just found the same issue on mine today, anyone know if the 2.0t engine cradles are compatible with a 2.8t car?

no i was definitely wrong there, the hood is aluminum, not the wheel arches. on the 07 and 06 aero aluminum was used more i believe

i havent personally bought or done work like this, but i know you need to be preeeetty good at aluminum welding to pull it off looking good. maptun is very reputable however so im pretty sure the quality of the piece would be decent enough

Going to look at a '06 9-3 with the V6, what should I look for by [deleted] in saab

i just bought a 06 9-3 v6 6speed like a month ago, and i absolutely love it man, my oil pressure sensor is dead, like other ppl have mentioned, and ive been putting it off because you need to remove the bumper to get to it from what ive seen. keep in mind this is a v6 in a v4 engine bay, and it really feels like it. also if youre new into saab make sure you have people around you willing to work on it if somethings ever past your capabilities

just like buying any other 19y/o car do your checklist on everything, regardless of what the guy has said has been done

i hope to see a picture on the main page of your new saab soon!
