Category: Saab 9-5 Forum

One reads here only problems problems problems about Saab. But that it can not give an objective impression, is clear to me, because there will be more of one in the forum who has a problem, than one who is completely satisfied. But in order to improve the mood of some people, I would suggest that one be posted here, who drives a Saab with first engine, turbo etc. and is completely happy…

Hello, my wife found out this evening after three short distances that the Check Engine lamp no longer runs out after starting. Besides, what is even worse, the car doesn’t work properly. When I start the engine, it immediately goes down again at the speed and dies off. Even if I give off soft gas. I noticed that the engine is quite hot (after about 3 kilometers all day), you can’t put your hand on it. But the temperature indicator is The thing makes me a little nervous, because I had a motor damage to this car before, but then during the ride, a short crack and that was it. This time the car starts for a short time. It is a 9-5er Bj99 with 2,0l 150Ps. I would be very happy about relevant answers and hope that it is nothing bad. mfG Jens

Hello, I have a small, but slowly extremely annoying problem. The engine jumps heavily in warm condition. This means that it turns – starts – then the idle speed drops and it goes out. By giving fast gas, you can prevent this, however, by now must give much more aggressive gas, than some time ago. So the damage gets worse, at first there were only slight idle fluctuations at warm start. If the engine runs, there are no problems – also no emptyness There are absolutely no problems with the cold start either. I can rule out that it is due to my gas system because it also happens in petrol operation. Furthermore, DI Box and KW sensor have been changed. Spark plugs and air filters are also new and the vacuum hoses have only recently been tested. The fault memory was only read two weeks ago and was empty – MKL does not glow. What remains now – does anyone have ideas?

wrote on 06.10.2009 10:02 Motortalk Moin together, I admit, this topic is not really new for the most, but for me it is unfortunately! After studying the various articles and opinions on this engine I belong without question to the category Supertrottel, but I just didn’t know it better and also did not inform me sufficiently in advance. I had a Saab 9.5 2.2 TiD and was well satisfied until someone got in the back and the car scrapped From the insurance there was money and thus I fell to the Saab dealer and there finally simply. I admit: I have no idea of cars and engines, I just sit in and drive off, go 1 time a year for inspection, care the cart neatly etc. . I bekám from the dealer offered a Saab9.5 3.0 TiD, the price was good – I paid for a 4.5 year old car with 50,000 km about 14000 € and then 2 years super satisfied with it. Great car, ru For 1 month now the car starts to bump and stumble, sometimes more times less. Was with it in the workshop, but there was just everything ok and you couldn’t find anything. Now it will be more and then I came across this forum in the motor talk on a solution search (unfortunately not 2 years ago …) If I understand this correctly is the engine “Dreck” like most write and so on. What I could not find out from the contributions so far: What do I do now with the car? On another site I read that Saab gave a warranty of 8 years for this engine, so that one gets a replacement engine if broken, is that true? Here in the forum I read something about a replacement campaign in 2008, but I have never been written by Saab this time and don’t know about it. Does that still work? I would be very grateful if someone could give me some good advice. Let me fix the car all the time (injection nozzles?..?), I see the car. to get rid of the cars (who buys a car like me?), or what are the possibilities? I wasn’t with the dealer yet, after the incident with the sale of this car I may not be very skeptical. Thank you in advance, Dirk

Hi Saabgemeinde, after having slight problems with my xenon light from the 9-5 Aero, BJ 02/2005 (detailed report: http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…9-5-and-his-leiden-t2451932.html?…), they have now changed the cable part from the control unit to the burner and the burner itself at my instruction. I don’t know if the lightning is fixed during the ride (the control unit is still left as a possibility), but what I know is that the temperate old burner Osram Xenarc 66043, Klevin ? new burner PhilipsXenon standard 85410C1, Kelvin ? I don’t find anywhere how much Kelvin the new Philips has. I think about 3000. The old Osram I think has 4150 and was so far ok. The change of temperature over longer operating life should hardly be noticeable with the new burners. That is, I drive around with two different “colors” and that’s annoying. I have a lot of fun. e hears that the replacement burners are generally yellower in contrast to the first ones due to legal changes, but there should also be burners with 5000 – 6000, which are approved. Do you know good D1S burners in the blue – white area for favorable prices from reliable sources ??? Thank you for your tips ! Greetings Heiko

Hej very honoured ladies and sires with deep grief and regret I share here and today with the fact that the automobile manufacturer Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget is closed by the mother company GM in detroit. ultimately every lover and sympartisant of the brand hoped for a good end, this unfortunately without success! now saab was a quite small automobile manufacturer with its own design, epochial ideas and security-relevant achievements that made the automobile worldwide safer. m house saab came security-relevant things that everyone finds today in every x-libigen car. to name a few: the force absorbing shock rod; the durable and standard turbo in the kfz; the rear mirror with angle glass; asbest free brake linings; seating zone; seating compartment; the interior air filter for the air conditioning system; the side impact protection; headlight cleaning; personally saab was always more than just a moving object it was and remains a passion. with us up here a little more about our automobile builder in the media have been reported, but I hope that also in Germany saab has brought a bit more individualitat in the street everyday life. with deep regret my thoughts are also with those who have a declaration under the Christmas tree. these are as often the most regretful. I would be happy if one or the other gets the pleasure to express itself to the topic or a few lines of schr until then a happy Christmas and a good new year. many love greetings from the dark north

Hello, the Saab 9-5 (Bauj. 2007) of a friend locks the central lock automatically after starting the engine or after driving off. Is the function programmable ? If yes – it has to be done with the programming device ? With our Opel Vectra C this function could be activated with the key and the pressing of the locking button – is it exactly so with the 9-5 ? Thank you ! Marco

Hello, normally I’m just a hard-working reader here in the forum, but today I also have a problem. I am enthusiastic owner of a 9-5 SC Automatic Hirsch Performance (EZ 10/2007, 48000 km). Had the opportunity yesterday again and wanted to give the deer the spores…… Unfortunately the deer didn’t want to do so. So far I was used to the fact that the vehicle turns into the 5th gear at full acceleration at 225 km/h, continues full to 240 km/h and then slightly slower Turbo indicator was until then always in the middle in the red area. Yesterday from 200km/h only little of it could be felt, from 220km/h there was practically no acceleration. Turbo indicator up to 200km/h middle red area, after that only to the red area. In normal operation I have so far not been able to detect any change to the vehicle, the vehicle is driven mainly in urban traffic, daily way to the job 13km, little stop and go. Sleep the horse n over time if they are not constantly demanded? Does anyone have any idea where the problem might lie? Thanks for your answers. kles

Hej, there I had written the other day, which on my 3.0 was an oil pipe leaking to the turbo. Off to Saab and asked what that could cost. One wanted to write a “cost-paying” order directly to the control, then I distanced myself from it all. In the parking lot of the AH I nevertheless got into the conversation with the master who then looked “for free” and confirmed my suspicion. Sealing set complete approx. 50.- € plus LABOUR ~ 400.- € ! = ~ 450.- € I have this work now i In a small free workshop (Bosch). Defective O-ring of the oil pressure line 3.-€ (in the engine repairer next door brought), wages 135.-€ = 138.-€ total!!!!! Long live the fine difference. I like Saab, it is also a pity that some dealers of the brand are insolvent or still become, but at 312.-€ price difference I am closest to myself. LG Rodatina car runs, everything is tight and my world is OK.

Hello to Alle, I’m new here and recently proud owner of a Saab 9-5 2.3 Turbo from 98. Recently some minor problems have accumulated which I would like to solve with your help! – Heating Driver side: Does not work; It only comes cold air. Passenger side gets really warm. What can this be? – License plate lighting: These already did not work when buying the vehicle. Birnchen changed, unfortunately the license plate remains unlit. ngplan für Sicherungen? – Tacholeuchtung: Up to 140 the tacho shines wonderfully, the pear under it is unfortunately dead. How best to get to the pear? How is the amarture board removed without damaging the hozbarten? – Seat heating driver side. Does not work either. Replace seat cushions or rather check tension? If these defects are fixed I am really happy with my Saab. Hopefully not by thousands of Euros poorer…. The Dutchman who lives in Germany and drives a Swedish car… 🙂
