  • Question on the light

    Moin and a Happy New Year to all of you! My son has shown me a video with a Saab 9000 and the follow me home light, which concerns when closing up. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2JUB6sepIU&feature=related) Is this really like this or was it made around there. At 9-5 you couldn’t do something like this, could you? Greeting saabfan94

  • Fiat Motor ???

    Hej, hej, I’m new here as a member, but before I bought my really nice and especially comfortable 9 5 from 10/ 2006 with 1,9 TiD 150 hp, green badge and 100000 km 6 months ago all the relevant information for me could pull out of here. Thanks for that first. So it was important for me to buy among other things that the typical weak point of this engine (droll valve ) was changed in August 09 still on guarantee. So far, so good. Until then I thought that I by the way, I could live very well with an Opel engine – but when I had to replace an injection nozzle last week, it was rather unpleasant for me to know that certain sealing rings did not have to be ordered from Opel, but from FIAT (! ). How for heaven’s sake it came to this symbiosis. Because who reads car newspapers fairly regularly, knows that Fiat invented the common rail technology, but otherwise with no brand (Fiat, A) lfa Romeo, Lancia ) is not characterized by special quality, nor by longevity. My 9 5 now has 116000 km down and I had eig. before to drive and maintain it eternally (possibly even to install a heater, etc. …). My motivation to “marry” this (geile :/ ) car has fallen quite considerably with a Fiat engine. If I pay Saab, I at least want Opel, but in no case Fiat. Does anyone know which important assemblies still of a cooperation spa My desire for such surprises has been extremely manageable since this weekend. Thank you and all a beautiful pre-Christmas time Mathias

  • Finally a Saab! 9-5 Aero MY2004 – And already something broken?

    Good evening forum! Would like to thank me for the great tips and experiences that this forum has given me in recent weeks and have now finally led to my purchase today: Saab 9-5 Turbo Aero 2.3 sports combi MY2004 ( the link won’t go long anymore: http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=l3hzjl1ychaj ) KM 122,000 km First registration:11/2003 Power: 184 kW (250 hp) HU test: 08/2012 Outer colour: Silver Metallic 8 times matured on aluminium Has me gl I was not really convinced on the way back in today’s weather conditions and I was brought home safely – bombastic road position – giving gas was of course not really inside. First drop of wormwood: Unfortunately earlier the “engine” lamp started to light up, I am pretty sure that this was not the case with the test drive yet – engine runs however quite normal, hope not anything bad. Will the seller anyway step on the fingers, because the cruiser praised in the advertisement at all not at all available! I didn’t notice in my happiness when driving However, the joy over the car prevails – everything is top, super cared for etc. Thanks again! And maybe someone can take the fear of the engine damage away from me immediately?

  • Daylight halogens?

    Moin, I was recently told that the 9-5 day-dimmed light has front. I can’t really imagine it, but would be great. Has anyone else heard about it? At the moment I don’t see any difference, but would be a great facility. Greeting saabfan94

  • Small tip: Xenon light range regulation

    Hello, dear forum, would like to share my findings with you So, after I had the car back from customer service last week, a mistake was quickly made on Saturday: automatic light range control defective. (It’s worth noting that the Xenon headlights themselves have kept their level and not lowered…) After various researches in swed.- and English-speaking forums, I came up with the following tip: Apparently it’s almost always the front sensor, the mucken (Sits at the front right of the auxiliary frame, good to see when you swing the wheel to the right.) Something grease the turning points and maintain the plug with WD40. Done. (New price otherwise probably around 80 Euro) Works again 1a. I suspect that lifting on the lifting platform was causal. Greeting, Jan900

  • Gear conversion Troll E

    Hello together, I have a question where maybe someone can help me further: I’m about to buy a Saab 9-5 2.3 Troll E (year 2000, 110’000km, 250 hp). Unfortunately, the vehicle has an automatic transmission… Finding a hand-operated model seems almost impossible, so I wanted to ask if anyone has experience in converting vending machines into hand-operated vehicles, if this is recommended at all and maybe also how high the Kos Do you have a Troll E with the 4-stage automatic? If so, how does it go about sport and agility and so on? Thank you for your help Greetings to Emperor Lu

  • bad cold start

    With my Saab 9-5 2.0t Prins LPG, the cold start has been a bit difficult for some time now. It’s supposed to be 6-7 times until it starts. So far, I assumed that after a Prins SW update it would inject a little bit more gas after it was parked and issued. This gas leads to it being too fat and turning longer when it starts cold. Now it’s the case that I changed the battery two weeks ago – this lasted about two weeks. After that 600 KM of motorway and highway drove and once again about 50 KM through the city. I noticed since change that he occasionally takes a bit of bad gas after starting. If he switched to LPG it was no problem any more. Yesterday he just went out shortly after switching off at the traffic lights. I set the gas system a quarter of a year ago by a real professional. .. so I don’t know any more. At that time the car pulled false air and went out constantly .. in the error memory was nothing. My question now, can still have to do with the learning phase of the ECU – or is that after 650 KM already sufficiently set. And what are the reasons that the car simply runs out.

  • Time to say Goodbye…

    Time to say Goodbye in the 900/9-3 forum! From now on I also belong here, in the 9-5 forum! After 2 1/2 (problemless!) 900 years my wife and I decided to enlarge ourselves by car! My wife first wanted to buy a Volvo (which I was not necessarily averse to at first). We did a test drive with a V50 and were quite disappointed, the Volvo fans like to forgive me! The dashboard is a single large plastic landscape u I found the engine (2.4 ltr., 140 hp, automatic) subjectively rather weak. At first the Volvo man did not want to pay my 900, and then at an absolutely ridiculous price. So I persuaded my wife to stop by the Saab dealer again… And there he was: 9-5 Kombi 2.0t Linear silbermet, EZ 2004, Xenon, PDC, seat heating, only 60tkm run with beautiful 17 inch Saab-Alus. Once put in and immediately felt comfortable! The typical Saab feeling eb After a test drive we were both (!) totally enthusiastic. The price also voted (both for the new one and for the payment), so we hit. Since yesterday evening the good piece is in the underground garage! Just rides great, I find the chassis much more harmonious as in the 900s, everything goes so wonderful “soft”, only the new dimensions you have to get used to. So I will bomb you here from now on with any questions… Many greetings, Jan

  • Strange clacking noise

    When driving my 9-5 Aero (e.g. when parking from a parking space when driving heavily) I noticed a strange metalic crack sound. During the ride there is nothing to hear about it, but from the stand it is noticeable. Otherwise I do not notice any abnormalities when driving/driving, it is now naturally noticeable when driving with an open window…. Do you have this with your 9-5 too or my black devil has a problem( little)…because otherwise everything is dazzling…?
