I just got a demonstration car from my dealer. 9-3 current model Lim. 1.8t BioPower. When I took over the car he had about 3500 km on the speedometer and in the on-board computer a consumption of 12.2 l (E85) was indicated for the last 450 km. I was horrified. I am currently driving a brainwashed 9-3 SportCombi 1.9 TiD. With I also need with sportive motorway ride (usually over 200 km/h) only about 7.5 max. 8 liters diesel. d if we drive it normally about 1/2 city 1/2 short distance overland then we are at 6,9 to about 7,2 l. So far the BioPower really does not knock me off and especially since the E85 costs us at present 1.08 Euro. I was just with my Saab in Bolzano and back again, with small excursions about 1450 km, then I would have become poor with the BioPower! What experiences did you have??? What is the consumption and the costs with other users??? and I’m starting to look around for a follower, because I usually buy demonstration cars or half-yearly cars. So far I’ve always had good experiences and bargains, it just takes a little more time to look for them.

Hello, 1.200km with a Saab 9-3 2.0T 210PS Lim. on the road with automatic and enthusiastic about the engine / transmission combination. The car is damn fast real 238km/h on straight stick and slightly downhill in the wind shadow of a BMW 530d real 252km/h, lt. Tacho just under 260km/h! Run your 9-3s also so good or even better???

so, today I had a visit in my saab workshop because of defective cooling water hose.ovr opened the visit in the workshop and closed the windows of the convertible always with the button with which to open the cover and close When the cover is closed open all four windows at once: tap the cover-close button once for a short time. When the cover is closed, close all four windows again: tap the cover-close button twice for a short time. then today at noon the convertible was picked up and had to find that I can no longer open and do the windows with the top button as described above. The boss of the workshop tried to fix this again, but what was not possible after his statement, because this should be such a protective mechanism for the disc?!?!?!!?? Can that be ?!?!?? What can I do so that I can open and make the windows again with the top button. That was because much more comfortable than Now.

Think seriously about getting a Saab convertible to me (from BJ 2008). Does anyone have experience with the luggage compartment’s durability? Does a stroller go in there? Is the passenger airbag lockable? Does anyone have experience with the 210 HP Turbo? Thanks for support

Hello and good morning, my Saab 1.9 tid got a new AGR valve and a new air mass meter 18 months ago. Was expensive enough. The day before yesterday check engine lights up and what does the reader say: “AGR valve defective” Again? Does something like this not last 2 years at SAAB? And then the workshop. Must be changed… but we don’t have the part there….doesn’t last two days…I say..take one of Astra, vectra signum….Workshop… anyway we don’t have there…… Ervicewüste Germany or what…..The customer can come….always again….main thing no storage costs….nee….boys so that’s nothing….

Dear people, with my beloved 9.3 Biopower Cabrio MY2008 now have the first 10,000km on the clock. Brainy 220hp, acidic, silky engine, more than sufficient driving performance! A dream! Conclusion: I am completely satisfied, both with the engine performance, the driving comfort and the functionality. A wonderfully pleasant car, you look forward to every km with it. Only one thing makes me sorrow from the beginning: In pure E85 operation I manage with normal driving mode with short and medium distance e the average consumption is barely less than 12 litres. When operating with super gasoline, the 10 litres are hard to crack! Is this representative? The range is of course limited by a lot! How are your experiences? Thank you! Axel

Hello my convertible is from 2006, I have built the Saab Infotainment Plus 300 incl. navigation system. Recently I had a total failure three or four times during the ride, i.e. the displays in the center console and up in the amature board went out, the radio muted, the navigation broke off. After about 5 seconds the radio (but with another transmitter) switched on again, the lighting on the top of the amature board burned again and the navigation started again to funkti However, the ads remained dark in the center console. I had once turned off and on again, everything works again. Question: Did any of you have this problem and how did you fix it? Thank you and sabige Grüße Gerd

Moin municipality, the general situation with our favorite manufacturer from Sweden has moved me to add a convertible to my 9-3SS – you don’t know how long you get good pieces. It should be a used one, before the big facelift, but already with the new cockpit. On Saturday I am on a test drive. What do I have to pay attention to? I already have a lot on my list: – rust at the cover cover – rust at the cover box – high pressure hoses of the cover echanism (I think it was only up to 05 a problem, right?) – Window lifter unit in the driver’s door – Ventilation blower It will, even if it will be nothing on Saturday in any case a V4 gasoline. You solderers are too vulnerable to me and moreover, the things cleavage yes. Is there anything in the model year ’07 that you absolutely have to pay attention to? Thanks already for your tips and keep on Saabing Smurf

Hello everyone. Have a problem with my automatic. Own a 9-3 year 03. The following: Between 70-80 hm/h and this in certain situations e.g. when I give off light gas on a small slope the gearbox starts to vibrate and when I walk away from the gas it is gone. This happens because the automatic changes from 75 km/h to the 5th gear and although the speed is at 1600-1700 rpm, the automatic still stays on the 5th gear instead of switching to the 4th gear. So the car runs un tertourig. This can be noticed quite well when switching to the manual circuit. With little gas you notice that the car vibrates. The lower the speed drops and you still drive with the 5th gear the noises and the hum louder. I then had a software update for the transmission carried out. It drives better and more sporty but the problem is still there. I noticed in different forums that many have this problem and to an automatic transmission oil flushing guess the most solves the problem. Someone knows about it. Thank you

My right outside mirror has “kissed” another outside mirror. The cover cap is broken. On the internet suitable new primed cover caps are offered. Questions: How difficult is an exchange for a layman? How is the cap fixed? Is there a guide for this? I found nothing on the Internet. Can someone help me? Thank you in advance poseidon
