  • Soldering in Online auction

    Servus, who just discovered that someone is auctioning his bran over an online auction, let’s be surprised where the barometer stops http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?… The price sounds very promising “This car speaks for itself, who knows Saab what he is driving. That’s not just a station wagon he has something of a sports car, with his 177hp he makes quite steam and consumes only 7.6L all around a super car and well pf I’m looking forward to the idea I haven’t come to get rid of my bran. Greetings to the community

  • It’s gonna be a 9-5.

    Hello, since I can’t get into the Saab forum for unclear reasons, I’ll try it here. I’d like to buy a 9-5 combination from EZ 03 to approx. 80 Tkm soon. Motorization 2.2 TID, 2.0t or 2.3t 185 hp each hand switch (the large diesel is eliminated from the known cause). Now to my questions: 1. Do the above engines have control chain or ZR? When ZR, when must be changed? 2. The diesel should be quite unproblematic, what awaits me with the two turbo ottos? Special Mack 3,0 TD? 3. What about your experience with the above-mentioned petrol engines with the consumption (please don’t use BC!) 4. I read that some gasoline engines tend to form black sludge with the result of accumulated engine damage and Saab should therefore allegedly grant 8 years warranty on the engines? What about it? 5. Am also interested in tips on these types! Thank you for your advice!

  • Where’s the most money for the car?

    Hello, I have to sell my beloved Aero Kombi MY02 because we get a business car. So far, so good. Of course, I want to get the best possible value, preferably also to someone who appreciates the car. Where would you offer the car? Here in the forum (I did), at mobile, autoscout, Saabzentrum, or where else? Greeting and thank you

  • New, used 9-5 Kombi 2.0t ARC, year 2002

    So, my first 3500km went and so far there were no problems. I have to say, only after my Spontankauf (I was on my way to buy a Christmas tree and came home with a Saab) I was totally ignorant about the Saab, on the search for information about this car and then to fall out of all the clouds. What the fuck did you get for a cucumber!? My Golf III did not see any workshop in 10 years’ time. And now? I I am then directly back to the dealer who then calmed me down again. All inspection intervals were carried out in his Saab workshop with Mobil 0w40, oil pan was down for inspection at the last inspection at 124500. Everything OK. I shouldn’t worry about it he wouldn’t have to “burn” in front of his customers. Anyway, – I wouldn’t have bought this car if I hadn’t been enthusiastic about it right away. I hope my satisfaction has survived. from 9-5 is a great car. Sincerely RK

  • Saab = Opel…

    wg. asked me about a sports-scarf at the dealer (wg. advised me not the turbo – does not sound reasonable) and then I was told immediately that I can actually forget saab, because there is only opel in it, and that is much cheaper with the same performance. now I am a bit disappointed and looking for your opinion. is there really EVERYTHING of opel in it??? that the saab have taken over (gerneral motors) is clear to me, however, thought, they only build the motors for the diesel ….??? what do you think about the statement? saab 9-5 aero mod. 2001 limousine

  • saab in the place of action

    saab 95 in the scene (runs just) closes the 9-5 by itself if you leave the key in it? the commissioner just had to hit the disk to come back into his 9-5. by the way: my girlfriend I already trained super: she bitches place, calls me: “Come here, you have to peek! I think there’s a saab on TV!” nuff said…

  • Switch H7 to the right?

    @All or our graduate master screwdriver Chris I changed the halogen bulb today at my 9-5er left, because defective. After I realized that my fingers without battery expansion did not get out the bulb, stop battery changed and changed. (BI-Xenon plus driving beam H7. Of course from Xenon the fingers were omitted, was also not defective.) Since light bulbs remind of old couples, where the partner follows the other to death, let’s look how it looks to the right ht. And there is a thick hose, probably leading to the loader or so, wonderful in the way. MUST the thing really be unscrewed or have fit screwdrivers special children’s hands or any tricks in stock to change the halogen? Best on the occasion still remove the right fender etc. motor … .

  • Window lifter on the left suddenly doesn’t go anymore

    hello forum have already read several threats with this content (some windows do not go anymore), but in none of those I now about the search or find is described the solution … :-((( my location: yesterday after a short car ride (80km) to a parking lot, since all windows went still, that I know because I had to solve the parking ticket. then I stood about 5 hours there and when driving away suddenly the windows livo, lihi and rehi went no more, neither over the mi ttelkonole front, still over the single actuation keys in the rear doors after approx. 500m drive (have constantly tried to operate the windows) went suddenly also rehi, but only over the central console, NOT with the switch installed in the door (no, no child lock active..) nothing has changed about it … ask: go the FH over the BUS or are the “conventional” wired? will probably have to unscrew the middle console, there is something to consider – where do I start? WHEN WON’T YOU GET WHY? WHAT WAS DAMALS THE FILLER? I don’t think it’s safe to thank you for your infos lg g

  • Greater purchasing advice

    Hello all!! I intend to buy a used Saab 9-5 3.0TiD Arc (2002), which is located around the corner at a Volvo dealer. The car ran 106,000km and got a new engine from Saab at 55,000km (2004, reasonable cost: 20,000€). After I got informed about the Saab and its engine, of course, the problems (bookcases!!) scared me off. But since a completely new one was installed in 2004, I wonder if this one is a modernization or problem deal. my question with Saab Germany remained unsuccessful (…Saab always tries to maintain a high quality standard…). Therefore I turn here to experienced Saab drivers and ask for clarification. Furthermore, no one can tell me exactly which alternating intervals exist for the timing belt (according to Saab Germany all 80,000km, according to Saab dealers all 150,000, according to ATU all 90,000km). Also here I urgently ask for an answer.

  • Engines from MJ 2006

    Hello guys, I’m new here and for 2 months proud owner of a Saab 9-5 2.3 Turbo Aero. Now I’ve already read about defects of this engine, but not from Mj 2006, someone already has experience with oil sludge, turbo or similar. I have made an extra oil change at 5tkm. Also it should become more beautiful (so even more beautiful, if you know what I mean), I would like to widen the track, it should also be 18″ or 19″ rims, as well as a motor tuning. n experience with this MJ. What does AERO mean, there are so many names at SAAB (Viggen,ARC,Troll). I would be happy if you could help me. Thank you Mike
