Unfortunately I don't think any competant mechanic would be able to diagnose a problem over text or phone. Eric is quick to text back, but again, looks like you might have to make...

There are plastic rollers in the windows that sound like they have failed. Do a search on you tube from a company called FCP I think they show you how to replace those rollers.

The fuse is a 7.5 amp. Look in your owners manual for the correct one. Pull out for a few minutes and if you can see if you can find the procedure online you'll hear a chime from the car when you get...

OK, so my 2010 9-3 XWD just turned over 40k. She has been pretty relaible to own, but HAS had some failures. I had to replace an oxygen sensor (forget which at this time) front sway bar links, front...

OK guys, here is what I found out for my car. It's a 2010 9-3 XWD NON Aero model. My front discs are 314mm just like the door sill plate says. I ordered some Posi Quiet Ceramic pads from Amazon.com...

Thanks for your speedy reply 9-3 Aero, looks like I'm going to have to take a measurement the next time I take a wheel off. (which i just did for both front and back while replacing tires)

Bumping this thread up because I STILL get conflicting model numbers and brake pad issues. Need some help here from like minded XWD owners.

Does anyone have a pic of this part with the part number? My SAAB dealer became a FIAT dealer and not sure if they are selling parts anymore. Anyone have a dealer with a phone number?

So far I'm still enjoying the car. Not very happy though that I have had a couple of hiccups the last 2 months or so. I went back to selling dealer who still touts themselves as a registered SAAB...

This is GREAT news if and when I decide to change out my sound system. For now though, looks like I'm replacing the rears with a new old stock MB Quart 4 inch.

Since we are all indeed orphans (especially guys like me and Frank who have 2010,2011 or 2012 cars) This thread is an extremely important one. I have been conversing with three indy mechanics two in...

I hope they finally figure this all out, my car now has almost 30k on it and I am still a bit nervous driving around without one.

2010 9-3 xwd. Wife tells me she notices black plastic dangling from right front side. Lay down on the ground and look and notice that the black plastic is actually part of the splash pan that is held...

I bought the socket made especially for the oil filter at Pep Boys. Cost me about 9 bucks if memory serves me right.

Have to plug a great indy shop in Charlotte, NC named THe Swedish Garage, Inc. www.swedishgarage.com While on vacation a few days ago I thought I heard metal on metal rubbing. The owner, Jamie...

Took the fuse out for both front windows, followed procedures and to date, BOTH windows working as designed!

Frank:
I didn't see my name in the documents, do I have to do anything to become a participant in this?

I didn't see ANYTHING close to a 100 hundred page document. I didn't see any names or anything, it's very weird.

I got a new letter today from these attornies and I have NO CLUE how to decipher what the hell it's about. There is a form inside for me to make a claim but no CLEAR instructions as to why and for...

Guys, after a little more digging I found that this problem with my car happens occasionally especially after a service. Unfortunately I haven't had a service except the oil change I did in my...

Guys:
My FIRST hiccup with my baby. Car is a 2010 9-3 XWD. About 2 weeks ago when my wife took me to work, and as I was exiting the car, I went to raise the front passenger window with the auto up...

OK guys according to the info I got here on the site and looking over my door plate and the codes, my front disc's are 314mm and are an "AC". My rears are 292mm and are a "BC". So with this said, who...

Mike and Frank:
Thanks for the speedy reply and for the info , especially from Mike. I wanted to go out and wash and wax the car today after we got a 70 degree plus day here the other...

Why is it so difficult to find the proper sizes of OEM or aftermarket brake pads, rotors and such for our cars? I have found it to be somewhat diffucult to find any info for brakes for these cars on...

GM caused this mess to unfold, and they should be held accountable for 2010-2011 warranties as well. Really, not to sound uninformed here, but how many 2010-2011's were sold even? How much more...
