I have heard that the traction control on the SAAB 9000's is notorious
for being problematic. I have a 92 with same.
What about the traction control on the newer 9-3 or 9-5 models? Is this
optional? Is it to be avoided when buying used?

I have sorted out part of my alarm problem. At least so that it is not
randomly  sounding in the middle of the night and degrading my
neighbourhood popularity.

I was changing the oil on my 1992 900, and decided to check out some ignition
components while waiting for oil to drain. I was measuring resistance in the
spark plug wires, which is supposed to be between 2000 and 3000 ohms. The
wires from cylinders 2, 3, and 4 all fell within that ...

I have a Saab900 2.5v6 with 82,000 miles on the clock, which has
recently developed a rather fatal problem.
On 24/03/2005 I had the car seviced at the Saab main dealer in
Sheffield (UK) and the timing belt replaced since it was due at 86,000

Thanks to all that responded to my prior question regarding brake
replacement.
What are the visual signs that would indicate rotor replacement is
necessary. And if replacement is necessary, is it difficult to replace

OK, so last year (June) I finally bit the bullet and went to the dealer to
have them replace the SID in my 99 9-5, it was a mess.  I moaned and groaned
to Saaab about this being a systemic problem that they should take care of
to no avail and finally paid the $500 plus to get the ...

My 1987 900 Aero is a RHD UK spec version.
Whilst running through the Bentley Cruise Control (CC) checks on Sunday (CC
not functioning)  I discovered the linkage to the slave(?) cylinder from the
pedal on the passenger side of the car is very loose.  Its quite competent,

1. Diagnose problem (with help from Saab Group).
2. Buy Haynes manual or similar - £15
3. Study Saab toolkit in boot. Then buy more tools, ramps, car jacks,
sockets, parts etc £50 - £100

Hello to all
My Saab dealer tells me that although my alarm battery is long-life and
usually good for as long as ten years,that  my battery could be low and
that this will cause the alarm to activate.  How is low alarm battery

I'm thinking about upgrading my stereo and I would like to install
speakers in the doors. There currently aren't any speakers there now. I
tried to remove the speaker covers with no luck. Does the whole door
panel have to be removed? Do you think the wiring is already there and I ...
