No point thinking your heating the glow plugs like the old 20-30year method, Saab only heat glow plugs on cranking when fuel go's in, It will EML even if one plug is down.
My tip is to check the cableconnection on the positive battericlamp, the cable tend to loose inside the clamp.Its a standard errorthing that causes people to switch both battteries, alternator on startmotor totally unnecesary.
Tell me if you think I got a good deal, about an hour ago I just purchased a Saab 9-3tid vector sport, it’s an 09 plate, AUTO, sitting on 90k @80k - Full service inc All filters, glow plugs and oil changed. Also had battery and discs and pads replaced at the same time. 86k - Oil change/pil filter replaced New aletrnator fitted last year. Waterpump and timing belt replaced at around 75k miles
starter motor. engine turning to slow to get enough diesel pressure in the rail, high pressure fuel pump driven by cam. common issue check forums. Just done mine and fires in 2 seconds from cold, before It would take ages and some times required a squirt of cold start
@@davidgoddard5532 I ended up putting a switch on the temp sensor, turns it on turns it off, if it wouldn't start flick the switch (turns water temp sensor off) car then goes to a default and turns the glow plugs on full and car would fire every time, I did this for a year after trying to fix it and spending way too much. It's now sold thankfuly, as it turns out a previous owner had swapped the engine, from a 16v 150bhp to the 8v 120bhp and the car just was throwing problem after problem at me, a true lemon, not the cars fault but a ripoff merchant I bought it from. Now have an audi A5 petrol and couldn't be happier with it.
@@hereward1971 That sounds like friend’s 9-3 tdi! He prides himself into being able to solve anything so bought his 07 convertible knowing it had a starting problem. That was after he found the fuel filter was leaking and the moisture sensor was missing. He was sure a new filter would fix drain back but it didn’t! So he’s doing the rounds on all the usual things to make avail. New battery now but has found something is draining that when it’s supposed to be asleep. He’s fitting a recon starter today! I told him to double up on the lead from the starter to the battery and battery to earth as I’ve seen that work. Someone else has changed the key switch as that can get wet if liquid from the cup holder gives it a soak! He still hasn’t replaced the water sensor on the fuel filter but removing it hasn’t stopped the battery drain problem. Good job he only paid £800 for it!! I drove it back from Maidstone to Glos and it went like a train but we didn’t switch her off when refuelling or when we stopped at the services!!! There doesn’t seem to be one thing does there?! I’ll tell him to check the water temp sensor on his plug in code thingy. 😂
@@davidgoddard5532 I threw a lot at it, chasing codes and internet "oh change this its a common problem" in the end I bodged the fix with "a common bodge" and just fooled the car into working LOL It never left me stuck after the "fix" but I had that little confidence in it I never drove it more than 20 miles at a time PMSL

Something is not right. I have a Saab 9-3 TTiD 4 -12 and it starts right up after the first glow. This during periods of -25 C. I usually use my electronic Ctek heater and charger, but this cant be done by my cabin. (500 meter extension cord needed.) So, check your glow plugs, the battery status and also fuel filter, pump and injectors.
I am thinking about getting a 1.9 TTiD, are they good cars? Like acceleration, fuel economy, and also, do you ever have problems starting it? Because I have heard both that they are awful and that they are very good at cold starts
@@mattssonfelix3882 In my opinion, after moving from the TTiD4 to a Volvo D4 2021, I must say that the TTID4 was a very pleasant experiance. Smooth, but most importantly, very fuel effiecent. I mean, very fuel efficient. I often got away with 0,4-0,5L/10km which is very good in my opinion. The Volvo I have today is often closer to 0,7 when on mixed roads. City driving, around 1.0-1,2L/10km and on the Highway 0,8/10km. My SAAB 9-3 was simply great. I miss its engine and driveability.

That car sounds like a right bag of shite. One of many that weren't looked after by their owners. Mine is a 2007 1.9TiD, and it has never let me down, apart from the water pump seizing, but it was almost due to be changed, to be fair. But even on the coldest of days, mine sounds nothing like this one when it starts. This one sounds like a clapped out Ford Transit from the early 90's.

Everyone have Saab 9.3 ( i have Saab 9.3 2007 1.9Tid ) should check the cable connection on the positive battericlamp and the nigative. Its a standard errorthing that causes people to switch both battteries, alternator on startmotor totally unnecesary. the problem is with the cable connection to body car with the screw cause it becomes very dirty and rust than well have bad connection !! ... you just need to clean it and make good connection with( negative cable to body ..just look to the small screw connection with body ?) and the positive connection also ..
The starter is ok, as it is turning and cranking the engine. Could be clogged injectors or a worn cam shaft. But I suspect by the sound of the engine, that it is almost at the end of its life. Sad, because it is not uncommon for these to last 200k miles or more. But they need care and attention, like anything. If you abuse a car, it will die prematurely.
Nice conclusion made from one UA-cam-video. :) Something is not right with this poor vehicle in the clip above. I usually start my TTiD4 in -25 degrees C, and under. Usually preheating it using a electric heater. But, by my Cabin where there is 500 meters to the closest outlet -Some coldstarts are made. Always without any issue. I keep my battery well charged by maintenance charging it a couple of times per year and such. No issues what so ever.
No, they're not. Mine starts fine in winter if the battery is good. And sounds nothing like this one. But I take care of it, and service it regularly. And in 4 years, it has NEVER let me down. It does need a new turbo now though, which I'm gonna do over the next few weeks. Along with another full service.
I have started my 2007 Saab 9-5 Biopower 2.0t in -26 in Lappland here in Sweden. What an absolute load of shit this video is. How badly have you abused this car?

Your car is broken mate. We have -18 and colder every winter. Diesel Saabs starts just fine.
SAAB diesel???? Maybe....Opel or FIAT diesel!!!
Might be fahrenheit, which is about -28 in celcius. Plus this is the GM 1.9CDTi engine.

who starts engine with headlights on?:))) it weakens the battery...there is one good video where the guy starts saab 95 at minus 15. check that out.;)
It users the wattage of the starter plus the headlights. The headlights are a fraction of the starter motor wattage.

He waits too long between the moment when the glowplugs light go off and the moment when he turns the key to start.
