If you can't find the offeneding clip, then I'm afraid it's going to be a, camcover off! Whilst it might not cause much damage to the metal parts, the resulting swaf could well block an oil gallery...

He's got a 9-3, not a 9-5!

Then I'd say it's either the starter soloniod or the starter itself.

Are sure it's not the battery, they can die without warning! Failing that, bad earth, or the starter itself, do the dash lights dim when you turn the key?

Do the dash lights come on?

No plug wires on these cars, each plug has it's own coil, possibly one or more are on their way out! Get code's read to be sure.

Update! Found the problem with my car, one of the intercooler hoses underneath the radiator has come adrift, hopefully, a new jubilee clip will solve the problem, fingers crossed that's all it is!

Well that's typical! Great day our at Swedish day, on the way home sudden pop, loud turbo noise, bugger all acceleration, turbo boost gauge all over the shop, but no EML! 90 miles from home! Anyway,...

Get a cold compression test done, some of the 2007 model 2.0 suffered with a problem with the intake valves, this can also cause starting and running issues from cold.

You've probably got a bulb out.

Use a heat gun on a low temperature to soften the glue first, If you don't have a heat gun, use a hairdryer, just don't let the girlfriend/wife see!

Fishing line used like dental floss can sometimes do the trick.

Hi chaps,
Just a quick update on the strut brace, bought a nice solid one from eBay and fitted it to the car the other day, so after putting a few miles on it, I can confirm, that for the little...

Yes, that's the annoying thing about the tiptronic function, it assumes that if you're using the manual mode you must be wanting peak torque all the time, so it downshifts to give you just that! It...

Hi,
That's just the sort of thing I'm looking for but unfortunately I live in the UK and that wheel fits the facelift 9-3, so I'm not certain if it would fit my '04 model (I would also need the...

Hi all,
Does anyone know if the steering wheel from a 9-5 `04 fit into the equivalent 9-3? I have an '04 9-3 Aero auto with the buttons on the steering wheel but like the wheel from the 9-5 with...

In your post, you say that a standard bent 2 1/2 inch exhaust will flow more than a standard bent 3 inch, Sorry, I beg to differ, the 3 inch will always move more gases in a comparable standard bent...

Are you sure a 2 1/2 inch exhaust will flow better than a 3 inch?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if the above model is electronically limited, in know most European vehicles have a voluntary 155mph limit, as the standard car's top speed is advertised at 143mph, I just...

Yeah, stupid me disconnected the battery before trying to read the codes! So I'll have to wait and see if it happens again, if it does, I'll read the codes BEFORE I disconnect the battery and see...

Hi all,
My Aero 2.0T idled roughly this morning and the EML light came on, the car ran fine after the rough start but the EML stayed on. Once I got home I disconnected the battery for a minute or...

Hi all,
Does anyone know if the '03 onwards 9-3 Aero 2.0T is electronically limited? Advertised top speed is 143mph, but most speed limiters kick in at around 155mph, has anyone gone over 143mph...

Hi all,
Does anyone know if the '03 on 9-3 Aero 2.0T has its speed electronically limited?
