Does anyone know if there will be discounted chip tunings from April on? Last year, for example, the update for the 1.9 TiD cost only 999,- instead of 1276,- EUR. In the Amiland some dealers already advertise with it, but of course they can also be an independent action!? Btw: Why did I actually pay attention to the case in the complete article? I think I’m getting old…

there is already a spritsparthread here? I now have the cabrio with the 2.0t engine since 1mon. At first I was still well over 8liter / 100km (which I guess is why) but I seem to want to go to the car. today I was down to 7,1 and would say that this is still to be underbid! and brainwashed should it sink again??? from neugierde: what do you others have like this?

Hello hertzkasper, with all due respect for your meticulousness, your expertise and the great effort you make to give your knowledge to everyone. I have some questions as an older semester. Why do you and your readers spend so much time, money and work on this audio upgrade of your vehicles? Television is already offered, as I read. Is it not enough to focus fully on driving, the sonorous sound of the engine to lukewarmly Do you enjoy this at all when music or language penetrates your brain cells from all directions or pipes? Do you not get distracted by the variety of impressions while driving? When I imagine how many cars I have to drive, do you not get distracted by the variety of impressions during driving? mobilising through this noise during their work, and driving a car is work, being distracted, many things do not surprise me any more on our streets. No offense, but personally this whole effort is creepy to me, I don’t want to talk about the additional costs at all.

Good morning, together To all who are interested. I took the victim on me this morning, and got up once at 6:30 clock, and drove with my deer to the ADAC power test stand in Ridlerstr in Munich. Result: standard power: 154.5 kW ( 210,1 hp ) according to DIN 70020 engine power: 146.5 kW ( 199,2 hp ) wheel power: 104.5 kW ( 142,1 hp ) towing power: 42,0 kW ( 57,1 hp ) max. power at 193 km/h or 5500 rpm ( 4th gear ) torque: 327 Nm max. torque at 99 k m/h or 2820 rpm ( 4th gear ) Max. speed: 218 km/h ( 4th gear ) Maximum speed: 6210 rpm ( 4th gear ) Air pressure: 966mBar Air temperature: 23°C Oil temperature: 81°C Deviation of the measurement results according to the manufacturer of the test stand < 1% . I scan the data sheet on occasion and set it in this thread. Otherwise at this point again a high on deer !!!!!! Gruss, Chris P.S.: Maybe someone in the Munich area ( get ), also such a te to make with his deer to compare...

Hello everyone Since today I am one of the proud owners of a black SAAB 9-3 performance (brain with 252hp)! Absolutely a cool car. Had to decide very quickly, since it seems that this car will no longer exist with exactly this equipment and motorization. Well, my most important question at the moment is, is there a coilover suspension for this car? The already deeper suspension is not bad, but had so far in all my cars (Polo, Audi A4, RS4) imm I like it full and really sporty. My demand directly at Hirsch and various tuning shops did not result in the desired success. And the other question is, how can I get rid of the girth of the belt control? Is really annoying. Otherwise, what should I keep in mind? Drive in? When Turbo really need the first time? Today I drove incredibly 31km 😉 For tips and other things I am very grateful. A proud SAAB owner :-)) Bye and Gruss Phil

This week, with a new (600km on the speedometer) 9-3 1.9 Tdi with Sentronic in the middle of the road, the following happened to me: Without any warning, the engine and all the lights and systems run out. As if someone had taken off the plug. Fortunately, this happened on a little busy side road. Don’t think about what could happen with a overtaking manoeuvre or on the highway. According to my garage, this could happen occasionally. Ch2 rebooting one or the other control unit and then the box is running again. I didn’t think I heard it right. This car is life-threatening. The funny thing about it. It was a replacement car because my 9-3 Aero Cabriolet has been in the workshop for three weeks with mechanical and electronic problems. The car is now 19 months old and was already over 10 times with similar problems in the garage. It would be such a great car but for me this is probably the topic Saab is done. I don’t like to tell you about the communication skills of the Saab leaders. It’s just a tragedy. If only I had kept the old 9-3 convertible…… An extremely disappointed (yet) Saab enthusiast.

Hello together, what do the uni colors look like at the convertible? Should one necessarily take a metallic paint or are the others ok, in terms of quality etc… Background of my question. After a long consideration I decided to stay black riders. What does the new Jetblack look like? Greetings, Frank

Drive a 93 Aero Cabrio with 6 gears circuit for about 14 days. From the beginning, the 2nd gears were difficult to install. In the warm operating conditions, switching became easier. After motorway operation flawless. However, in the morning, when the engine is cold, the 2nd gears are annoying. Does anyone have similar problems? Or was this solved by a corresponding grated oil (viscosity)? Are gear oil additives recommended here? For a short information I am grateful.

until my visit to the IAA, I had actually shot myself at the opera signum with 2.8 liter turbo, but unfortunately the quality in the interior didn’t convince me at all. for this, the new saab has stabbed me into the eye and I got a little bit more information… a question about the factory details still remains: in the opera vectra opc is obviously the same engine in it, how come there, at least according to the specialist press, 260 km/h peak and at the saab significantly less? is d What experiences did you have with your saab minus rattle noises after a few years??? the bugs of my BMW 330 (E46). Is Saab better, even worse??? Think of the Saab Kombi as a real alternative to the 330 D touring. The 3 litre petrol truck from BMW has just too little pull for me, the Saab should go really well in the opposite. Are there experiences???? Thank you for the answers!
