R16 all round, but a supplier's site (where I

convertible.  My question if you would be so kind in answering is, has
anyone swapped out the Air Conditioner on a 900 to use the freon R-134a

I was wondering if anyone has any additional Saab Videos that I do not have. I have about 8 more videos coming in including the following
* Pikes Peak 2000
* Saab 900 Talledega Challenge 1996
* Saab International Delivery Program 1997

All,
Why does this newsgroup only appear to be people trying to troubleshoot their Saabs? In addition to this can we add some dialog as to Saabs marketing direction, events, and so forth? :)
In the next few months I will have nearly 50 good Saab videos for all of us to download!

A quick vacuum line question here. I'm replacing the vacuum lines on my 1992
900 (NA) with heavy silicone lines as preventive maintenance... which is good,
because many of the vacuum lines turned to dust as I took them off :)
I noticed that the vacuum line from the charcoal ...
