Saab parts reviews

I'd want to replace those if it were my car as the cracking at the edges indicates deep rooted structural corrosion.

The car started to misfire at boost so I swapped plugs to NGK PFR6H-10 and everything is good now.

Don't use Bosch sparksticks.

Slotted and drilled are nice, I own 3 9-3 Aeros v6 and is very hard do stop them, Akebono brakes and Slotted/drilled rotors are cost/effective for me. I definitely recommend it.

I noticed a massive difference switching from 0w-30 to Mobil 1 FS 5w-40 in my NG 93. Engine sounded better, burned WAY less oil, and no noticeable fuel economy or power difference. I also used Ceratec a few times and that made it feel smoother.

First oil change after filling with T-6 on my 2002 Saab 9-3 (that didn't have a kit on it) I bought with 130k miles on it was really black, almost a bit sludgy. Next few oil changes quickly got better as the detergent broke down sludge in the top end and cleaned the motor up.

Ran quieter on 5-40 heavy duty diesel Mobil 1

Felt more powerful, but that may have been a perception from quieter and smoother power. Others on Saabnet reported the same.

I've been running Denso Iridium on 7 Saabs for years.. both 9.3 V6 and 9.5 2.3l... never an issue on any after 100s of thousand of miles.

Liqui Moly is the one that has some sort of scientific backing for it; During WW2 it was found that adding Molybdenum to oil significantly reduced engine damage in aircraft engines that had experienced oil loss in combat situations but been landed safely. I am currently trialling it in my 27y/o Saab and can report a reduction in engine noise and slightly smoother revving.

Typical issues (my car had all of these save the throttle body): -Dampers are normally done by 80k miles -Front lower control arm bushings tear and fail

In my experience they're pretty bad. I had to replace my stock headlights '03 9-3(because all the clips that held the low beams where broken off) I went from barley being able to see at night to still not really being able to see at night. Another problem was the TYCs were missing a piece at the bottom so there was a pretty big panel gap between the bumper and light. The one good thing about them was the headlights themselves looked great.

Edit: As a broke HS student I put weather stripping between the panel gap, and that made it look pretty good. This was 6 years ago they might have improved, but I kinda doubt it
