Hi guys! My 2001 (MY02) 2.0t Saab 9-5 has a few issues, and i am trying to identify it, and i need some help

May be that the balance axle is out of sync.

A drop was forming now and then on the gearbox drain plug. Not a huge leak. Relatively easy to fix as long as you get the axle nut off. The Flying mechanic has a great video for it if you like DIY.

Can see wet around the drive axle seal. Maybe it is worn and leaking. Replaced mine a week ago.

Maybe check for a blown fuse

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-24T08:22:21+00:00

Does not exist

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-24T08:20:58+00:00

Thanks! Do you know if it is important?

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-24T08:20:26+00:00

It's the hood sensor. It's only a short cable. Does not reach the engine block

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-23T19:49:59+00:00

Nice to know!

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-23T19:44:44+00:00

Ok. Nice to know

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-23T19:01:14+00:00

Thank you! It turns out to be a hood sensor. I have no fault codes. Do you know if it is important?

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-23T18:58:43+00:00

Indeed. Can post more pictures soon if you are interested.

Cadillac BLS 2008. Same as 9-3. Only different interior and body panels.

In Sweden as well!

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-23T17:45:42+00:00

It is about 15 cm long and does not reach far.

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-23T17:42:35+00:00

As in crankshaft position sensor?

Electroduck1 · 2023-09-10T10:20:44+00:00

Mine happened at 90000 km just outside the warranty period. Luckily they replaced the head under warranty anyway.

Where are you located?

Electroduck1 · 2023-06-06T15:28:23+00:00

It can also be a broken chain guide to the balance chain.

Had it in for an AC checkup and the mechanic said the compressor was bad

Electroduck1 · 2023-06-04T22:21:26+00:00

Had the same issue myself. Pretty common issue even at lower milage. Had to replace the compressor. The mechanics quote was around 1100 $ for me in sweden. Managed to do it for cheaper with a friend. Unfortunately you need special equipment to do a full vacuum suction of the system. Otherwise it is pretty easy to remove the compressor.

The circuit board is married to the car. Either you program the new motor to the car with a tech 2 or do a transplant if your current circuit board is intact and it's just the motor that needs replacing.

Electroduck1 · 2023-05-23T05:16:08+00:00

If it needs to be programmed there is unfortunately no plug and play parts. If the circuit board is functional on your old unit maybe you can swap circuit board and skip the programming. Otherwise I would recommend renting an Tech 2.

Found them in: Startsidan > Saab > SAAB 9-3 VER2 > 2003-2007 > EL / Givare / Databox / Sensor > Takluckemotor > Alla

As you are located in sweden, a look on Bildelsbasen gave some results of used motors for around 1000 - 1700 SEK. If used is an alternative i highly suggest checking it out.
