Hello all, I have a 2001 9-5 SE that has a small oil leak which drips on the heat cover for the turbo occasionally causing wisps of smoke appearing while at a stoplight. Gaskets are fine, but I...

Update: checked out quite a few sites and looks like either the temp sensor or harness/connector is bad. However, one site said to jiggle the wires going into the temp sensor and wouldn't you know,...

Hello all,

Just saw my 2001 9-5 SE's engine coolant temp gauge on the dashboard not working. Was working yesterday. Coolant level is fine, it blows hot and cold air normally. I'm thinking engine...

Thanks. I did find a unused space saver spare on Ebay for $45 with shipping. Works for me!

Have a 2001 9-5 SE wagon and the space saver spare tire has a bent rim. Any ideas on getting a full size spare wheel/tire (16") so I don't have to drive too slow on the space saver if I get a flat?...

Many thanks. Back to the mechanic to fix their problem apparently.

When looking at the engine from the front the new coil pack is at the front. Is that where cylinder #6 is? I tried to locate a cylinder map of the engine (6 cylinder) to find out which cylinder is...

Car in question is a 2001 9-5 SE with 3.0 engine. 80k on it. Just had new valve cover gaskets and new coil pack installed.
Issue is when I'm at a stop light for more than 1 minute car surges...

Looking for the WIS for a 2001 9-5. I've seen plenty out there but does anyone know of one that they trust and that works on a standard Dell laptop that's a year old?
Many thanks.

2001 9-5 SE...

Either one. Very few Saabs in junkyards here in South Florida.

Hello all, I have a 2001 9-5 SE and the drivers seat leather is really falling apart. Would cost around $300 to repair. Any suggestions as to a good, moderately priced car seat covers?

I have a 2001 9-5 SE with 70k miles and have a rattling sound from the front when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. Might be happening at higher speeds but can't hear it due to road noise. It...

Have a 2001 9-5 SE (V-6, ~70K miles) that has started to get worse and worse gas mileage. Right now around town I'm looking at about 20 mpg. Previously I was averaging about 23-25 mpg. New plugs,...

Thanks Frank. Visited your new Motor Life blog. Very nice!

Hello all,

On my 2001 9-5 SE wagon what would be the downside to simply disconnecting the alarm cable at the box by the front wheel for a couple of weeks, other than the obvious one of not having...

Okay, it's a 2001.

The door ajar display on my 201 9-5 SE has been showing the liftgate as ajar, but it isn't. Not that big of a deal, a little black tape works wonders until I was going to check the liftgate, but just...

I have a 2001 95 SE (with the 3.0 6 cylinder engine). About 64K miles on it. Went outside just now after driving the car for a little while to check on the Check Engine and Transmission lights which...

On my 2001 9-5 SE. Old stylish. I like the BBS wheels on one of the previous posts.

I experience the exact same feeling...

It seems that whenever I have my directionals on, every now and then the blinker seems to "skip" a beat. It continues blinking but has anyone else experienced that phenomenon?

He said flush the system. Backing up, I guess as a non-expert in ATF, would the 3309 cause any problems instead of the Dexron III? I happen to have a case of the 3309 and since it's also mineral...

Hey Frank,

Would you say Mobil 3309 would work for a 2001 9-5 SE? Both it and the Dexron III are mineral-based so not sure it that would be a problem. My mechanic wants ~$150 to change the TF.

Can I use Mobil 3309 for a 2001 9-5 SE?

It was P0420 and they don't specialize in Saab's but he's always be an honest mechanic throughout the years.
