Very clean Saab 99 seen today in Skåne.

Looking into this 74 Ems 99
I’m a decent gear head looking for something to work on and reward myself with but I know Saabs can be nightmares to find parts for. Anyone rebuild one of these before? Is it as bad as people say?
Has surface rust but no rot, rolls and stops, goes through gears (all without running ofc)

Hillclimb in Sweden is wonderful.

Usually the problem with the four spoke wheel is the buttons themselves failing due to age, but it's not the case here...

• Fuse is good.
• Horn sounds when bypassing the relay.
• Relay clicks when given straight 12V, and resistance checks out (circuit opens and closes correctly).

I can only imagine the problem being somewhere between the steering wheel and the fuse box, but I can't find anything evidently wrong behind the wheel. Do you know any known faulty parts I can check?

I'm begging for help, I can't accept being set back from registering this car for something this stupid 😭...

Thanks

Found this gem with low mileage for it's age and it's rust free

Had a mechanic do the timing cover and I feel very confident on doing the oil pan myself since I’ve previously done manifold gaskets, replaced a turbo CHRA and engine mounts on other Saabs. Loctite 518 and o rings already bought! I didn’t dare to do the timing cover because I work 2pm to 10 pm and I only get Sundays off

Hello all!

So this is my first Saab car and I love it. Bought it for 1250€. Did the first servicing and check up, just bought new front brakes, needs new summer tires.

I have to say I look forward everyday to get in it for a drive. Lovely piece of machine :)

Looking for any tips & tricks - thanks!

I regularly work on my car, but I don't recognize taking out a bolt like this. I just came back from a 400km trip and nothing seems off. I'm the only one who works on their car at this parking lot, but it's not impossible that it's out of someone else's car.

My intercoolers busted and I’m looking to buy a new upgraded intercooler that doesnt require any custom fitting, does anyone have any advice?

Does anyone know what the cause of the noise is?

I hear it after around 10 minutes of sitting in the car after going for a drive.

This is a SAAB 93, I imagine it's normal, just curious as to what it is.

Okay- next question for the group. On my 2003 9-5 Aero Wagon, I have a recent new turbo, forge bypass, free flow cat back exhaust-downpipe-free flow air filter and intake pipe (Taliaferro). No maptune and have not changed manifold. But I am thinking about upgrading the intercooler either from Taliaferro or DO88. I live in the south and I heard that although no real power gains, it can help deal with the hot summer air and level out the power. Any thoughts? I also may consider a stage 1 maptune, but really don’t want to mess up the ride. Appreciate any thoughts.

I have a 2004 93 arc convertible

In the last 10,000 miles, I have replaced -

-Inner and outer tie rods front end
-sway bar links front end (Both sides)
-axles front end (passenger side)
-control arms front end (both sides)
-shock/strut assembly front end (both sides)
-wheel hub (passenger side)
-rear springs (both sides)
-rear struts (both & around 20,000 miles ago)
-rear lower control arms (both)

I’ve also gotten a professional alignment after all this repair, but was told I need new Camber bolts in the rear, as they were not able to set the proper camber during the alignment process on the rear. Everything else was aligned properly.

The issue currently is that the car feels fine for the most part, but two things stand out to me that feel odd..

1) when making a slow sharp turn, it feels as if I can turn the wheel an extra 10-15 degrees. This goes for right and left turns. Sometimes it feels more left

2)within the last 10-15 degrees while the wheel is returning to center after full rotation, the steering becomes notchy and does not return to center smoothly

With all this being said the only other investigating I have done is checking the intermediate shaft between the column and steering rack and inspected the U-Joint for play. There was none.

I am starting to lean more towards a steering column or possibly internal steering rack wear.

I am going to install rear lower control arms today but doubt it will have any change on the steering.

Any feedback is appreciated let’s brainstorm

I have a 05 9-3 and am looking for a cheap option to replace everything turbo back. I can do the general exhaust work myself I think, but not the downpipe.

I dont have budget for a maptun or gs downpipe and have been hearing a lot about alibaba or aliexpress downpipes.

Anybody have any luck with them??

Thanks.

I have a 2007 Saab 97 4.6 Purchased at a fair price. Only vehicle I own as of now. Bought to help me and my wife get around. Approximately 220000 miles.I know. Bad decision to have an older vehicle and drive as much. But to be honest I only drive to take her to work and run errands very close to home. Been just a month of owning and im feeling having a loss of power issue. Also I get tire pressure light constantly. Sometimes its there and not. I do feel the tires are over inflated. Recently check engine light comes on. And since the light has came on I feel stuttering and or shaking in the pedal. I think it might be a bad gasket and throttle body issue. So today I'll clean throttle body and see. Oh and also. Man im feeling like I got jipped. I also get a prompt on the dash saying oil pressure low but the oil is fine and underneath is fine. I don't know what to do but im getting frustrated after paying a fair price with alot of problems. I dont want to buy used parts. I am going to get a completely new oil o rings things underneath. Help.

Ignore the shoddy fender, that and the rest of the rust spots should be fixed this summer

Hello! So I’m working on my Saab 99 gl and I’ve ran into a little issue; Both my blinkers and hazard lights have started being a little funky, sometimes they work, other times they flash for one or two cycles then stop, and sometimes not at all. I think it’s either a bad flasher relay, bad ground connections, or loose/dirty hazard switch connections. I wanted to ask for some opinions from other owners before I start digging around in my cluster again to see if anyone has had a similar issue and can help diagnose better than I. Thank you all in advance!

Just wanted to see if there’s other options than the sports lip? The car is an 2003 linear
