Car had been parked since February after the oil light came on. Dropped the sump and found the screen clogged, cleaned, installed new o-ring on the oil pick up - pulled valve cover, wasn't too...

Update - finally felt up to repairing the 95, drove it for the first time yesterday. Put in an oil pressure gauge - apparently a cheap one. Started out reading in the 60-70's when cold - after a...

That was my thinking after studying the diagram again. You install a new part and expect it to be perfect - but perhaps not. I know the little PCV valve is good, it's easy to check - but will pull...

Well after much delay...here is what was found.
I took the time, purchased a gauge, sensor and adapter. After installation and oil change, cranked the engine for about 30 secs.= 0 oil pressure....

Thanks again for input. I wish there were an easy way to connect a gauge. I did replace the sensor, I remember having to pull the starter and using a crowfoot to install. I doubt I installed an OEM...

Thanks for the replies. I dropped the sump about 10,000 miles ago (163,000 miles), wasn't real dirty - do you think it would be clogged already?. Did PVC update, new engine mounts, new front seal,...

Saab 95 sitting in the garage right now, the oil light came on - but seems to be operating backwards from what on would think. When the engine is good and warm, driving at highway speed - light...

2003 9-5 Linear. As the title says - I replaced the shifter jalousie last night, now the SID is very dim. The part I struggled with was the winter switch - during disassembly the wires came off and...

Leak has decreased, but I'm just living with the problem. I notice if I drive carefully, don't get into the boost much, it doesn't leak. I am hoping the the seal will re-shape after a bit and seal...

Just had the low pressure line replaced and a/c serviced. What I have noticed is the air on the driver's side is warmer than the passenger side. I checked the ACC codes - reads 0, no codes. If I...

Had similar issues trying to remove the wiper arms from 2003 95 - need to get to back of ECU. Tried several different types of pullers, soaking overnight, plastic mallet, etc. Finally went to a...

Wow - it's been 18 months since I started this post! I am still living with the problem because I don't drive the car much - still only 166k miles. Finally bought UV dye and a light, jacked car up...

Experienced similar clunk when entering driveway or low curbs, but not during braking, coming from passenger floor area. I replaced the front sub-frame bushings with urethane - no noise and handling...

Used Permatex #51813, anerobic sealant. I put circle around all the bolt holes - used a bit heavier bead second time around. Of course you can't get a torque wrench on a couple of the bolts - but can...

2003 9-5 Linear, OK - dropped the pan and checked for gunk, clean and replaced - and had an oil leak. Thought perhaps I gummed up the gasket sealer refitting the pan. So I pulled the pan a second...

Job completed. Went to a muffler shop and got a couple of short pieces of 2" pipe to help keep bushings aligned and going straight while I tried to pull in with all-thread and bolts - didn't help...

I've been searching for a list of torques settings without much luck - found a partial list for the engine. Specifically I am wrapping up replacing the sub-frame bushings - wasn't real tight when I...

Depends on your definition of 'hard'. I'm not as young as I once was, so work a little slow getting up and down, etc. I have recently dropped the sump(twice), replaced the oil pressure sensor - so...

Hmmm...no replies or hints? Dropped the entire sub-frame - I had previously broken a bolt on the rear engine mount so needed to repair anyway. My biggest difficulty was the sway bar links, finally...

Planning to tackle this over the weekend as I can clearly see the rear bushings are shot. Bought urethane bushings - instructions say that one side can be dropped enough to install, then do the other...

I did this last weekend, in addition to new belt tensioner pulley, idler pulley and belt. Not a difficult project - except the C-ring, even though I had a large plier from a transmission rebuild, it...

TCS/ESP Off light, Red Triangle warning light, Brake light, ABS Warning lights all came on - but my tach, speedo and cruise control continue to work. Is this really a module failure? Or is there...

I had the same situation, I took the relay apart and soldered the PCB contacts. It worked for a while - but then one light went dark so I bought a replacement off eBay and kept the old one for a back...

Just a quick update - I did replace the filter, it was filthy! The noise has not gone away - even with warmer temps. What's puzzling is that it is intermittent - and it is fan speed related,...

Update - checked the wiring, appeared OK. Have been watching the coolant level and perhaps there was an air bubble. Have added a bit on several occasions and now temp seems to have stabilized.
