Hello municipality, on my Sweden the following problem has occurred for the second time. The right headlight (Xenon) no longer adjusts, lights estimated 10 meters in front of the car (in the dark really corrosive). The height adjustment on the left works quite normal. The whole thing was already present, then after 2 weeks “repaired” itself, funzte arber just only 2 weeks normal. Do you know advice or have similar experiences?

.:Shortly advance: If the topic is wrong here, since this area is called “Saab 9-3 Sport-Limousine”, please postpone:. Hi My parents intend to buy a combo, whether it will become a Saab 9-3-SportCombi, is not yet certain, but it looks quite like it. There are some questions about this model, although there is the possibility to read test reports, but the experiences with this model in everyday use are very different. Well, on the questions: There are three M odelle, namely the linear, vector and aero. The aero falls away already, due to the too high performance, so I see the vector as a good average. Which motorization should be chosen the 120hp or 150hp, in terms of consumption is the question of how much the car swallows in everyday use and whether the consumption inevitably depends on the PS number? What is the quality of the car, interior etc.? In a test I read that the instruments in the interior are not “good” v Do the car or Saab (none yet) have any quirks? What about the space on the rear seats? … etc. Actually, I could continue the list now, but first of all I would like to hear your personal opinions about this model or Saab, services etc. Short and short… post your pros and cons of this model and would you advise to buy or to another model?

Hello municipality! Just yesterday on a private channel not mentioned here an informative test was performed. Interesting above all the combination Opel Vectra against Saab 9-3. So that the discussion does not end whether and how the two are now really equal. http://abenteuer-auto.de/auto/tests/artikel/04/166/index.php To anticipate the result: “The Saab 9-3 V6 can’t keep up with the bottom line. The Opel Vectra OPC ranks second. For the test victory it is in its output. The result is hard, but that’s why Saab is having a hard time. And design and nimbus don’t care about most buyers. I don’t want to comment on this anymore, but it’s annoying every now and then, when it’s always talked about the apparent advantages and other brands are simply ignored. Despite all this, this is just a car and who’s about its lifestyle and image d It’s certain that the very boring Japanese can now build cars that can be really fun and still stand quite well in the breakdown statistics. I think the case has been done for me after the demise of my 9000ers…

Hello together I currently own an elk from the other family (Volvo V40 T4). Somehow I’m tempted to have something new in the garage. Since I liked the 93SS already at the market launch, I think that would be an interesting alternative. That’s why I’ve been rummaging a bit and have a few questions: 1. Is the Sentronic to be recommended and from when was the version 2? Is the version 2 just a software update or is there more behind it? 2. When is the m 6-speed transmission recommended? 3. Was there weak points in the first year that are fixed with the newer ones? Thanks already for the help Gruss Patrik

Hello, I would like to share my suffering with you… Last week I had an appointment because of the convertible service action. Thursday early in the morning the car was taken away again in the evening. And look, it says in the display “theft protection defective, contact workshop”. I am already in the workshop, but the mechanics are clearly not there at 8 pm. Well, then my convertible remains a nice, sunny day in the workshop The next day I was informed that kei n Saab mechanic is there… When I asked if I would leave the car standing for the weekend I almost freaked out… Of course I picked up the car… On Monday I was then called by the mechanic, he wanted to make an appointment for someone from Saab Austria to look at my cover. Interestingly, he was not notified of my problem… On Thursday it was time to visit the cover, the cable of the rear window heating was replaced (the roof mechanics The problem with theft protection was not solved. A new call, the request that I leave the car still another day. Well, I got a replacement car, it hurts to drive a Meriva at sunny 28 degrees, but OK… Friday afternoon, the master calls again. Error code says, no connection to the siren. The lines were checked, the control unit got 2 different software versions, the problem is t still there. The click of the front axle was not fixed either, wrong parts were delivered. So I will have to drive again to the workshop anyway, then they will continue to look for what is going on with the anti-theft protection. Well, what can you do. I picked up the car, immediately in the underground garage opened the cover and drove home. Car parked, roof closed, but a loud bang didn’t allow anything good to guess… The locking hacks sit a couple of centimeters too far after on the right, the left hacking meets exactly the anchoring instead of 3-4 cm left of it. When the car is locked, you can also see how the roof is pressed to the left. Now I have to call the workshop again I am a quite tolerant and quiet person, as long as the car is driving I am satisfied. But slowly but surely my patience is also over… Disappointed greetings, Toni

Hello together, I had the pleasure today to drive the brainwashed 1.8t. Nigelnagelnew and therefore carefully I drove the car (max. 4000 tours). What shocked me was the average consumption of 12.5 liters (I drove 50 % city, 25 % highway and 25% highway and that is gentle and careful). Is there already experience values here from you ??? Is the consumption normal ? My dealer promised me high and holy that he would be driven around the 10 liters. Well, in itself I believe Him, but the beziner is standing on the farm and I could have that on Friday, the diesel (as an alternative in consideration) should be ordered. With 10 liters I can live, with 12.5 definitively not. I am grateful for fast information serh, since tomorrow a decision should be made. Bye Newbie

hello, carry me with the thought to increase my v6 turbo to 275 ps. who of you already owns such a deer. who has driven that already. is the hish better from the sound than the normal v6 if you make the step 1 or I need a exhaust system to do so. how is the v6 increased to the deer? does this only run via a software update? so without hardware changes like bigger coolers and so. can my local saab dealer or must the vehicle after st. galle n? do you have to report the increase in the performance of the insurance? hope you have some good infos. thank you

Hello, after the question about the Aero front spoiler still a few questions that interest me in general: 1. Hirsch-Aluleiste: We like the Hirsch passenger bar in Aluoptik (MY before 07) but not so the rest of the package means leather fittings and pedals (there will probably be 99% different opinion). According to our Saab dealer (yes exactly the one a few weeks before) there is not the bar individually, but one can expand the original black bar and let it paint silver. A At that time I found a Saab part number for the bar alone and at Elkparts there was this bar for approx. 130 euros. But now no longer available at Elkparts. Does someone have detailed information here. Is the information from the dealer? How can I get the bar cheaply silver? 2. Exhaust Vorab: Please don’t hit! Without wanting to name names there is someone in my tighter two-member family who likes the Aero exhaust of the 2.8T (double tube left and right). To upgrade to the “old” Aero to the exhaust system of the new one? Costs incl. installation? 3. New steering wheel Also this family member Can you retrofit the new Aero steering wheel (in “aircraft optics”? Costs incl. installation?

servus together, do you have tips, which winter tires are especially recommended on the 93er sc aero. in the certificate are 215er registered – can you also drive 195? is this allowed? many thanks claus
