Saab automobiles

I’m having trouble with the calibers in my rear brakes on an 88 9000T.  The
rotor’s been damaged and there’s a lot of replacing to be done.  Is it worth
salvagin a car with this problem?  256000km running smooth, with rust.

Is this a sign of things to come?  Or is it just a milestone to be passed?

Hi,

I have a 2001 9-5SE Estate 2.3t. The problem is that when the ventilation is
set to re-circulate, there is a very annoying noise from under the dash on
the drivers side (right-hand drive). It is like a whistle / whine sort of
noise and can be quite clearly heard. The Saab dealer says this is normal
and nothing can be done.

Has anybody else got this problem and any ideas or solutions?

Many thanks in advance,

Leon Gross

I have a T 68 i and a 9.5 Saab as car.
The car is from 05/99
I know that the car is pre-mounted for gsm (mike, and so one)
I know that the car is ok for gsm coming from nokia; siemens and ericsson

How connect my t68 i to the car ?
Witch part need I to do so ?
Thanks
and sorry for my poor english

This is my first post to this group.  I am in the market for a used
SAAB 900 and I am wondering what the major differences are between the
94/95 and the 1996+ models.  I understand that Saab dropped the 6 cyl,
which begs the question: which is better, 4 or 6 cyl?

As well, what are the major differences in body styles?  

Are there any particular things I should watch out for when looking at
94+ used 900′s?

Thanks.

1995 900 se and the air bag light just came on. Any ideas on what to look
for? Fuse ? anything

Fellow Saab enthusiasts,

The SRS icon lit up after I’ve replaced the ‘dead’ battery from my 9000CD.
Any idea why? How much to fix? Or did the ‘jump’ prior changing the battery
fried the SRS circuit? Or is it just a ‘false’ alarm.

If by ‘jump-starting’ fried the SRS circuitry, shouldn’t it also fry my
other electronics?

BTW. Tried to ‘jump-start’ the dead battery without success from a Honda
CR-V battery. Same voltage, not sure about the current (amp) but isn’t it
less amperage than the Saab?!

Summer is here!

Time to buy that sporty convertible you always wanted – and at a great price.
Due to the fact that I have to spend a great deal of money to attend grad
school, my wife and I have to sell our sports car.

It is a wonderful dark green LOADED Saab 9-3 SE Turbo convertible w/just 33,000
miles on it (tan leather interior, black top). Some quick facts (note Web site
below, as well)

* extended 3 year warranty
* power EVERYTHING (locks, windows, seats, etc.)
* automatic transmission
* Keyless entry and alarm system
* new tires with clean alloy rims
* CD player, heated seats, the heigh of luxury!

What’s the best place/price for a rebuilt turbo for a ’90 9000CD?

I made an offer on a 2001 9-5 SE wagon, 7000 miles, automatic, loaded
(including ventilated seats).  Dealer in Mass. says it was a Saab
exec’s car and was asking 32,900, I offered 29K, showing an ad from a
nearby dealer selling same cars, same miles (but loaners – "maybe" a
big difference ?) for 27,900, but no ventilated seats.  Dealer
wouldn’t take anything under 30K so I walked.  I’m interested to know
if anyone else has recently gotten a "good deal" on a similar Saab.

Yes, I’d prefer a wagon, and I love the ventilated seats, but it’s
hard to justify spending more on THIS used car than on, say, a brand
new 2002 Acura TL that has more HP (but less torque) and (at least on
paper) has just about everything the Saab has (minus the wagon, turbo,
and ventilated seats) and is (arguably) more reliable, for around
29,500 (including destination charge).  And for less than 1K, I could
probably outfit the TL with a functional roof rack/carrier system, and
even a utility trailer and hitch for the trips to the home warehouse
stores, neutralizing some the wagon’s benefit.

Am I missing something here ?
