A colleague of mine installed a stainless steel system at his Hondas S2000. He thinks the car is running better… anyway… think it makes sense to replace the original Saab 9-5 Aero exhaust with a stainless steel tube from Hirsch? The car runs with its 250hp very satisfied in the medium and higher speed range, however, could be a little more power there. Do you think such a system could do something? Can this be stated in PS? Thanks

Hello, I have a question with regard to the drive-in from given cause (new 3.0 TiD engine). The operating instructions make no difference between diesel and petrol, speaks of no more than 5000 rpm on the first 2000 km and no long full-gas runs up to 3000km. 5000 rpm, that is already beyond good and evil with the diesel anyway. Does this mean that I can drive the engine from the beginning “normal” (of course not kick, no full-gas runs etc), or do well dara n to turn it only up to 3000 or 4000 rpm?

Hello guys, can you see the problem of cylinder bushings from a built-up V6TiD motor with removed cylinder heads? If so, where should you look, and above all what? Thanks for the answers. Toni

Good evening, I drive a 3L V6 CDTI, but in the Vectra C. Since there are not quite as many problems in the forum as here, I prefer to ask right now in the Saab Forum. My 3.0CDTi is built in 2005, has now run 69TKM and with 40TKM already got a new high-pressure pump, at 65000KM it was broken again, but we only changed the two pressure control valves, that was enough. But for a few days the engine clacks clearly, as if a hydropump the Geis t, is this problem known with these “coal motors”? MFG ECOTEC

Are there any disadvantages such as overloading or a check of the engine on the test bench to be feared? A patient who wanted to have his Harley tested on the test bench expressed corresponding doubts as to whether this is really so good! Reason given: am the days for a further training in South Tyrol and wants to visit the company Hirsch in St. Gallen via an East-West Alpine tour (Brixen, Merano, Chur) and have engine tested there on the 16th of July. And second question to the Swiss or other Alpine pass: Will either turn over the oven and then Flüelapass towards Chur or instead of Flüelapass over the Julierpass. Which one, Flüela or Julier. has more driving fun? Have fun and good ride on all sides! Kraxelwolf and Testwolf

Hello, I’ve been wrestling for a long time with the idea of a chip tuning. 1500 EURO plus installation, so incl. VAT 2320 EURO at Hirsch were just too expensive for a pure software solution. And then you also have “only” 250 HP in Viggen. Abbott Racing, one of the most long-standing tuning forgings for Saab, offers if you order by mid-March or a deposit makes now probably the chip tuning for all Saab models including installation and VAT (including VAT) for 399 GBP, i.e. 585 EURO, and that at 265 HP in the Viggen. As for exactly a quarter (!) of the Hirsch-Preis more achievement! Sure, with deer one goes on the safe way, but Abbot also has a very good reputation and is as well known as deer. What do you think about it? Another thing: The trip to Abbott to England is a long way, but I think about connecting the whole with a short trip. Besides, Switzerland is not closer to me. Gruss, Philip

Hello, recently I am also the victim of the 3.0 TiD barrel lowering, year of construction 6/03, 78,000 km. In Bonn, however, I am probably the first one who does not get a Kulanz replacement engine. So far, it was the case that the customer has to pay only to a small extent. Now the new practice is that Saab Germany only increases 50% on the material costs, the rest should stay with me. (approx. 7.000,-€) On the other hand, I want to defend myself and need argumentative aids, addresses and information from other harmed persons. There is someone who is already struggling with the same problem. Who knows a lawyer who is working in this special area or who is already representing other clients in the matter. Every info is helpful.

Hello everyone, so I find this forum really great, I also read various posts but unfortunately still found no answer to my problem. So I am 1 week Saabneuling and must say that it is a pleasure to move this vehicle, if not this “check engine” light would always go on and off. In the Saabwerkstatt it was told to me it would be the AGR valve, because the car was standing for a while. But I have cleaned this already 2 times and see w The “Check Engine” lamp always goes on and off, always at different intervals, whether the engine is warm or cold, sometimes for 10 minutes then again for 30 minutes. The performance is then also correspondingly bad, does not pull at all. I also replaced the vacuum hoses, what can it be ? HELP ! Data from the car : Saab 93, BJ 2000, 116000km, 2.2TID, YS3DF35, 116PS M.f.G.

Hi finally had my deer demonstrated at the TÜV. Almost no probs, although I had some concerns about the ASU. Both plaques received. Everything in proper condition. Except for: engine/drive oil loss. However, I have never noticed, even in the deep or my home garage. What to think of such a finding. In my 9000er I had a clearer oil loss, even I have seen, but the TÜV at the time did not. Take seriously, ignore n, wipe off or simply control oil levels often or ???? Speaking of ASU: The CO value with 0.016 %Vol seems to me to be quite gratifying low. According to the note 0.30 %Vol. Otherwise all nice stress at Christmas Wolf

Hello together… I read something interesting today…. Saab is developing an E85 ethanol engine for the entire GM group with a capacity of 1.6 liters and capacities between 125 and 200 hp. It is to be used for the first time in the new compact Saab in 2008 ???? madness….there it probably boils at Saab…Facelift 9-3 , compact model and finally the proof that Saab also develops and not only lets develop. Greetings Swedishmoose
