Season greetings to all.

I cant believe this - Ive had 3 x 9000's before and never had a problem
with them, but Ive found the boot carpet either side of the wheel well
soaking wet. Theres nothing in the wheel well except for a slight run
off from the carpet. The boot door seals are good so I c'ant figute ...

Hello, I just had the 96 000 km service on my 2002 9-3 (5 doors). They
change all the oils, filters and spark plugs on the car. Also I have
changed the battery because it was dying on me.
Before the service I was averaging 7.5 l / 100 km on the highways and

When I start my Saab,  my heater/AC display shows a  0 in the left  of the
display. After 30 seconds, the regular display comes on and everything is
ok.  Being a pessimist, I assume that this means that the display unit is
getting ready to die.. Please tell me I'm wrong.   ( It ...

Hi I have  a 1996 saab 900s with 140 000km on the odometer.  I have
tried changing the light bulbs to no avail.
 Would anybody have any suggestions about what the problem could be?
...  And as I think of it, I also have an oil leak from the front of

I took my 2001 9-3 Aero in to my local dealer yesterday or them to
locate a coolant leak and, to cut a long story short, they ended up
changing the DI cassette!
I've heard Saabs in some other markets have been recalled already, but

Hello all.  Two questions.  First would be a good online source for a
replacement driver's outer tail light for my '02 9.5 Linear.  The
cheaper the better, so long as the quality's there, natch.  Second, is
it possible for me to do this replacement or is it a dealership/shop

I would like to share my recent (successful) experience fixing cruise control
on my 1992 900. It started malfunctioning several years ago, and ultimately
stopped working at all. I fixed it by re-soldering the contacts on the circuit
board, but it broke again after about a week. It ...

6 months ago I bought a SAAB 9-3 Convertible, only 72000 miles on the
clock. Nice car, the first SAAB I have ever driven. I have no regrets.
However, recently I have begun experiencing problems with the CD
player, (single front-loader, no multi-changer). I make plenty of long

Of the two keys I have with my 9-5  SE (2000, v6) one has a slightly bent
shaft.  Sometimes it would stick in the Lock position.   I went to the SAAB
dealership to have a new one made. The key arrived but it didn't work, in
fact it didn't even match my good key.  So another was ...

I recently purchased a 1987 Saab 900, 4 door, normally aspirated. I
shut it off coming home from work (it was a pretty cold night, but not
below 30f I'd say) The next day I started it up and it made a
incredibly loud screaming noise (one could say squealing as well). I

I'm investigating what's out there in the way of 8V turbo cylinder heads
which are off known-good engines and do not have the excessively-bad
coolant passage corrosion evident in the existing head removed from the
engine my 83 8V turbo 900, or failing that, possibly a new or

Today I noticed my driver side winshield washer jet not working at all.
The passenger side was working fine. Thinking the jet might be clogged,
I used a pin to unblock it, and I filled the reservoir (which was
almost empty). The driver side jet sqirted half strength onto the

I am a fairly new owner of a 2003 Saab 9-3 2.0t.  The car appears to
have been well maintained by former owner(s), but is high-mileage -
100,000 miles.
As some point, the engine oil was changed from synthetic (factory
