Our project Saab was a neglected Saab 9000 that came to the blog in bad shape. However, the first-hand ownership, the Anniversary features and the 98er build year are very supportive. The Swedish youngtimer is supposed to mature into a classic. His story is told here.
Preparations for winter operation of the Saab 9000 are underway. The winter tires have been ordered, based on the recommendation of the Saab workshop in Frankfurt. In the interior, the textile floor mats give way to robust versions made of rubber. They are very…

The Saab 9000 is to be prepared for the winter. Long-time readers may remember that there was already a “Youngtimer in Winter” experiment on the blog in winter 2016/17. (Read part 1 and part 2)…

About 2 months ago, the 9000 attracted attention with problems. It won't start anymore, the EDU stays black. Troubleshooting does not bring any results on the first attempt, on the second it leads to the ignition lock. Whose…

The 9000, the Anna project, remains. The decision was made more or less by the readers themselves, who advised against selling. No problem, because I had hoped for the result. Only, as soon as the Saab has its ...

Since the 9-5 Aero is fully operational, the 9000 has less and less to do. He's bored, only short trips, he doesn't like that. The more modern car has replaced the older one, that's normal. And now?…

Those who have been following the project for a longer period of time have noticed that there were gimmicks with the engine control unit. Actually, the 9000 Anniversary is a 170 hp turbo. The power is nice, the 260 Nm is sufficient but not really...

As a "daily driver" the 9000 Anniversary is not spared. It has to be able to withstand everything that a modern car has to endure. In plain language: Lantern parking instead of a dry garage, car wash instead of hand washing in the car wash. His status as...
