Category: Saab 900 II & 9-3 I Forum

Hello Soundfreaks It’s time now, I need a new wiring. I have now managed to sink an amplifier into the middle console after some leads…. but now I have to replace the cables, they have just become too thin for me *he following question, please….. I played with the disguises yesterday evening… just somehow I don’t dare over it a little bit! what would I have to consider if I took the front door disguise down? Thanks already for the trouble, lg thom

Report My brainwashed 9-3 received Philips used Viggen springs and I wanted to summarize: My problem with original suspension* was that the car shuddered on ground waves (Lebensungsstraße Berlin-Tiergarten) and narrower motorway curves with over 200 km/h gave me a very uncertain impression as a vehicle driver. Admittedly subjective, but I think every average driver would experience this the same way. So Philips used Viggen wheels r One and: SUPER! Very, very nice steering and balancing behavior. The springs are not (!) deeper than the originals. Also traffic calming measures (Berlin KuFü-Straße direction Dennewitzstr.) in the form of road hubs can be mastered well. Disadvantage: The car is still very high. (photos follow) The open wheel box areas around the tires are a disappointment. Conclusion: A real retrofit recommendation for “fines of lowering”, which are looking for a better road position. of optical problems, see photo here (before Viggen): http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/521/rr6tv.jpg stelo (*Since the 16″ and 205 are a little less.)

After a few months of work, I didn’t have time to take care of my vehicle, I finally have to get to the brakes and need help. Problem: When braking down at high speeds, I have the feeling that the front axle is flying apart. It’s incredible at the front and my box is hard to hold. I have a 9-3 aero01 with hibernating step2, but unfortunately still the original brake system. I want a reliable, well-packed Bre manlagen, which allows constantly fast driving and possibly also a short detour on the ring – my dream is to move the car there times. But only with correct brake, I by chance came across some horror pictures of Philipp’s racing and the empty brake line – so would my serial brake look after the first turn… Can anyone recommend me something? Maybe not exactly extremely expensive? (Two months ago I had an offer here from the Ru I would also be grateful for a tire tip on my Aerofelge 17”… Drive at the time 215/45 ZR17, Dunlop, but what exactly did I forget.

Hello, I’m here again. My last problem with the leaky diesel line in my 9-3 2,2 TiD was fixed very quickly, meanwhile I already got an estimate for 1x repainting bonnet again. Such a …. has cut off a smaller tree, while my beautiful Saab was not even 50cm away from it….I guess a branch fell off during the action…But that’s only on the edge. I am a computer scientist by profession and usually know me with stuff like that. Video recorders, microwaves, even a PC, everything is no problem, but the automatic climate control of a Saab 9-3 then exceeds my expectations. Had so far only ON/OFF in a climate But the curiosity drives me around and actually I can’t just leave something like that, if you can already program it Can someone call me a meaningful programming, or is the factory side already good enough? P.S. The manual of the Saab has already surprised me, normal I would have suspected 2-3 languages more in a booklet

Hello Forum, I never thought it would be possible for me to be interested in Car-Hifi, but the sound system in the 9-3 (I) made it in less than a week: It just sounds grütze There were even the serial speakers in my 96 Corolla significantly better. More balanced sound bill, more pressure and more abundance, but more transparency. The Saab system sounds thin and somehow unharmonious. Question therefore: What is so bad about the built-in system, the radio or the speakers? Differently asked: Does it bring something, simply to install other loudspeakers (front, possibly only above?), or is a power amplifier mandatory? Or even another radio that I would like to avoid … Would be grateful about a few tips, would also like to know about information about the speaker exchange, if useful (type, size – am an absolute layman in this regard) Merci Seb.

… with a few questions presents itself. So not I am the freshling, have already asked here and received many answers (thanks again!), but my Saabinchen is new(-used). 9-3 BJ 2001, 2.0t. I am so happy, but I still have a few questions: Topic Traction Control TCS: In the manual it says that this is an option – and immediately at least the corresponding switch is missing. I thought that is in general – wrong? Can you retrofit the w Thema Warndreieck/Verbandskasten: Do Saab veterans have a tip, where best with it? In the trunk one goes *joy*. Thema knarzen from behind:It sounds like it comes from the area of the antenna – can that be the well-known rear seat knarzer? How do I fix it? Thema SID: Is still fine, i.e.: No pixel errors. Makes sense to approach the “foam modification” already now, so that all pixels are preserved, or better “if it is w oks, don’t fix it”? Topic Tempomat: Retrofitting is easily possible if I have the flash stick exchanged or replaced – right or wrong? Where can I get a corresponding part? Topic Middle armrest: Where, what’s the price, what’s the fit? The same applies to a beautiful leather switch bag – the rubber is not very nice … can I change it myself, or do I have to put the switch button away? Topic Mobile phone: The multi-function steering wheel has a telephone button – in what way pre-equipment So, many questions, but hopefully many answers? Thank you very much Seb.

Hello, since the day before yesterday, unfortunately a door lock on our 900 II 2,3 SE – BJ 96 is defective. If you open the left, rear door, you can no longer close it after that, i.e. the locking mechanism in the door is apparently stuck in the wrong position and then beat hard against the locking device, if you want to close the door – the door does not fall into the lock and can not be closed completely. With a little grope you get the bar with the screwdriver again. n the right position, so that the door closes again – the game starts again from the front at the next opening. Practically the whole thing happened to me for the first time the day before yesterday during the interview, so that after the conversation in a good suit I knelt around the SAAB door, when my potential boss just came out of the office 😉 I then provisionally fixed the two rear doors on the handles with a tension belt and drove home – has little At home I got it again (see above) but at the next door opening it was like before. I had already removed the door panel, but could not notice anything – but I am also no SABB lock professional and don’t really know what to look for – but would like to avoid a visit to the workshop because of such small things. Central locking and door handles inside and outside work normally. Does anyone have an idea ?? Thanks and Gruss Martin

Hello, as described in the title, the check engine lights up. I’ve been told how many times this is a typical SAAB disease. But what is really behind it? It just burns, so it doesn’t flash (short, long or other pattern). It’s just on! What’s it got on it? Then I wanted to know if there are different straps? I mean, some probably have chain and other straps. Which one affects this and this one where it affects it in general so that this one then also always have chain? We have a 900 II 2.3L S, 110KW EZ: 12/93 (94 model) 5Doors Dear Thanks for your help/response

Greetings, for a year I am absolutely proud owner of my 9-3 Anni 2.2 TID (now 115,000km mileage). Up to now everything went perfectly except for the sporadic CHECK ENGINE message. On Sunday I was then on the way from Hamburg to Fehmarn. Just behind Lübeck then the unplanned stop. At 120km/h (Tempomat) he jumped suddenly into the CHECK ENGINE emergency running mode. So far I had this problem only in the partial load range between 80 and 100km/h. By a restart d So far I was able to drive it normally. But on Sunday he ran restless afterwards and shook himself. 1 unusual cylinder, according to the announcement of the ADAC. Towing service then brought him to Saab in Lübeck. A compression pressure test then resulted in confirmation – 1 cylinder without pressure. Then I reported to workshops in Hamburg. Workshop 1 says I have to reckon with the worst, i.e. piston eater etc. Workshop 2 said they had never had a A test drive from the workshop manager a few weeks ago showed no weaknesses or suspicious foreign noises. My hope is therefore that it is only an unusual injection nozzle. Tomorrow I will be driving the car with a trailer from Lübeck to Hamburg, Germany. I will be able to find out more about the car, but I will not be able to get the car back to Hamburg. Then in the next step the cylinder head is removed and a look at the pistons is taken. Do you have experiences or opinions on this topic? An engine damage would be a tragedy for me!!! Thank you and best regards!

with the request for help: was on the highway and at once the warning light for the battery went on and the steering was heavier. later the radio went off, the heat indicator went up and the tacho played crazy, also the abs light and the brake light went on. so I drove still a few kilometers until I finally lay down the lights were meanwhile also off and at the end twitched twice the engine light on. the workshop says, V-belt is not meh r there and the suspension is broken / missing too. also the climate compressor has broken. the calculation is already over 1000 euro and it is not clear whether the engine is also broken. I don’t know if I should give the order. who knows if the engine has also broken or if other parts can be affected. it is worth doing it again. saab 9.3 cabrio turbocharger bj99 model2000 many thanks to lisa
