    I just got myself a one owner 2010 9-5 this past week. I’m glad to know it’s not so much as a money pit some people keep telling me it will be. If you take care of it, keep it serviced, you will prosper

      Raceraddictted Plays I would disagree. My Saab 9-5 has been average in cost such as oil change, etc. no issues at all and I’m at 110,000 miles

    Perfect for You. Got some problems with rear diff in 2012, on turbox with auto and 40-50k miles. But just oil/filter service and runs good till sell @70k miles. Don't like keep him longer. My 1999 Griffin with coilovers, Porsche brakes, maptun wheel its just much better for me.

    What a great deal! Looking forward to more NG9-5 videos :) I think you should do a seat heat replacement video. Get back to original if you don't like the switch :-D . I think the quality of the OEM seat pads has improved. Trunk button, I don't have that in the TurboX either, that's a 2008, although it's a wagon, maybe it's different in the Saloon?

    • @SaabDr
      @SaabDr  6 років тому

      The saloon/sedan has a button on the driver's door card. I our 08 Combi has one there as well. Maybe that's an EU vs US Spec car thing?

    • @Mangotrond
      @Mangotrond 6 років тому

      Yes. A heated seat repair will be well received i think.
      A lot of people have trouble with these and would probably like a tutorial on changing it.
      Also, if you are putting it back to original state, the plastic cover on the side of the seat is REALLY cheap.
      I just bought one for mine.
      I think on the 9-3, the boot lock button on the door is only in 2003 model. just like the hidden headlight washers.

    • @SaabDr
      @SaabDr  6 років тому +1

      I know that our 2010 has a trunk (boot) release on the driver's door, however it could be because I have US spec cars. And my plan is to put it back to stock, I truly dislike aftermarket electronics.

      @@SaabDr Awesome.
      I had to check the EPC, and you are right.
      It seems that all US/CA 9-3s had the button, but only the 03 SS and 06-07 SC had the button in Europe.

    One thing to check on any NG 9-5 with a 2.8 v6 is the wiring harness that runs down between turbo/exhaust and the engine compartment left fender well , inspect it for heat damage ,, we found in some cases the high temps in that area would cause the split plastic wiring harness protector covering the harness to shrink pulling the harness out of position and too close to the exhaust if you don't address the issue it will then melt the inner harness wiring anchor the wiring harness back in position we cover the harness with insulated heat protection tape wrap.

    I'm still baffled by that price. It's just unreal for me...
    I know there is a huge difference in taxes and such from US to Norway, but still.
    The cheapest NG9-5 in Norway at the time is a medium+ equipped, silver 160hp diesel Vector for 22K USD
    A Turbo6 will run you $50K at least.
    You are lucky to have such a awesome car for a silly price like that :P

    • @SaabDr

      I've been doing research to find cross compatible parts as I need them. There really isn't a database other than taking the Saab PN and googling it with the term GM in the search instead of Saab. Thars worked for some stuff, the rest has been trial and error and research.
