Saab

As you probably know, it is not as easy as just replacing the bulb. Surprisingly complex! I decided the easiest option was to bring it to the dealer and for £10 they replace it.

I find that the right dipped beam keeps failing every 3 to 4 months, which is very annoying. Maybe it is just this car, but I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem...

As of February 2010, the Saab brand has been purchased from General Motors by Spyker Cars MV, a Dutch racing manufacturer who have kept the Saab name alive, much to the satisfaction of the enthusiast and owner communities. 2010 Saab models are arriving at dealerships presently (still using the design and development set in place in the previous year by GM), and the 2011 model line will be unveiling shortly.

Recent news reports from the Saab factory floor in Trollhattan (Sweden) indicate that over 180 previous laid-off factory workers have been returned to service, boosting production and aiming to achieve projected unit and sales goals for the current fiscal quarter.

The NG900 SAAB 900 Turbo SEs (1994-1998) Did not have MAF sensors. It has a MAP sensor which is mounted on the engine crossmember. It cannot be cleaned, only replaced.

You may see MAF's online for them but you will quickly find there is no where under that hood to put it. It normally is clamped between the air tube to the air filter box and the air filter box.

This information was verified by a call to a local SAAB dealer part tech.

Problem with the car

It really depends on the year and model as the braking systems are different on different models, and sometimes change over the course of the model. However, since Saabs are Front Wheel Drive, a rear caliper is easier to replace than the fronts. Remove the brake line and parking brake cable (if there is one). Remove the old caliper and install the new one. Re-install the brake line and parking brake pieces. Bleed the brakes.

The VIN number on most cars is located in two places. On the dash board along the bottom of the windshield, and on the drivers side door on a sticker on the door jam or door itself where the door closes and meets the car. also most Saab and imports have the vin number etched into the drivers / passenger side windows or in come cases into all four windows.

Inside the trunk on the right and left sides, there are two pull down doors in the carpet liner. Simply pull the tab down to reveal the back of the turn signal, reverse and brake light assembly. In the center there are tabs that when squeezed and pulled straight back, release the assembly and allow access to all 3 bulbs. Changing them is just a matter of pressing the bulb in gently and turning it counter-clockwise. Replace everything in reverse order and you're done.

Well you really can't on your car. All they keys are programmed in to what's called the dice unit, which is in turn spider webbed into the rest of the cars systems. The dice unit would need to be bypassed/flashed and after market parts to duplicate/repeated a key signal would be needed. And that would just be the electronics side. Have a licensed/bonded/insured saab specialist in your are re-key and program the dice .

~Warning~ 99% of people out side a deal who claim they can flash the ecm or reprogram the dice etc can not. To do it right where it won't trash that very temperamental saab. Its 1000s in tools and software you can't even find stateside, takes hours of trial and error ( unless you a dealer )and for every one I have done I have cooked/bricked at least two.

Go to saabnet.com. Answers there.

I have a Saab 9-5 and its blower motor is located in the front of the windshield underneath the wipers

Mainly, A turbo.

Also the pistons are different. and gearbox has slightly higher gearing. Other than that, pretty much the same.

Oh, add more power too.

Saab Automobile AB is a Swedish car manufacturer. After struggling to avoid insolvency throughout 2011, the company petitioned the Swedish court for bankruptcy following the failure of a Chinese consortium to complete a purchase of the company; the purchase had been blocked by former owner GM, which opposed the transfer of technology and production rights to a Chinese company. On June 13, 2012 it was announced that the National Electric Vehicle Sweden had bought Saab Automobile's bankruptcy estate.

If it is like a 1989 saab 9000, you remove the front passenger wheel, remove all the plastic from the wheel well, and the alternator should be rite there. You can also get to it by removing the manifold, which allows much easier access to the alternator, but then you need a new manifold gasket.

You will need to loosen the alternator belt with the tensioner pulley. When the tensioner pulley is loose the alternator belt will become loose. Put the new alternator belt on and tighten the tensioner pulley.

5.9 quarts of synthetic motor oil meeting GM-LL-A-025 (capacity is 6.3 quarts or 6 litres but not all the oil drains out)

yes it does under the intake manifold and not cheap i have oil in my coolant took it a part bad cooler I'm try to put external in front of rad i hope it works.

Yes, the computer adjusts the ignition to compensate for lower octane. Less performance, but no harm

the day mario was born is may 27.

I did check the oil level when the car was returned a couple of weeks ago and noticed that the level was on max, I've checked again and dont think the level has dropped any, not sure if this indicates that its not burning oil? all other levels are also ok.

Roughly 4.

There isn't a fuse. On the drivers side wheelwell (you have to remove the rubber cover ) there is a box. Unplug the box and it disables the alarm. In the box is a pair of batteries that you can replace if you are decent at soldering. By replacing the batteries it will allow the alarm to work properly.

The CPS is located on the lower left front of the engine, near the transmission and behind the catalytic converter.

The really easy way to do this is to get a 6 disc trunk mounted player if your radio has the CD player controls as well as the cassette - it will have buttons like CD/Radio/Disc to the left side.

If it does just get a player from a wrecked car -with the mounting brackets for sure - and put it in since the wiring is already run to the back of the car on the left side up behind the side panel. this lets you keep the radio in place and get the CD player.

Pretty easy - I just did it to my 1997 900SE last week
