Probably a stretched clutch cable, that is preventing you from fully disengaging the clutch as you push the pedal all the way down. The way this manifested itself in my '95 900S Turbo was initially grinding when shifting into reverse...as the cable stretched more that also began to grind when shifting into 1st. It got so bad I had to turn the engine off, shift into reverse, and then start it up again to back up. And of course if you can't shift into reverse you can't take the key out of the ignition.

So what to do? The clutch cable had NO provisions to adjust its length...a serious design flaw in my opinion. I think someone may offer an aftermarket adjustable cable...some web searches may find it for you. I worked around the problem for 9 months by shimming the cable: I cut a slit in a fender washer and bent the washer into a curve. Then in the engine compartment I found where the clutch lever came out of the transmission, and put the washer IN FRONT OF the arm and behind "the ball" that is the end of the cable. That in effect shortened the cable length by the thickness of the washer and all was well again.

That is, all was well again until 9 months later when in the course of a day the cable suddenly started to stretch all over again and then snapped...leaving me to be towed.

Later years (I think with the 9-3) converted to a hydraulic clutch which eliminated the condition.

One last note: There was an engineering notice...when a dealer puts in a new clutch cable, they now put TWO (rather than just one) washer to shim the cable, but IIRC that's on the other end of the cable, not by the arm. For the rest of the time I had the car I carried a cut fender washer bent into the appropriate curve in my glove box, just in case I started to have the trouble anew.

Good luck,

the code stands for a "Large Evap Leak" check your gas cap seal and change out the gas cap if the seal is bad, do not purchase aftermarket gas caps for Saabs.

Try the following website: www.programyourremote.com I have used this website for many a remote programming. It is free, costs NOTHING!!!

Well, MAYBE the same way I would read my 1995 Saab 900SE oil: by removing the large diameter oil fill cap on the top of the engine. The oil dipstick was built onto it...so remove the cap and stick, wipe it with a rag, then fully put it back in. Withdraw it again and see how high on the stick you can see oil. There are 2 marks, or holes on the stick. The higher one is the ideal oil level. The lower one is about a quart low. But I do not know if your car had essentially the same 4 cylinder engine. But once you locate the dipstick, the process is the same.

Of course this should be done with the car parked on level ground and with the engine off. And you want to let oil drain into the crankcase for a minute or two. I found that when I'm filling my tank, once I have the gas tank refilled any oil that would drain down in the engine and raise the level on the dipstick would have done so. I would check my oil level maybe once a month, after initial every gas tank refill checks showed the level was not steadily dropping.

I have read that oil consumption of almost a quart a thousand miles is within tolerences...but I have NEVER seen consumption anything like that except with older extremely high mileage engines over 150k miles and worn rings...and those engines would not be passing CA smog tests long before. OR, if the engine had an actual oil leak. Most of my vehicles were apt to develop a leak when they got real high mileage at the rear main seal...where the crankshaft extends from the engine into the flywheel. Such repairs can be pricey...and quarts of oil are relatively cheap...draw your own conclusions.

BUut do NOT let your engine ever run out of oil, unless you want to rename it "your old original" engine.

Hope that helps.

The primary difference between the 1999 Saab 9-3 and the 1999 Saab 9-3 SE lies in their trim levels and features. The "SE" designation typically signifies a higher trim level, offering more luxurious options, enhanced performance features, and additional technology compared to the base model. This often includes upgrades like premium interior materials, better audio systems, and possibly more powerful engine options. Overall, the 9-3 SE is designed for a more refined driving experience.

On a 2004 Saab 9-3, the low-pressure AC port is typically located on the larger diameter aluminum line, which runs from the compressor to the evaporator. You can find it near the front of the engine bay, usually on the passenger side. It's often marked with a blue cap for easy identification. Always ensure the engine is off and the AC system is properly serviced before attempting any work on it.

The cost to tax a Saab diesel estate for six months in the UK depends on several factors, including the vehicle's CO2 emissions and its age. Typically, the road tax for diesel vehicles can range from approximately £0 to over £300 for six months. To get an accurate figure, you can check the vehicle's specific tax band using the UK government's online vehicle tax calculator or consult the latest tax rates for diesel vehicles.

The Saab 9-5, depending on the engine variant, typically uses a timing chain rather than a timing belt. However, it's essential to check the specific model year and engine type, as there may be variations. Timing chains generally require less frequent replacement compared to timing belts, which need regular maintenance. Always refer to the owner's manual or a trusted mechanic for detailed information about your specific vehicle.

In a Saab, the motor blower relay is typically located in the fuse box, which is usually found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment, depending on the model. For many Saab models, you can find the specific relay by consulting the fuse box diagram, which indicates the location and function of each relay. If you're unable to locate it, referring to the vehicle's service manual can provide detailed information specific to your model.

To fill up the clutch fluid on a 1996 Saab 900, locate the clutch master cylinder reservoir, which is typically found near the back of the engine bay, close to the driver's side. The reservoir is usually a small, translucent container with a cap labeled for clutch fluid. Use the correct type of fluid, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, and ensure the fluid level is between the minimum and maximum markings on the reservoir. After filling, securely replace the cap to prevent contamination.

In a 2003 Saab 9-3, the headlamp fuse is located in the fuse box, which is typically found under the dashboard on the driver's side. You may also find another fuse box in the engine compartment. To identify the specific fuse for the headlamps, refer to the fuse diagram on the fuse box cover or consult the owner's manual for the exact fuse number and its location.

To adjust the headlights on a 2007 Saab 9-5 Aero, first park the vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet from a wall. Turn on the headlights and mark the center of the light beam on the wall. Use a screwdriver to turn the vertical and horizontal adjustment screws located near the headlight assembly until the beam aligns with the marks. Ensure both headlights are adjusted to the same height and angle for optimal visibility.

In a 1999 Saab 9-5, the fuel pump relay is located in the engine compartment, specifically in the relay box near the battery. To access it, open the hood and look for the rectangular relay box, usually situated on the driver's side. The fuel pump relay is typically labeled in the diagram found on the cover of the relay box. Always consult the vehicle's manual for precise identification and troubleshooting.
