We are Saab family. From Oldsmobiles we moved to Saabs. We have two silver 9-7x 2007 and 2008, a 1999 9-3 convertible and 2009 black 9-7X with long sad story and hopefully good ending soon. black one suffered a whole front fire. I bought a donor 9-7X for all the parts. So far whole wiring harness is swapped, brake booster with cylinder, and once it gets warm engine will be dropped. Whole engine comparent was sandblasted and painted. Will post pictures with updates.

Does anyone else with an older classic flit between loving their Saab and then going through weeks/months/years of not having the time/money/effort to do anything with it? I have considered selling my Carlsson many times but i know deep down i will never have another so hold on to it!

I have never cleaned a car's engine bay, but a few nights ago I was driving after it had snowed and after the road had been salted, which is something I try to avoid,.

Today just went to check the oil and noticed salt splotches here and there, not extensive, but here's the thought that's gnawing at me - if I can see some salt, how much is hidden? 2003, 9-3, 2.0. No rust issues.

Should I clean the whole thing?

My amp under my driver seat went out so I replaced it with the exact same one however, now the sound quality is different? Has that happened to anyone else? The bass isn’t as strong and vocals aren’t as clear. 93 03

Help..........2007 Saab 9.3 2.0T, has 70 000 miles. Started to choke while driving, first as i slowed down , it wouldnt accelerate again, after a bit it starts working again. I changed the spark plugs, coils, cleaned all the valves and manifolds, had a small leak on the Valve cover , i changed the gasket.. Despite all this work, The problem persists , it runs normal a bit then it chokes again and the engine starts shaking. when i reset the electronics, it starts running normal again and then engine stops to shake, just for a a short period then the engine starts shaking again. Please advise. Thank you

Here are two of our silver Saabs and pictures of some work right after fire.

I found a b235r motor 2,3 areo from 2002 is it worth it putting it in my mk1 9-3 from 1998?

I recently wired in an aux cord for my 2006 Saab 9-5 with Denso Nav by connecting it to the audio leads of the CD changer and putting in a CD so the head unit thinks it's playing a CD. Could there be a simple way to forego the CD changer unit and attach a sort of dummy load/emulator, to use the CD input as an aux? Everything works fine as is and sounds good, but it would be great to free up some trunk space. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Some 2y ago I posted the exterior work on my 900. Now its time to share the restorations done to engine(bay) and interior. Took some time but hope you guys approve.

Original Saab part. Refurbished. Worldwide shipment.

Shifted into low gear on a steep grade and the slidey thing broke and came out of its track, now the whole housing is popping off

I want to buy a Saab 9-3 but because of insurance need to consider engine sizes more carefully What engines are the best/most reliable for this car Ive excluded the 2.0T and 2.6 straight away and would probably be looking for a diesel
