Anyone replaced turbo charger on '01 9-5 SE? For how long have you had smoke

when I start.
My dealer told me that after turbo replacement I'll see some smoke cause

This week I receive a letter from Saab USA stating that a small

       We have a 2004 9-3 sedan, and being the shade tree mechanic
that I am, I thought I’d change the oil on this beast myself. Well,
after 30 minutes of clambering around....I could not find the oil

I have a 1985 900 which is badly in need of repairs and/or
replacement of shift linkage for the manual transmission.

manual transmission there is one, and both aren't labelled.

The local Utah dealer is offering $7000 incentives on the 9-2X.  I think the
list is in the low 20's.

I'm really worried about the brand.  Think I'll hang onto my 2002 9-3 for

Can anyone here advise about the installation of a trailer hitch on my '88

Wanting to be able to tow a three-rail motorcycle trailer. Do-able?

Well, my alternator passed to the great beyond as I was exiting a
freeway. Fun stuff. It had foul electrical smelling smoke coming out of
