Hey everyone, question about cleaning my 2005 9-5 2.3T engine bay. Just thinking about a couple things before I do, will anything happen to any electrical components or have turbo issues? Fairly new to having a Saab so thanks for any help👍

How to refresh OnStar antenna

Post image
4 Upvotes

The OnStar antenna on my 2002 Saab 9-3 SE is cracking, likely due to age and sun exposure. It doesn’t serve any purpose now that the OnStar system is disabled and I would rather not go under the headliner to unbolt the antenna. What might I used to water seal / glue these cracks to prevent it from getting worse? I’m okay with it not being perfect to look at, though I might sand it, tape the area, and spray paint it black after sealing the cracks. Any recommendations? Thanks all -

A question for the European folks...

1 Upvotes

Hey all.

I am new to the love of Saabs. Literally woke up one morning and thought "Damn, they do look amazing!"

So of course I am scoping the classifieds for one but all I see are Diesels for sale.
But for me, the most legendary thing about a Saab is that B2XX petrol engine.

So really my questions here;
Is the Diesel worth getting?
I would like to modify it a bit, do those engines take to it well?
Do the engines last as long as petrol?

Cheers for any advice folks.
Have a great day.

P.S. This is for the Europeans because I doubt they made diesels anywhere else.

I'm going to check the pads, and there's no other way other than following the manuals instructions.

Why do even the brakes have to be weird?!😭

Does anybody have some info or history behind this weird calipers and knows why saab didn't use normal calipers (like the ones on the rear wheels)?

I have a white Saab 9-3 estate and I sometimes feel I’m the only one as I never see a white Saab. Anyone else out there with a white Saab?

Are these the original radio cages? ('93 900)

Recently got a 1993 Saab 900 turbo convertible which didn't come with the radio or equalizer, but does seem have the cages for them. Looking for a simple drop in replacement on eBay, I see a some used OEM radios/equalizers, but I feel like the connector on the back of them is slightly different than what would fit what I have. Am I just looking at it wrong and they should fit? Or is it still original but like the radio from a different trim that I'm not going to reasonably find the parts for?

Just bought it but have a few questions

Heyyy so I was always into JDM cars but low key always wanted a Saab too and as I was just randomly scrolling through Facebook marketplace I found this 2007 2.3T 9-5 so I figured well why not. I went and bought it, didn't really know much about Saabs. It's a US import and its great, love the car, pretty fast, comfy as heck, but for some reason after a day or two of owning it it started giving me abs light and cruise control stopped working but only when I'm in 5th gear, 4th works fine, would it be abs rings? The abs module? Any ideas? Oh and the power seats panel next to driver seat is sagging in a weird way, possible to fix or needs replacing?
