Wulf's help - as linked above - is always great. Here is another tutorial, a detailed step-by-step approach with photos, just the links are outdated. Getting the alarm out by yourself isn't rocket...

If anyone is interested - the culprit was the wheel stalk. The contacts had slowly given out, and though there was no tangible wiggle room, the contacts were weak. We put a used stalk in and Bob's...

:thumbsup: Thank you, Mike, that's very helpful. I found the WIS drawings for the fuel pump (http://saabworld.net/f144/fuel-system-petrol-gasoline-saab-9-5-a-1632/) and will take care of it as soon...

Thanks, I'll take that into consideration, Pbuck1.

Hi everyone,

Our turbo seems to be in hibernation mode - or worse - maybe it is simply the turkey's tryptophan overload :o after Thanksgiving Day?

Our 2003 2.3t Linear station wagon has...

Hi Saabsters,

I was combing around in the forums but couldn't find a proper thread here about my actual problem, so here we go:

When we recently started the car (2003 9-5 2.3t Linear station...

Hi everyone,

Do we have any Saab electronic wizards here? Maybe you have some wise advice for me with this little problem: The rear window wiper on our 2003 9-5 2.3t Linear station wagon doesn't...

It seems genuinesaab.com has some urethane performance mounts for you.

Hi Kenny,

thanks, that's great information. I just replaced the old front struts on a 2003 9-5 Linear 2.3t wagon with Sachs struts. Also check your bushings. Suddenly I am driving a car again and...

Did you ever see a Saabcicle?

For copyright reasons I can link only to this frozen beauty in my neighborhood back in January:
EV Grieve: Saabsicle discovery this morning on East 12th Street

I...

I'd take the Déesse in a snap!

Ok, no photos right now, but I guess my list of (consecutively owned) cars I owned is odd enough to be enjoyed:
1972 Austin 1300, in "Fawlty Towers red". Built like a tank. Did my first valve job...

The 2CV was my very first own car (after my mom's Austin 1300). Gorgeous. If there is any slow food movement in car, that would be it. Would drive it again any day. Cheapest convertible ever (I paid...

I remember driving one orange DAF contraption in the early 80s (before I had a driver's license). Their variomatic let them go as fast backwards as they could go forward. The ingenious Dutch used...

Just came in here some weeks ago, and you helped me a lot here already. As soon as I can contribute or give helpful advice or just my two cents about something I experienced, I will. Thanks again,...

All seems to be ok now, no more smoke, nice pickup, all oil burned out, no more failure codes (knocking on fascia wood). Here are some pics, the first one is the parts nr. of the Aftermarket DIC,...

Yep. I still have the old DIC and I am curious to put it back in to test, but for now, I simply need the car every day to drive with. I'll do it some time later in early winter when I am not so...

Oh my, this one turned into a longer story, but I will give you the abbreviated version:

We got that new DIC in. Nevertheless, the problems continued the next day. Within the next 50 miles, we...

That's great help, Frank and Mike, thanks a lot. I'll report.

Hi Frank,

the more I dive into this, the less I like it. To the defense of the mechanic it has to be said, he didn't bill me $550 for the cassette, but $398, we reach the 566,14 for the part,...

Hi Mike, thanks for your quick answer. I'll go back to the garage on Tuesday morning, but checked the packaging of the new DIC and found that they sold me an aftermarket DIC, and I guess so far...

Hi everybody, maybe you have an idea what could be wrong here: I just bought a 2003 2.3t Linear wagon with nearly 90,000 miles on the clock. The turbo had just been replaced three weeks ago after...

Hi Frank,

thanks so much for the quick and detailed answer.
You wrote: "I like your attention to detail. :thumbsup:" Yep, these meticulous Germans again!
Anyway, thanks for the links, here on...

Hi everybody,

I am brand new in the forum and just want to say hi and thank you so much for all the help I got here already - this forum is a treasure trove and I hope I can contribute something...
