Zip ties and JB Weld. The only thing missing is some flex seal/tape. 😉
Spray foam? 😂

The empty fuses will be for options it does not have, or for the Diesel version cars. Paul @ The SAAB Clinic.
There is a kit for those Saab to prevent death wobble. It secures the steering rack to the firewall

It's as if I've tuned into an episode of Watch Rainman Go...
😂😂
I was a Saab service advisor for a couple years. Most owners took very good care of their vehicles. They last forever with proper maintenance. They are VERY quirky!!!
high speed death wobble? isn't that what your ford truck was doing?
Are you suggesting it's the nut behind the wheel?
Yeah, the old one, it's always something in the steering 😬
@7:18 Gabe again with the comedic genius “Nailed It”
Loving the slightly early video drops!😁
Looks great underneath!! For love of god, please rustroof the rear subframe and front subframe!!! Those rust something bad due to GM cheaping out and it's extremtly hard to find a replacement!
This way next owner won't need to replace it
You have the dreaded oil level sender O-ring leak. Not a fun job, but can be done with some dexterity. You can push the connector into the oil pan (retained with wire, of course) and swap the O-ring *inside* the oil pan. Like I said, not fun. Let me know if you want me to mail you one of the O-rings, I have several extras.
I've done this myself, there's a good guide for this on SaabCentral. It's finicky but WAY WAY easier than dropping the pan.
Love love love my ‘02 9-3 SE Convertible!’
Owned a 2004 9-3 Linear 5 speed and a 9-3 Arc convertible 6 speed. Both 2.0 turbos. Loved them!
Less problems = less content
That JB Weld fix was something
They are really good cars, if you can get by some of their quirks. A friend of mine’s Dad bought one new and then my friend inherited it, still has it to this day with around 250,000km’s on it and he loves it.
I do genuinely love Saabs
The paint flaking off the bump shows it was red underneath the bumper was replaced. I bet it was in a front end accident on the driver side messing up the wheel alignment and cracking the transmission case.
I can go to bed early tonight😂
Mac and cheese noise? LOL
You're killing me with these early drops, Smalls!😂
I think he tried to adjust for him being in Eastern time but inadvertently adjusted the wrong way. Got me too!
I had some Saab 900s and 95s and had similar steering/suspension symptoms. The problem turned out to be lower control arm bushings.
Wouldn't it make more sense to check the fuse panel diagram to find which one is for the radio and DIC?
Saab people are pathological about maintenance. Even when they get old. I had a nearly 200k 9-3 Aero like this and it got lots of love.
that wobble you describe can also be the engine bay mounted U-joint from the steering assembly, its a 13mm bolt and you can reach it via the driver side front side wheel arch, you do need 2 extentions probably to reach it, tighten that nut up abit then you'll loose that dead feeling it would have if you drive straight
That trunk wiring looks like a wire fire 🔥 waiting to happen 😂 dat car is sure a fancy sun a bit*h🤣
JB Weld fixed a rather large hole in a rusty oil pan on my friend's Taurus. She drove it 3 more years without any issue, after running it out of oil from the initial leak. Patch was still holding strong!
If some JB Weld works, more JB Weld works better! Clean it off and add more! 😅
I worked for a very large rental car company over 20 years ago. We had these Saab's. Very sporty..but unreliable. Many times we had to rescue customers stranded somewhere in Southern California. Fortunately for my company these Saab's where on a lease/purchase arraignment. So after battling these cars for six months we were able to cancel the lease and gave them back to Saab.
JR you're all over the place with these drop times!
Hopefully back to normal with the next one! 💯
the steering wrack gear is missing a tooth. Its not the wrack, but from the steering wheel connection to the wrack
Looks like you got a pretty well sorted Saab. It looks like that car was loved and well cared for.
I'm not done with the video BUT. Saab used a fiber optic wiring system that the radio is tied into. Most people don't know how to properly install after market stereos in the 9-3SS. There is tons of information on that system online.
I love saabs they're just so weird
These are not really Saab though, the systems are all GM. Inc the EcoTec engine.
I bought a 1967 Saab when I was in high school, for 25$ and it had a 3 cylinder two cycle engine. Never got it running but definitely was the weirdest car I ever saw.
They sure built quirky ideas 💯
@@WatchJRGo they did. I'm thinking of buying a 9-5 aero in the crazy baby poop green spec. I keep seeing one at a local dealer and I have an urge.
I wish Saab still made cars.
Unfortunately every ng9-3 seems to have its quirk caused by a bad owner, enjoy it though! I wanna see more people doing Saab content! Also, If you want a spicy tune I’ve got some reputable contacts haha
If the radio doesn’t turn on and it’s an 06 below it’s the amp 1 under the seat if it gets wet no turn signal chimes either it’s very hit or miss
OBSERVATION..i wish Saab was still around. GM ruined Saab. Saabs were great cars but you needed to treat it right and stay up on the maintenance
Absolutely on the money. Nothing is as comfy..
Nothing is a durable as a pre GM saab
I work at what I imagine is one of the last surviving primarily Saab shops. GM propped up Saab for years. Interesting cars but management unable to build to a price point.
@@CarlosSantos-ln7xe GM era saabs were not in the same league as pre GM.
Starved of investment...priced like a mercedes...but gm quality.
It was a sad end to a great company.
GM still not doing great either are they
I know it is still a long way to go, but front bumper lip is from basic model, this is not aero. Aero is supposed to go all around the car with the same sort of lines as the sideskirts and rear bumber. By the look of it was replaced at some point.
Pretty sure I mentioned the common issue with firewall cracks in your previous video. There is a kit to fix it.
thats for the 1st gen 9³s, not the second gen like JR has.
man i need that icm 2 or someone need to make a touchscreen radio kit for the 03-07 saabs 93
did you guys check to see if the front springs are broken? both of my 93s I had that issue
Those are just giant single piston calipers, they're the same that i put on my volvo C30 and are also the same one that come stock on the mazdaspeed 3
Fiber optic amplifer under the driver seat gets wet and fails and the radio stops. My ex had a 2006 9-3 and that was the issue.
Yep, mine too. I think I still have a dead one in the garage
You have to buy new tires before the alignment, or else the the alignment will not be correct. Impossible to get a correct alignment with tires that have wearing on the sides.
Decent car considering the mileage!
Did JR not get Gabes Boomhauer impersonation, or was he just annoyed? LOL
I had a friend with a Saab, until it blew a spark plug out of the head, and there was also a fuse on the back of the radio.
Red speaker wire for ground?
Never heard of her.
Thank you.
As a Saab lover from Sweden i must say that exhaust isnt original at all! The muffler original in the middle is twice the length of what you have! ;)
All Saabs try to fly away like their jet cousins
MEXICO, here we come!
Good Evening John Ross
Hey Douglas! 🍻
Am I the only one who is reminded of the Red Green show?
Wait...it's before midnight and a drop JR vid 🤔
What’s the link to the watchjrgo discord😎
You are really early tonight
EST for once more night 😂
It’s almost like they used a Ford truck front end.😜
Brake Clean and more JB? 😕
no radio? sounds like a job for ATOTO
What's up, coming to Chicago soon?
How about a 03 NB Miata?
I thought it was called JR Weld…..
JB for the win
My wife and I bought an 07 9-3 aero 2.8v6 turbo for 1500 cash no crank no start after I gave him the money I smacked the abs unit and it fired up and drove away. Yes 3rd gear is sick from 80 to 140 was insanely fast. Deer 🦌 took it out at 60 had full coverage but insurance totaled it out we were both sadden to see it go
Fix those headlights.
It's name isn't Christine is it...
Dang strange time again!!
I can't do time math right now 😂
@@WatchJRGoI suspected that was what happened.
What are you doing with that focus you got for pretty much free
Fixing it soon I hope 😳
Dude are you still selling that downpipe that came with the car?
Yeah, it's ready to go, I meant to send a message back to someone but it got lost 😞
Saab😮
Swedish cars are really cool….you should pick up a Sonett, or a 1980 900…That is a cool Chevy Malibu…I don’t think it’s Saab if GM owns them…GM bought Saab in 2000.
Why do tire wear bars not use the lowest common denominator?
6/32 would be 3/16 in maths class.
All I learned from this video is 13 😂😂😂😂😂
You need a set of 4 tires cheapo
Parking brake is on the front wheels for that car.
LOL So you say you yank a fuse when you bought it so why not leave it alone until you get it to your shop
The giant one to the aftermarket amp on it's own battery cable? Doesn't really matter when you pull it 🍻

Hey
🥈 yo PSU!

Yo
🥇 boom!
Close to 1st?
🥉 very!
Bots! Bots everywhere!
Sup , gang
You got ripped off compared to Audi
This car is infinitely times better than an Audi a4 you clearly don’t know anything about them
Isn't it expensive to get Saab parts because they are out of business?
Not at all, brand new parts are cheap and plentiful
I like people thinking that tho, keeps them cheap. Nobody knows how much power these can make with very little money haha
The Audi was better and I'm not an Audi fan
The Audi is better than an Awd turbo v6 sport sedan… you sure??
@@elianodie9088 positive
@@earlscheib7754 didn’t know your Audi turbo 4 cyl makes 330hp and 400 Ib/ft with a simple ecu remap like this Saab. Mod for mod these cars are far superior, even stock for stock lol
@@earlscheib7754 Bigger turbo, intercooler, fuel pump, injectors your looking at nearly 500 awhp without having to touch internals. Can’t say the same for the 2.0t lol
56th!
Super Early !
Early gang 🤙
Without watching the video, only the double intro, I absolutely support this cars bad behavior. Why do you try to act like a child still? You are grown, and it's really creepy how you still try so hard to do little boy things man!
Yo
Yo yo! 🍻
