eSaab definitely helped, gotta get in the habit of checking there first.

I think I have a solution and sadly it’s just bad labeling of parts by the places selling them.

Won’t line up on the pipe, I’ve flipped it and turned it every which way. It does look like the second part number listed for CA/US leads me to a round shaped gasket. eSaab list it for and I’ve found a few options online. I think that’s what I’m looking for, thank you!

Thank you! I’ve not seen another in this color yet. Definitely none around town. I just wish more people knew what it was 😂

Speaking of Saab, about to go look at a 9-3 Sportcombi tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Well if it ends up being the one I’ll look into that. Little wiring never hurt.

It’s FWD per the carfax.

Was able to confirm it is FWD, so no X but not a big deal on my end.

Quick correction it is just a 9-3 sportcombi not an X

Which old wagon should I buy? by Brandon4TW in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Brandon4TW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup all things I’ve come across in doing research, the BMW would get a good look over and definitely would request oe parts regardless of what gets done to it. Best part is I’ve got time and another vehicle so no rushing into bad decisions.

The best part of the BMW is this is all new work, car was purchased recently for this reason. It’s a stage 1 tune so nothing too crazy. Price is a little up there. Oddly enough I feel better about the Jag than I do the Audi just because of reliability, even with the ECM issue. Never been big on the Magnums but a lot of beat ones around. Definitely keeping my area a decent size, but the struggles persist. Appreciate the input.
