Category: Saab 9-3 II Sport Forum

Hello together, recently I acquired a YS3F MJ 2007 as 1.8t. After recent research I found that apparently all have the same engine. Therefore the question of what is the difference of the 3 variants. Bzw maybe also how I can upgrade a 1.8t to a 2.0T. Other loader? Charging air cooler? ECU? What is the difference? The transmission also seems to be different, because Vmax varies between 210/225/235 km/h. Verbated is a 5-speed switch with 210 km/h. I still have a 6-speed gearbox switch from a YS3F 2.8 V6 MJ 2006 with Vmax 250km/h. Does that fit? Drive shafts are the same (different from the YS3D gearbox comparison 2.0i and 2.0T).

Hello together, someone above combination has and could send me pictures. I really like these seats very much, but yesterday’s two dealers didn’t have a single car with these seats. Also the combination exterior color black with the beige sports pads I find very appealing. Thank you, Tobias

Hello, have just seen on the homepage of Motorvision that comes this evening at 8:15 pm on DSF Motorvision episode 123 and as the main topic is the comparison of the Saab 9-3 SportCombi against the Fiat Croma. (Comical comparison, but at least you can see the 9-3 Combi times on TV) More info here Repetitions Sat 01.10.05 18:00 h Sat 22.10.05 18:00 h Thu 10.11.05 14:00 h Sun 13.11.05 18:30 h Greetings, bcn31

Hi, I’m new here in the Saab forum and I’m interested in a SAAB 93 1.8 without a turbo. How are your experiences with the vehicle?? Is the engine, the gearbox and the chassis identical to the current Opel Vectra. You often read this the manual gearbox, scratching in cold condition. That wouldn’t be so nice. And could you also keep the Saab waiting in an Opel contract workshop?? (There is no SAAB dealer around 100KM here) Thank you for your answers Greeting

Hello, because of a special circumstance (see 9-5 forum) I drive a temporary 9-3 SC 1.9 TID. Now I had the opportunity to make a direct comparison with the A4 TDI. A4 + quiet engine with very luxuriant pull capacity + successful interior design with beautiful materials + sufficient space conditions in front, rear and in the KRaum + smooth circuit + appealing exterior design + good operating comfort with some exceptions + solid feel (door flap) + good Seat comfort (S – Line) – hard chassis (S-Line) – heavy-duty power steering – no EFH rear 9-3 SC + even quieter engine with even more luxuriant driving performance + chic interior design + more spacious front, rear and KRaum + nice detail solutions such as rear cover etc. + rich but not too hard chassis + very good operating comfort with additional sereinstandard extras + very nice exterior design + price advantage of about 1500 € with better standard equipment – material from choice not as successful as in the Audi – heavy circuit – gear tuning not optimal – did not look quite as solid in the door area as the Audi Bottom line, the SAAB is not quite as perfect as the Audi, but appeals to me more because of the design. Besides the SAAB, the Audi looks like a design that is no longer up-to-date. And, the differences in the technical area are marginal in my eyes. I could imagine the 9-3 well in my garage, but with car metik and perhaps as Aero :-))) Greetings AD900

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
