Saab

This will sound weird, Change the bulbs in the visor mirror. The solenoid that allows the shifter to move grounds through these bulbs. Saabs were strange and wonderful until GM got ah-old of the company

This is a normal result of running the engine. Hot oil, or most any hot liquid, will vaporize to some extent depending on the temperature and pressure involved. The oil pump forces the oil through the engine passageways at about 50 psi (more or less) so that all moving parts are lubricated. The oil becomes heated through the friction of the moving parts, to around 250 degrees F. What you are seeing is the vaporization of the oil.

I have the same problemsaab 95 kombi - 1999you have to change the battery of alarm system (change the horn complete ;-(

The 2003 9-3 doesn't have a replaceable filter, I doubt the 9-5 does either.

Anything is possible but the cost incurred would not be worth the effort.

Pretty much the way you change a wheel bearing in any car... remove the old one, install the new one. In order to give a proper answer, however, we need to know more. Year and model? Front or rear? I recently replaced a rear bearing on my Classic 900. 1. Jack up the car and remove the wheel. Place jack stands under the car. 2. Remove the caliper. If the line is not disconnected, hang the caliper from the suspension. 3. Remove the brake disc. There are two screws that hold the disc in place and an impact screwdriver may be needed to remove them. 4. Remove the hub cap, the small cover over the axle hub. Remove the axle nut. Remove the bearing housing. 5. The new bearing comes installed in a new bearing housing. Slide it into place. Install a new axle nut and torque to 200 ft.lbs. 6. Re-install everything else.

Well I have a Saab 900. If you are referring to what side the tank is on, its the passenger side which took me a long long time to get used to. Saab always has to do something unique(and usually impractical) but if that's not what your talking about, on my 900 it is on the passenger side just in front of the rear axle.

About 93,000 Saabs were sold globaly in 2008.

You don't specify a year, but I will presume you mean the Classic 900 (1979-93). The '79-'80 models had the B engine with the water pump in the engine block. The H engine (8-valve) and B202 (16-valve) have the water pump mounted at the front of the engine, near the firewall (Saab engines are installed reverse of most cars). Most manuals specify removing the air conditioning compressor to access the water pump, but it can be replaced without that step.

1) Loosen the drive belts by loosening the alternator. 2) Remove the pulley on the water pump. 4 10mm bolts. 3) Remove the water pump. 4) Install new gasket and new water pump. Use only a water pump with a cast impeller, not one with a pressed steel impeller. The latter does not provide proper flow for cooling. 5) Install the pulley, install the belts, tighten the alternator.

See Saabsite.com. They have all the steps and often photos. VVVVVVVVVrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!

Trouble code P0300 means:Random/multiple cylinders misfire detected

took me a while to figure it out, as it is almost exactly opposite the cruise control on my Chevy pickup. To turn it on, press the lever on the left hand stalk toward the right (toward the steering column). This will turn on the cruise control. Set your initial speed by pressing the button on the end of the stalk. Unlike my pickup, to increase speed hold the button in. To coast and reset to a slower speed hold the switch to the right.

Unlike American cars, the cruise light on the dashboard just tells you the cruise control is turned on...it does not mean it's engaged! So, even if you hit the brakes which disengages it, the cruise light will be on until you either turn off the car, or deliberately turn it off by pushing the switch on the left hand stalk to the left.

Hope this helps. (BTW, there is a SLIGHT chance I have reversed which increases speed (button on end or switch) and which coasts and decreases it...I now automatically adjust as I move from vehicle to vehicle, but as I'm not driving either at the moment (aren't you glad?) I may have just written it up backwards.) But you get the idea (I hope.)

how do i replace the front strut

on 1999 Saab 9-3

Remove the door panel/handle/surround

Roll the window down if possible

Remove the trim strips - inside & out -CAREFULLY - they just pop off the top of the door but it is scary at first

Loosen the two screws inside the channel on the regulator holding the window to the regulator - they will probably be quite tight

Rotate the glass and remove it from the door square end - back - first

Reverse the procedure to re-install and be sure you pay attention to where everything goes.

Good luck

The parent company of Saab is Spyker cars N.V. It was sold by General Moters on the 23 Febuary 2010.

The suggested retail price of a Saab 900 according to Kelly Blue Book is $2,375 to $4,625 based on the quality of the interior, exterior, mileage, and engine components.

It should be SAE 10W30 weight. I like Castrol GTX in mine, but there are a lot of very good oils on the market.

Yo, im in a similar case senario, but i drive a 86 Nissan pickup and not a Saab. You have to be more specific on what's happening. Pull one of the spark plug wires off the spark plug and hold it 1/8 of an inch from a bare metal part of the engine and have someone try the ignition. If it sparks, you have fire and problems are fuel ratio or vacuum lines or worse. If not your lookin at maybe distributor cap and rotor if applicable or maybe just the distributor-less wires.

Stuck as in what? Is it like not closing/opening, or is it literally stuck in between stages? If its stuck half way, usually starting the car again or pressing the button for longer will start it again, otherwise get a repair center to look at it.

I'm not sure who invented it but Saab began in about 1925, producing aeroplane parts. It was only later on that they began manufacturing cars.

It depends on the year and model. On the model 99 (1969-84), it was located in the engine compartment on the right side. On the model 900 (1979-93) is was on the left side atop the left front fender. On the 9000 (1986-98) the main fuse panel is in the passenger compartment.

I would suggest that your Saab 9-5 gearbox is broken.

That's a great question!!! can't find this info anywhere!!!

If it's an '04 - '10 you must remove the passenger's side trunk liner which entails removing the front liner and the trunk to top partition. There are just a bunch of clips with centers that you push in about 1/8 inch then pull the clip out and 6 Torx head screws. The 2 black clips that attach the side liner to the floor are christmes tree type and may break. It's pretty obvious once the side liner is removed. Uses chf 11s hydraulic oil. I found some at a local import parts store.
