if your brake fluid is low, you probably need to replace your brake pads. If your pads are good and you fluid is low, you have a leak somewhere. By replacing your pads, the brake fluid level will rise to the proper level. If you add fluid now, then replace your pads, brake fluid will leak out the top of your fluid reservoir and most likely eat the paint off what ever it spills on. Brake fluid and car paint DO NOT MIX.

The average salary of a high school principal in Quebec is about C$85,000. Senior administration officials average considerably more than that.

only place I know of is at a dealer.

You can buy a spare key on eBay for the electronic component of the key. Then go to a dealer to get a key made based on your VIN number. Then you can have anyone with a Tech II device "synchronize" the new key along with all other keys to the TWICE module on the car. All keys must be present during the programming any time a new key is added. This method is cheaper than going to a dealer for the entire process. Many independent Saab shops have a Tech II and will program keys for less than a dealer.

It depends on the engine and the country. Read your owners manual for the correct answer for your particular vehicle.

2007 Saab 9-3 tail light bulb replacement: Purchase the correct replacement bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. Then consult your owner's manual for the replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions and illustrations. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).

Brake pads are usually between $50 and $100 for a set (each axle), depending on quality. and if you really insist on turning your rotors, you are probably going to pay for 4 hours of labor total with pads installed and rotors turned, labor is also between $50 and $100 per hour. There are many variations as far as "brake jobs" go. You might get there and find out you need 4 calipers too... oops! tack on another $400. Do your self a favor and buy new rotors so your brake pedal doesn't pulsate after 10 miles of lead foot driving!

I would check out local auctions on cars to see what they have to offer on pre owned Saabs. I would also check out your local newspaper and Craigslist too.

It is a big hex plug on the center rite side of the case. Can be pretty hard to take out sometimes, so don't be afraid to put some good force on it.

Contact a locksmith or a Saab dealer.

Pop the hood, In a black box located on the driver side of the engine compartmentnext to the firewall. If yours is like mine its bright orange.

Good luck!

P0300 Diagnostic Code - Random Misfire

Symptoms.
Engine may stumble or miss
Engine may be hard to start
you may notice no issues

Cause
Failing spark plugs or spark plug wires
Bad coil or coil pack
Failing oxygen sensor(s)
Bad fuel injector or more than one
Stuck exhaust valve
Bad catalytic converter
EGR valve or valve passage clogging
Bad camshaft position sensor
Bad PCM or ECM

The Fix
Best first action is a tune up, new plugs, wires, inspect all hoses and wire connections then reset the code. If it returns you will need to narrow it down to a system, coils and coil packs should be tested, catalytic converters for function ( do you smell rotten eggs?). A misfire that jumps cylinders could indicate a lean condition, do you have any other codes along with the 300? this will help clue you in to the source, check valve function to make sure they are opening and closing fully.
This is probably pone of the most difficult codes to troubleshoot, so start with the basics and work your way into the more expensive options, in many cases a good old tune up solves the problem, back it up with a fuel system cleaning and see where you stand.

Saab cars can be bought at a variety of places. Some of these include Auto Trader, Exchange and Mart, Gumtree, Ebay, Parkers, Saab Parts, V Cars, Cambridge Saab and Classic Cars for Sale.

Same as Non- Turbo decribed on this site. Although, I have never needed to remove the A/c Compressor or the Alt to complete the repair. A small mechanics mirror is helpful to some for the gasket removal. Scotch-Brite type scrubbing pads work well to remove gasket material bits once the majority is off.

(1) Open the hood; (2)unscrew the retainer from the back of the headlight; (3)pull the bulb socket out of the headlight assembly; (4)pull out the housing clips and remove the housing from the grill. NOTE:on later models there only 2 clips that are pulled up to release the headlight housing - one on each side. After pulling them up, simply move the headlamp housing forward from the vehicle. It may also be necessary to remove the headlight housing to change the bulb. - Haynes Repair Manual #36071; 1993-2005 Ford Ranger Pickups.

Well, if your 2003 is like mine (and all the others i assume) then they don't turn off, they're daytime running. This is kind of a pain because i feel like i went through my bulbs faster than if they did not run all the time. And then parking/brights/dash lights can be controlled with the knob to the left of the steering wheel below the air vent (as I'm sure you already know).

not possiable as the key is built into the Saab radio DICE which is your radio and your imobiliser ststem

Use a jeweler's screw driver, flat head, pointed round file, or similar tool to insert into the small hole on the side. Push on the tab with a force harder than what you think it should need. Angle the tool to the back to pop the back panel off. The cover can be pulled off the rest of the way with fingers. The replacement battery is CR 1632.

simple. you see a black round cover on the back of the headlight. unscrew it and pull it off. now the connector is VERY breakable (trust me i know!) so gently take it off. now is the hard part as its a tight fit and you cant see what you need the part you need to get to so feel with your hands around the bulb. you will feel a hinged hook that you can pull backwards (away from the front of the car). after you do that the bulb should slide right out. to install slide the new bulb in close the hook, reinstall the connector and put the cap back on! have fun!

I own A 2003 Saab 9.3 Convertable And I LOVE the car!!! It is an upscale car in the GM family and is therefor a little on the high price side to service and maintain but not any more so than most upscale car lines. The biggeest deterrant is the lack of dealers in any area to service the car and many smaller shop don't want to work on them. I am an 35 year GM technician working in a Cadillac shop and would strongly recommend that if you are looking at a used model be sure to have it carefully looked over by a QUALIFIED service tech and make sure the car has been serviced on a regular basis as this car will NOT survive if it is not properly maintained and serviced at the proper intervals. AS with ANY car with a turbo maintenance is CRITICAL !! If you find a good car as I did you will also Love this Car. Hope you ENJOY!!

If the vehicle drives fine, then it is the ECU protecting your engine/drivetrain. Engineers add this to the ECU to keep the geniuses of our society from over revving the engine or revving it high and dumping it into drive. It is there for a reason, so be happy it works.
