140mile shakedown run home.
Drives nice.
Roof and leather OK, but not quite as good as it looked in the picture.
Will be fine. Main roof problems are the edging tape is broken away in

Ciao a tutti

Volevo innanzi tutto salutarvi e complimentarmi con voi tutti.
Sto per acquistare una saab 9-3 diesel anno 1999.

GM goes global:

This actually sounds like one of the smarter moves GM has made.  Took them
long enough.  It will clearly take years to implement.  Now if they can only

Anyone download "Ordinary Day" from Saabvideos.com?
Hilarious!

GM opens $26m Swedish science office
26th August 2005
General Motors will open a new science office in Trollhättan, Saab___s home town, that will expand its work in the areas of vehicle safety, emissions and advanced ...

  Does anybody know what the offical name is for the red paint on my
91' 900.  I am aware that it may simply be "red", but I'm guessing that
Saab would come up with some wonderfully crafty surname.(I'm trying to
settle a bet here.)

Following on from Clifford Bernard's SuperSwede being offered for sale via
Ebay recently, it has started me wondering just how many of these unique
Saab 9000's made it to Australia, and apart from Cliff's (which is a
beautiful car and I wish I had $10k to buy it!) what happened to ...

My 2002 9-5 Aero started dying when idling, and the "Check Engine" light
came on.  Oh boy.  Take it to the dealer, describe the problem, and the
service manager immediately identifies it as a faulty "throttle body."  
Tech II confirms it, and says the car is in "limp home" mode.  ...

The best use of the Haynes manual (came with the car) appears to be for
home heating.
Where can I get a real manual? Apparently there is no Bently like for
the 900 and I could not find much online today.

Anyone else see this? I know most of you aren't 9-7x fans, but I have
my Directv Tivo programmed to record anything with SAAB in the title or
description. It caught a nice review of the 9-7x on 8/14, 5 am, on our
local channel 49 (Akron,Cleveland area PBS).

Strange.... Someone flashed me that only one headlight was working. So the
next morning I changed the bulb for a new one, but still no headlight.
Strangely, when I turned on the high beam it was working! But on normal
(dimmed) beam, there's no light. I checked the 3 pin connector ...

Back again.
New to us 92 9000 Turbo with 190k miles. Red, mostly in good condition
with some minor body issues. Comments on minor problems welcome. I find
it is nice for everything to work as it should, even on an old car.

Roof might need some work sometime soon (the mechanism is fine the cover
is a little "wear and tear" in places). The rest of the car has had a
lot of work done.

We bought a 92 9000 Turbo 2.3l today. It is red. It has a few minor
dings but otherwise is a nice car. A few problems:
ACC blows hot unless you go to manual (temp to "LO"). However I read the
manual and recalibrated the system and that seemed to help. There is one

The SRS(airbag) light stayed on after I started the engine of my SAAB'97 SE
last week.  Today I sent the car to the dealership and had it checked.  The
error code they told me is B1227 - the SRS light is not working properly and
needs to be replaced, and the cost is US$270.  ...
