I just topped off my brake fluid with transmission fluid. Bad idea, I
was not paying attention.
I suctioned out what I could and then filled it with brake fluid - DOT3.
Then I realized it should be DOT4. Suctioned that out too.

my saab goes into 1st 3rd fourth and fifth but wont go intro 2nd?
could you tell me what th problem might be?
Thank You MazeyMoo

We are looking for a first car for our 18-year-old son.  A local used car
lot has a 1996 900S with 108,000 miles.  Our son really likes the car.  I'm
unfamiliar with Saabs.  What sort of maintenance issues might I expect from
this car?  It has an automatic transmission.  Also, ...

when installing new brake hoses I found that both front bleed nipples were
broken off on the calipers.
I dont really like to do all the work to replace them...  any ideas for
bleeding without using those nipples?

My 2001 Saab 9-3 convertible has had a repeated problem with the DI
cassette.  I purchased it used at around 55k miles and have had it for
apx. 3 years and it now has 79k.  In that time the DI cassette has
been replaced THREE times and just went out AGAIN.  I know these are

I have just become the proud owner of a 1998 9-5SE 2.3
The thing is, is that the previous owner didnt have the handbook, so i am asking where the
best place to source one is, here in the UK. I see a 2000 model year on Ebay, but, how
different in terms of changes made between the 2 ...

My engine started making noises a couple of weeks ago and this week
was louder.  Sounded like bearings in the alternator or similar.  With
water leaking now I assume the worst with the water pump.  Does anyone
know what the cost to have a mechanic repair it might run?

I bought my 2002 Linear sedan about two months ago.  Yesterday an SUV
hit the Saab from the passenger side with impact from the wheel well
forward.  My husband, who was driving, sustained a minor scratch to
his knee.  The Saab itself is a mess.  The SUV, comparatively

I picked up my red 89 16V c900 back from the smash repairer on Wednesday
after A$4300 worth of insurnance-covered (except for the excess) repair
work! Major parts replaced were the A-pillar (not sure if that's new but I
think it is), driver's side door (good used), driver's side ...

i'd like a fascia adaptor for my 900s "Talladega" (R reg - 1997).
The original unit (with cassette player) is kind of unwanted as it barely
works (tuner randomly plays - could be an aerial problem however - CD

My headlight dimmer switch stopped working. If I pull on the switch to
go to high beams, the lights will go high until I let go of the
switch. It does not hold them on high beam. How pricey of a repair am
I looking at? Does the steering when have to come off or is it a

I was just strolling down my links page (gratuitous self promotion:

Association web page and it was down. There is only a place holder there
which asks for the main page to be loaded.

Today I took our 2001 Aero 9-5 with manual tranny out to run errands.
Driving down the highway, it is throwing heat. Outside temp reads 78
(and climbing because I am losing altitude as I head towards Denver from
2000 feet above it) and it is not like the A/C is not working, it is

The A/C on my SAAB 9000 T is not working so it hasn't been driven too
much in the summer. Only on those occasional cold, cloudy days west of
Denver.
The other day was one of those so I decided to take it. The SRS light

I know old Saabs have oil leakage issues but do they also have serious
electric problems - expensive to have fixed? Heard this recently from a
mechanic relative both to a non-functioning horn and heated driver's seat.
