Hello. Have the prices been reduced to Saab 9-5 also in Germany? The reason is that here i Denmark, the prices have been reduced to Saab 9-5 up to 23%! The 9-5 Aero has been reduced from €92.000, – up to €70.000,-. And you get now auto-connection on top of it, without extra costs. From this price reduction, I concluded that the replacer of 9-5, but this year still comes on the market. So, are there also presise reductions in Germany? Or maybe in the neighboring country ern – does anyone know? MFG

Hello Turbofriends as written here I delivered my 9-5 Aero after 3 years. It was a reliable companion! And now a successor is sought. After “snowing” in the district (Renault, BMW, Toyota, Audi) it is to become a 9-5er combo again.The debate is the following 2 carts: 9-5 BioPower 2.0t Automatic 9-5 BioPower 2.3t Automatic Tendency goes to 2.0t + Hirsch (210/220 hp , 320/340NM (Super/E85)).Do any of you know why “man” is not the 2.0t, but the 2.3t Bio power should take? Brainwashed are both quite close together in performance. Thanks for your opinions + nice time still, organic – club

Hello Saab friends, I have a 9-5er with the Navi system with tochscreen which comes from Kenwood. Who can help me with the question which Navi DVD works. From Saab is directly no reasonable information to get. And from Kenwood and TeleAtlas is only offered as of 2002. I am grateful for every information. After a contact where to get a TMC module I dare not ask at all or someone knows something about it ? Thank you in advance from Hannover

Hello together, I wish everyone a happy new year together and hope that the first days can be tackled slowly again. My question to everyone together: Since I don’t own my own car at the moment, but “we” are three in three months and need a station wagon, I came to the taste of a Saab 9-5 year 2003. Both of us have finished our studies relatively fresh and now the question arises to me… “how recommendable is a Saab” or what should one a Since I have read your contributions of engine damage and defective valves, I would like to know what it really is about the Saab 9-5?! Would I look forward to your replies and thank you now, as well as wish you a good and safe ride.

Hello everybody, I wanted my Saab to be converted to autogas. The workshop (Saab and conversion operation) does not say that, because of direct injections. But I saw several converted ones at autoscout24 and mobile.de. Who knows each other? Who knows Saab conversion in the greater area Augsburg, Würzburg or Düsseldorf? MfG

Hello dear Saab friends. Our 9000 CSE has given up its mind at 320,000 km and is away from the road with an engine damage for the first time. My father needs something new now and for him as well as for the rest of the family only Saab is in question. We have 3 first in mind those who will be tested next week. I wanted to inform myself about consumption and reliability of the engines as well as of the vehicle in general. Do the Aero engines continue to have the problem with oil sludge or is it from Is the 2.3 engine from the 9000 the same engine as the 9-5? Or is it a completely different one? Can you change the Aero to car gas or rather get rid of it? here the 3: Saab 9-5 2.3t Vector BioPower Limousine BJ:2008 75.000km 14.999€http://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?… Saab 9-5 2.3T Aero Combi BJ:2006 82,000km 14.90€http://suche.mobile.d e/…/details.html?… Saab 9-5 2.3T Aero Kombi BJ:2004 100.000km 10.999€http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… to what would you advise? Is the consumption high at the Aero? Thanks already

Hello! Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Wanted to get a few little things for my dear Christmas Eve. Had driven me hard twice and could free me with spinning wheels in winter overdrive. Then on straight track at ca30km/H the automatics went off. Nothing went on anymore. On P he still locked but no matter which driving stage I chose was always idle. After 10 min everything waits ok. After 500 m again same problem. 15 min waiting and he drove again. This morning shopping came then. Automatic bangs the driving steps harder in. At the first meters she also did not want to turn up. Then she did it nevertheless what happened with a jerk. Then was again good. After about 50km mixed (city, highway, city) I cruiste with 50 where I noticed that the car did not pull so much. Schwups CHECK GEARBOX on. Automatic remained in the 4th gear also at the start. After 10 min. turn off still the leech burned. But he switches all gears but rougher. After 5min drive again only 4th gear. At home arrived gear oil rod sniffed. Bah disgusting smelled that. So burned. Dark brown to almost black. You are now the engine top and then something like that. As you know the engine had a big rep. and I just changed the turbo a few days ago. Now he is no longer a fog engine and oil consumption is also no longer. And now the gear is still IRRE Is there anything else to save?? oil changes e.g. ??

Hello, in autumn 2008 I brought my 9-5 Aero for inspection to a Berlin Saab workshop – there despite my note no wear of the control chain was detected. But now due to appropriate demand nevertheless, also misignition of the ignition cassette, defective hose crankcase ventilation. For control chains the gentlemen want 2500Euro, for the hose 80Euro and the ignition cassette 400Euro repair costs. – I read quite extensively here – but Are the prices (especially for the control chains) normal or completely turned off? Have read here for the control chain prices of 300Euro – but perhaps a little more exchange. And how can one establish a worn-out control chain regularly – by hearsay or is there a prescribed measurement procedure? Today the workshop owner personally informed me that there is no such prescribed measurement method^^. Thanks for your efforts and hints already now! Stefan

So now I have to burden the community with something very crazy, goes around my 9-5. For a few days it is clear that I will be working exclusively in my home country (Norway) from autumn onwards and leave the beautiful Germany until further notice. Means that I have to introduce my 9-5 2.3 SC (MY 2007, 65,000km on the clock) with deer to Norway. Introducing a car to Norway is not a good topic. To get to the point: the import costs me 32,500 euros. with a current vehicle value of 15-16,000 euros. No joke. The amount of the import duty depends on: power, cylinder capacity, weight and – for the smallest part – on the current vehicle value. At the displacement and weight I can probably do little. But probably on the performance: The deletion of the Hirsch software with then commercial 185 hp would reduce the import tax by at least 6000 euros. To continue the considerations: Does this do anything if I had the deer deleted? The car has had the deer for about 20,000 km, i.e. for 45,000 km. In Norway I’m jumping at top speed 80 km/h – on the better sections of the road network. Otherwise slower. So I don’t really need 230 hp. So – delete?
