Is it the lock that's stuck or is it the belt that won't retract?
My rear middle lock broke but without the belt attached to it. It is a simple spring mechanism. The middle rear lock is in a unit...

Thanks!
Had it in for yearly inspection today and the only thing that is really urgent is the break line. I'll have that done at the shop.
Also noticed that the right side front spring bearing is...

Hey, long time. Been keeping the wagon out of the cabbage but now I need some advice.

Had it in for service and checkup today and asked them to go over what needs to be done that I can't see.
...

I can change it from the top in about 15 minutes. If you remove the front heat shield, battery and the battery tray/rest plate you will be able to reach it. Then you just need a wrench with the...

so, you swapped speaker elements and the problem is still on the same side?
Not an electrician or anything but when i comes to speakers humming/buzzing I've only seen this happen when cables have...

also, doesn't the thermostat go to full open when it fails as not to risk overheating and instead run cooler than optimal?

I'll dig up some on the dic's I've found. As said above, a lot of the internet no-names are prime Chinesium and'll lack important features such as longevity and knocking sensors...

The DIC I got is a second hand. From a sideswiped low miler.
A non OEM DIC will cost US$190. However, the one I've found is from what looks to be a former OEM factory that has gone off-license....

So the plugs were toast and the cassette was too, thing is that the fuel pump crapped out completely as I changed. It was still buzzing but like so many young emos it was all broken inside.

It's...

Thanks guys.
Generalist checked the codes but anyone who's worked on cars in Sweden for 10+ years has some saab knowledge. 😁 Saabs are far from rare over here.
Cps change did nothing apart from...

Injector cleaner was used 2 months ago.
Pump sounds fine, fuel is getting to the engine.
Fuel filter changed 3 months ago.
2.0 LPT
Codes were read and told that the cassette and/or plugs were at...

Sorry, I'll reply to my own thread again out of frustration.

So, plugs and cassette changed. Almost took, then the tachometer flatlined.

Cps... again? Second time on this car in 2 years. Gah!...

Drove it to a guy and had the codes read. Plugs or cassette need to be changed. Going for both...

It' getting fuel. No issues starting now. It wasn't in limp mode tho.

It 'feels' like it's not getting enough fuel. It has close to no power on low revs. Get it to 3500-4000 and it's ok. Almost...

Thanks! Tonight I'll start with the throttle. Then visually inspect the casette. After that, fuse #19 gets pulled and the tube. It didn't even occur to me that it might be the pressure regulator... ...

Wagon is acting up and I've got a bad feeling.

It does start but throttle is unresponsive and seems disconnected. Runs lumpy, stuttering. Check engine yellow blinking.
Sid is borked, can't read...

The alarm on a 2000 9-5 should have a siren/box and not be connected to the horn. Located infront of the driverside wheel, behind the wheel well lining. Had the batteries go flat in mine and it...

Yeah, my thought as well.
If it starts and then dies, check if it's in limp home.
If it wont start at all (but cranks as usual) or only when cold, might be the sensor.

Does it start at all now?

Could it be the cps? Easy and cheap thing to change.
Mine always turned over and never went black, but similar to your case it began with ok starts when cold and never when hot/warm. Then it refused...

With the limited knowledge I have I'd say it seems it may have almost gone into "limp home" mode. My wagon did this a few weeks ago after wife stalled it pretty violently.

It's at least easy to...

:) Then expect it to smoke a while after the problem has been solved. Seems he had a whole lot of oil in the exhaust parts.

So, when you say the cap was lose I take it it was still on but not tight. Might want to check the oil filter.
My very uneducated guess is that air will be sucked in. Depending on where you live it...

Here is a youtube video to help you find it and perhaps do the swap as well.

Sounds like the cps. Similar to what happened to one of mine.
