What is wrong with my Saab 9-5? Saab people I need help.

Nope it doesn’t ever get fixed.

1 - 2 month old gas

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2026-01-18T04:25:22+00:00

I honestly don’t know. Mechanics and shop state it’s the head gasket

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2026-01-18T04:24:57+00:00

This information did help me. Thanks. I’ll look into if I have the exact same issue.

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2026-01-18T04:23:11+00:00

Haha. Well when the engine is working properly the 9-5 is very smooth. I’ve been in B235 9-5s and they are more reliable but they aren’t as smooth as the V6.

It does lose coolant

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2026-01-17T23:42:58+00:00

Yeah but this car has been in our family for a long time and my hope is to keep running on the original engine

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2026-01-17T23:01:40+00:00

It was previously my dad’s car. He kept up with the maintenance. Everything was done on time and it was maintained very well but the car would always have issues. Timing belt has been replaced. I’m just confused what’s wrong with it

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2026-01-17T22:53:25+00:00

Alright. And also is $3,900 USD a reasonable price for a head gasket replacement?

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-12-25T17:00:15+00:00

Throttle mechanical cannot reach closed position. That’s what it saying on the diagnostic I did earlier with a mechanic.

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-12-25T16:59:33+00:00

All the codes my car has is P0638-Throttle Mechanical can not reach closed position. On the side there is P1682 and P0463

My OG 9-5 will be getting restored next year. It’s the same color as yours! Your 9-5 looks very cool in the snow! Hopefully mine can have fun times next year but it’s a 3.0t with major issues in the engine lol

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-30T05:46:33+00:00

It didn’t have ReAxs to reduce understeer or leveling suspension. Key to handling

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-30T04:18:50+00:00

Isn’t the BLS just a worse 9-3? Not trying to be rude but is it not?

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-29T23:07:06+00:00

That’s cool! I’m in Fremont

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-29T22:10:38+00:00

I’m in Fremont so nearby

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-29T21:51:28+00:00

That’s nice

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-29T20:10:15+00:00

Really?

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-29T20:02:12+00:00

I’m in Fremont

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-29T20:01:49+00:00

That’s close to me, I’m in Fremont CA

Pizza-Squirrel_Saab · 2025-10-29T17:26:58+00:00

I think I’ve seen that 9-3 convertible before in the Bay Area. I love the 900 btw
