A friend has got a 9-3 (he bought it because of me ;-) ).  External
temperature gauge is faulty :-)
Where is the external air temperature sensor located?  (BTW. I don't
have a manual for 9-3s).

2003 93 linear, 29k miles I have replaced 3 bulbs so far in one month - hi
beam left, low beam left, hi beam right, now it says right low beam failure.
does it sound weird so many light bulbs in such short time,  Also they are
pain in a... to replace - no space. Any trick anyone ...

Saab 1994 AERO- 140K miles most likely will be totaled. Any one interested
for parts?

Just picked up a 1989 900 turbo convertible with electrical issues. I
have 2 main problems-wiper motor runs but not strong enough to make it
across the windshield + at idle the engine surges. I know there are
some electrical bugs in the car because when I turn on the wipers the

When I bought my 900 last month, I promised i would post some pics of it.
Heres the first one.

I'm so proud ;-)

I recently asked my (usually competent) independent mechanic
if the knock sensor on my plain vanilla `85 900 was working
correctly.  He says I don't have one.  Is he correct?

I am putting together my '01 Viggen engine after balancing chain
failure and see that oil pan and timing cover use liquid gaskets
instead of traditional paper ones.
The local dealer recommends anaerobic sealant for oil pan ($45) and

In my 9-3 '06 sport combi aero, I don't have anyplace where to plug my iPOD.
Is there anything I can do ?

i got this car about a month ago and i would like to get some thoughts
and opinions on a problem.
first of all, let me start by saying that this is my first car, and i
intend to take good care of it and keep it for years to come.

Check where it is leaking.
The famous place is between Cilinderhead and Engine body just near the ingnition distributer.
Solution, remove the head, renew gasket en use on the edge extra liquid gasket material.
The cilinder head needs to be machined before you can put it back.

My 9000 cd 16V 1988 has a problem in its abs pump: the liquid comes off
and I can't brake (the brake is hard). Saab here in Italy wants 800 €
for the new item; Is there anyone who knows where to buy spare cheaper
parts?

I'm doing rotors and pads on a 1999, 9-3, manual.
The passenger side worked like a charm, everything came off nicely and
went back together in no time.
The driver side however is proving to be quite a dog. First, the screw

My 97 9000 Aero has, I think, developed a leak in or near the heater core.
Two major symptoms bring me to this conclusion. First, I can smell
anti-freeze in the car when the heat is turned on. No such smell in the
summertime. Second, when I come back to the car after it has been ...

Grrrr.  Stopped working, just when I finally get the wash fluid pumping
through the wiper goes flaky!
I hit the button on the dash and the wiper swings up across the screen but
wont come back.  There is a whirring noise coming from the unit.  If I get

I have a 2006 9-3 Aero.  The coolant level has needed refilling twice in the
last 5 months.  Has anyone had this same problem?   There are no leaks that
I can see or find, no marks on the garage floor.  Any help or ideas are
welcome
