Hello together, how do you recognize a dying wheel bearing? My mobile kit (9-5, MJ 04) has been shining for some time with a kind of rolling noise, which “drumbles” unchanged even after changing to summer tyres. I even imagine that the left front wheel gets warmer than the right one … I only have about 30,000 km on the clock and hope to hear only the fleas cough again. Greetings, Sven.

Who knows how to proceed with the air filters according to service plan during the interim inspections (must). For my 3-litre diesel, the change of the engine air filter is planned every 60000km. But does not have to be at least checked and cleaned if necessary??

Hello! Have I asked myself the question in which way you can save the most Krafstoff on automatic vehicles. By slow acceleration to the desired speed or by speedy?Alternatively, there would be the mixture of little gas in the first driving stage and more gas afterwards. How are your experience? How do you drive more economical?

Hey guys, I have a question about retrofitting a soot particle filter into my Saab 9-5 2,2 tid sports combi: – Does this thing exist somewhere? – If so, where? – How much does the filter cost? So far your tips have been great! Maybe you can help me here again: Ciao

Good morning together, I just have to let go of my frustration here for a moment!!! The dealer who wanted to sell me a convertible offers me still full 12,000 € for my exactly three year old 3.0 Tid Vector sports combi! That’s in three years only funny 70!!!!! percent loss! At first I thought that he wants to take advantage of me, but unfortunately two other dealers have confirmed the price! I mean – HALLO? – which private man can then buy a Saab in the order of magnitude? Did I find my money ??? So, that had to be said ! Angry greetings Dietmar

Hello people, now that I have been happy and satisfied for three weeks driving my 2.0 se, bj 98, 85000 km, I already have a small problem. after the purchase I have filled in for 50 eu petrol, since then I have driven about 280 km city, admittedly only short distance of 15 minutes, the motor has not even gotten really warm up to then – but now I’m already riding on reserve!!! can a consumption of 18 liters at the motörle actually be normal? I drive fast, but I never drive over 3000, if it is not yet warm. what am I doing wrong? and what else: on the passenger seat there is a small deepening on the side where the sticker from the airbag sticks. at the driver’s seat is missing both stickers as well as depth. does that mean something? thank you and nice greetings, e.

Hello, I’m just complaining now… Who has come up with something like this annoying visual protection in the 9-5 station wagon? Somehow I have the impression that it is always in the way and is not at all clever to hide or store. In the operating instructions there is even a great tip: Hat rack / sight guard can also be stowed behind the front seats…yes, quite practical!! I have also seen clever solutions where a blind is used which can also be stowed under the luggage compartment floor. Well, is also not so important, but maybe others also have positive or negative opinions on the topic! Greetings, Yadda P.S. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work so well with the spelling, so please be patient!!!

Hello together, after countless visits of cars on the internet and live at many car dealers, my wife and I decided to buy a used Saab 9-5, because it simply suits us visually and also promises quite an exclusivity. Unfortunately, we haven’t found a suitable model yet, because always something else prevented the purchase, be it the wrong color, a wrong motorization or the equipment line. However, we are sure that we will over short or long find the right vehicle and will eventually also buy it. Long speech, short meaning: you have a new one in your Saab way! Many greetings Martin

Hello – the following problem with my 3.0 TiD: The whole thing showed up already last week – then thought that it was simply due to the low temperatures, because then the again regulated and the car ran perfectly. Car starts badly – only after several times “orgeln”, then he starts to jerk from the 2nd course and approx. speed 2,000 – 2,500, in the higher aisles as well – drives as if the car runs only on 3 pots – when gas is taken back, comes again a little S chub – can this be the injection pump? Thank you for your experience – so far (more than 130,000KM) I had zero problems and also have all the parts from first delivery(10/2001) in the car – if it should be the injection pump. what does this look like with a climactic control when complete service booklet is available?

Hello, just break my head in case of engine damage to a Saab 9-5. Looks like overheating by oil almonds. Does anyone have experience with the engine type? Saab is unfortunately not very helpful, and engine builders have too little experience with the type. Is a 2.3L 169KW year 2000. About helpful and constructive help I would be really grateful.
