Ho hum.
After a productive afternoon replacing the defective heater valve I had
my 1985 8 valve injected 900 idling away quite happily to get up to
temperature so I could check for coolant leaks.

Hey . I'm being offered Saab 9-5 2000 model for $5,500. This car has
120,000 miles on the clock, clear title history and seems to be in good
condition. Problem is the price is so low that I'm worried there might
be something wrong with the car. Seller claims car's perfect but  I

For ages I've been suspecting that my 1985 900i has a suspension problem in
that either both rear springs have shrunk from having too much load placed
on the rear of the car by previous owners (perhaps using trailers), or
something else.

My 1987 C900 has Saab window deflectors; how do I remove them without
breaking them?
A not very good picture of them:

OK, so I've had my first Saab for 3 years now. A '92 dark green 9000CS LPT
with leather etc. I can't say she's ever let me down in a big way, but she's
beginning to show her age (160,000ml) and with the amazing value of these
cars in the UK I'm tempted to try the full pressure turbo ...

Some may remember how I asked, about 6 months ago, about missing pixels on a
SID display (pardon the redundacy, since the acronym stands for system
information display, I guess). Shortly thereafter, on a scheduled service,
the SID unit was replaced entirely under warranty. Just ...

This is odd, it is winter here in Ohio so after I have started the Saab
and driven anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes, there is a thud sound in
the roof as though a rock had hit the car. My guess is the metal in the
roof is expanding due to the car heating up ????

I have 4 2003 SAAB Aero wheels and tires ( Not New but in good shape)
Can any body recommend the best way to post them for sale on the net and
 the asking price?
Tires are Original Equpment and have 35 k miles on them. Wheels as well.

Hello - I seem to have a broken spring in the front of a 1998 900S... I
went over a speed bump that was really nastily shaped. I didn't think I
was going fast at all and there was a rather big bang. I thought louder
than on the way going in which I took at a similar speed.

Any idea why my gas mileage has been dropping (LPT 9-3 5-speed, model
year 2001)? It started from low 20s in town and now it is down to 17.2.
I do drive short distances (~2 mi) but this has been the same while the
gas mileage has been falling. It is winter here but I still think 17 ...

During a cold spell here (-24 celcius) my coolant level has dropped and SID
is telling me to fill it up. In the manual there are no specifications on
what fluid to use. It says saab approved fluid, but surely if something can
be found with the same properties, wouldnt this do? What ...

Greetings one and all,
I just bought my first SAAB,  a '96 900 SE turbo Convertable,  that
needs minor TLC. I need to find a gas cap,  replacement seatbelt for
the driver,  figure out why the perfectly good looking roof does not

I have a 1985 UK spec (right hand drive) 5dr which has a lot of travel in
the clutch pedal before it does anything and it struggles to disengage
with what usable travel it does have.
Other than air in the system - it doesn't feel spongy in the way brakes

What should I beware of with a purchase of this car ? If maintained
could I get an additional 200,000KM(125,000mi) out of this vehicle
without paying an arm and a leg?

Quick question, are the 2.1 L 16v engine directly exchangeable for a 2.0 L?
Would an older 2.0 L Saab's emission and engine control system run properly
if a a 2.1 L engine were dropped in?
Thanks,
