The axles are not hard. I have done in 2 times in my garage. I put new AT trans seals in, that was the most difficult part. Just take your time and drain the the trans fluid first. I didn't on my...

I just did my 06 last month. The base lifts up like the older cars. You need to make sure you lift the plastic that the rubber ring is attached to, otherwise you pull off the rubber ring and it is...

I just used the guts from a Fog Light kit my son bought. He had the wiring, just needed the lights, so everything else was left over. It has a relay to turn the lights on, I tied into the wire that...

No, the inner were not for high beam. (they were for the 9000). They are for Flash to Pass with Xenon lights. Some people (me included) made a mod at the headlight relay to turn on the inner...

The inner halogen bulbs on the xenon systems are for flash to pass because the xenon's are useless for flashing. I missed that feature when my 03 aero was totalled and replaced with an 06. The inner...

I have it and like it, so does my wife with her car. Every year when it expires, they call for me to update the subscription and tell them I will not be renewing due to cost. They cut the deal in...

No. I have 2 sets of factory bars for a 9-5. Make me an offer and I could be persuaded to sell.

Here's one of them: https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/9318/Oil-Trap-Hose-5955919/

Could not find the other one. You could use some sort of sealant to keep it in place. If you have upull place...

When I got this car, the valve cover leaked, the oil pressure sender leaked, the bottom of the oil trap leaked. I got everything buttoned up and it's fine. I dropped mine just because I wanted to...

Top pic is what it looked like coming off the car, bottom after being cleaned up.

110K, no service history. Thought I'd drop the pan and get the oil pressure switch changed out while I was at it.
My first time, it was not hard, just time consuming. I followed Wulf's instructions....

Very poor. It was glued and zip tied together underneath. It was in 3 pieces.

Hey Aeronaut (love your name) I also love what you did the chrome trim in front. I was thinking of doing the same but with a gunmetal, tone down the chrome a bit.

Sure, happy for to use the pic.

And OH, my transmission does have a dipstick. Another oddity about this particular car. But I'm glad it does, because the transmission flush (4x) was the first...

I like it. I like the newer style dash and the color combo inside with the Parchment sport seats. Love having XM built in. I really like the newer front end styling, was not a fan of the new tail...

My 03 Aero was hit and totaled this past July when it was it in the parking lot by a WWII veteran with a health issure.

I purchased an 06 9-5 to replace it. The disappointing thing about losing...

After picking up another trim ring and the local boneyard, I see my problem. When I removed the rubber trim ring, it actually came off the hard plastic frame it is mounted to. There was no way I was...

What is the trick to getting the rubber trim ring back on? I can't get the thing to seat back in.

TIA

Found an 06 9-5 in Arbor Green Metallic, 114K, to replace my Aero. A couple thoughts, I really like the new front end design, not so much the rear, but it's growing on me. No more flash to pass, it...

Yes is was totalled. I got more than I expected but not as much as I thought I should get. I have a line on a replacement. 06 9-5 2.3T. Do we like it, or not? Is it not the same as my Aero minus...

My 03 Aero was parked at work. The Honda if front of it was hit by an f-150 driven by a 91yo WWII vet who had some sort of "event". He had no recollection of what he had just done. He pushed the...

Thanks Wulf! That helps alot.

I did get a chance to talk to my indy mech., a Cert. Saab tech. this morning He said the 06 and 07,s were the finest examples of the 9-5. He said they had all the...

I have an 03 Aero. Going to look at an 07 with 36k (yes, that's right...36k)

I can't find any info on models for 2007. I have no idea waht it is. Did they have the 3 trim levels? What are they?...

Side note on Fluid: Any Toyota dealer has Mobil 3309 under their name Toyota Type T-IV. Bought a case yesterday at my local Toyota dealer. $70 for 12 qts.

The Toyota Type IV AT Fluid IS Mobil 3309. Any Toyota dealer will have it on hand and it's cheaper than buying it branded as Mobil 3309.( I paid just under $50 for a case a couple months ago) Just...
