Hello Saab municipality, since I am quite new in the sector Saab I urgently need advice! I have been driving a Saab 9000 Aero Bj.96 261000km with Nordic kit should have about 275Ps?! (hears good!) but now comes my problem, I have changed almost everything(damper/springs/brakes/covers/customer service was made/new APC valve/ etc.)though it would make sense?!)) but somehow he doesn’t want to!? he stutters from about 1500U/min. at full acceleration(if he is warm) he stutters even more, and absolutely does not get into the gears! again and again performance suspender. what could that be? my nearest Saab dealer is 1h away and he could only tell me by phone,possibly Zünkassette?! Ask for your help does not want to buy and exchange unnecessary parts! P.S. lives room Esslingen near Stuttgart

servus, maybe a Saabprofi here has an idea what my 9000t 2.0 CSE 92 has. I have already tried a lot, but until now unsuccessful. TCS lamp burns, throttle valve does not work, of course, that alone would be still ok, but I still have a small side effect, that the engine can be turned up until 2000 but then suspends, to start again at 1600, so he saws there at the stand. The effect can be brought away either with a cold temperature feeling he, who is simply floating in place (he warms up with a hair dryer he starts again) or you put out the throttle valve relay (via glove compartment) or you put off the traction control rose valve computer. Of course, he has less power then, but you can at least drive. I have already changed: the computer, the throttle valve, the valve on the injection wall, the teperature sensor of course also, there are blue and black, all hoses ect. now I am a bit helpless. D he engine was replaced (not by me) I bought the car with this mistake (and others). It’s not my only Saab either, but he’s already very persistent. Greeting Bernd

Hello reader, advocate, nice people and creditors! Now I have brought my CSE from the workshop with just under 190TKM, with a newly filled KLima plant. Very nice. But from the principle all the plants should be the same, because physics can not outsmart any manufacturer essentially. At another point I already wrote that we still have a CLK. There are ellenlange explanations for the meaningful use of the climate,especially in relation to the case that one enters into the heated car. My thought, which I want to get rid of here: I always ask myself what the ECON button does! Now I hope not to be mocked, but there is no more operating instructions. ….and please… OFF and ON I understand. But the people of Saab certainly also have Abitur, which is why ECON must mean something. Greetings from Berlin. Andreas

Hello, my on-board electronics have been spinning for a few days. When I turn on the ignition, the ignition is constantly on and off. During the 2nd attempt, it works normally. Besides, most of it doesn’t work properly, i.e. when I turn on the main light, flasher, window etc., the speedometer goes short to zero and radio goes off and then on again. Sometimes even the engine goes off as soon as I turn on an electric consumer. Since then, the on-board computer also flickers. Ask for any help. I’m done with the nerves. MfG

Hello, dear ones from the 9000 forum! 9000 CSE 2,3 Turbo MY 01/1998, 165 kW, approx. 209000 Km It caught me again: When giving gas in an AB driveway (do not believe that this can be the cause), suddenly the speed indicator fell abruptly to zero and no more general and daily kilometers were counted. The clock in the middle of the combi unit is dead. So I drove the other after speed or also ahead. In the first stop I then called i n the SAAB workshop (it was around 2 p.m. on Friday) and it was said that there could be primarily four causes, namely a worn pinion to the speed sensor or a bursted plastic ring that drives this pinion or cable break from the encoder to the combination device or marten bite. Now I worked my way through from the top to the gearbox on Whit Monday (screw off the heater, battery holder off) and found only TWO wires from the transmission. Type of encoder, which has an elastic cap in it, (looks like a Lambda probe, but is what is mechanical what is moving). When pressing in, there is contact, when releasing, it opens again. Is it a mechanical contact encoder that is driven over a cam and then integrated in the combi device? Or is it something else and the speed comes from somewhere else? The two wires that go “in” from there, I rang through and a resistance of about 78 ohms can be measured, “feeling” as if there was an electronics behind it. Would be very grateful for any hint that avoids a gearbox opening. Greetings from Nürnberg Waldemar

I want to fill my manual transmission with new oil soon. Vehicle is a 9000 CSE year 94, engine is B234E. I have already found out that according to DIY Manual, I should fill in mineral engine oil 10W-30 or 10W-40. Most engine oils of this viscosity class, which I found are partly synthetic. Can I also use a partly synthetic oil, or is it absolutely necessary to use a mineral oil?

Hi municipality! As you have noticed vll last year I had considerable difficulties with the gearbox, or the reverse gear! I got then from Luca one with flapping 150tkm. Unfortunately this now apparently also gave up the mind, because since Wednesday morning the rear side does not go in either. I have seen with our verwerter a 9000 Zwoliter suction with corresponding gear, for 150 thaler! Km performance I have not looked yet! Is there for my 95er 2.0L PT a suitable transmission without these stupid synchronous rings? Is it slowly tired of changing the switch box every 25tkm – understandable or? In this sense still a nice Sunday! Greeting Franz

Hello, are there any flaws with this engine ? The one I have in mind has run about 248tkm. Areas that require special attention during a visual inspection? Otherwise, what about the durability, if one starts from a delicate treatment. Seller speaks of about 0.5l oil consumption on 10000tkm. Merci

I bought a saab 9000 for the winter.very comfortable kfz with a lot of frills in it. it only accelerates very leisurely, stutters in the stationary gas and if you want to accelerate strongly, it swallows itself immediately and jerks the same. the visit to the boschdienst was also almost for nothing, since the 91er can not be read with regard to motor control. the exhaust probe put into the exhaust – it runs much too fat. that can have of course several causes.on the red box is the right kun fabriciso erupted and the spring in the plug is missing too. but this spark plug looks just like the 3 others.I wanted to buy only a new exhaust in the car and not invest according to the error rule. it is a 2.3 16V turbo.I need a constructive advice. thanks in advance

Hello Saab fans, have a Saab with the 120kw machine, it’s the turbo 16, with 2.0 liters the engine has been jerking since recently – the tachometer then moves when I uncouple between 0 and 2000 revolutions back and forth and if I give light gas, I can drive on, but the engine then also jerks off and on when it hangs on the gas. if the air knife was broken, I already had that, then he likes to take out gas and uncouple, e.g. at the traffic light, when driving had i ch then never problems. Maybe it could also be the ignition cartridge / spark plugs ? (it is the red DI box installed) Year of construction is July 1989, starting it does great – it also has very good compression and otherwise runs very well – I am grateful for every tip
