Thanks for the tips long time Saab guy those are all right on. When you change window rollers put a dab of lube in the roller slide, in the winter spray w40 in the window edge that should help. Saab for Ever.
Do you have link to the bypass valve delete?
Thanks

Can you please provide specifics on the wheels and the lowering springs / struts? Only on front or front and rear?

Take the Saab emblems off, and stick them on a reliable car like a Camry or an Accord.
If you have a V-6, either replace the timing belt every 20k miles, or save up for new heads. By the way, the V-6 valve guides are removable, but have never been available as a service part. Certain Cadillac valve guides can be modified to fit, but it is very expensive to do. Last time I checked, new heads are about $3,000 each. Good luck finding any!
On the older 4 cyl models, make sure that your PCM has been upfitted with a computer that does not have an anti-vibration pad that is contaminated with sulfur that gasses sulfuric acid in hot weather= goodbye PCM! Thanks, Bosch! For several months, our dealer had over a dozen new 9-5's that had been stripped of their PCM's to keep customer cars running. Then, the new replacement parts started failing. Our customers were being stranded on road trips, then having to wait 3-5 days for the back-ordered parts to reach the local dealer.
On 2000 to 2003 9-3 models, the reason that your head-gasket blew is because the Swedish craftsmen at the factory never checked the torque values on the spindles that tightened the head bolts. Always the same end of the head, for some reason. Great cars! I worked at a Saab dealer service Dep't, and we designated an empty office as a "crying-room" for suicidal customers. BILL
Can you please tell me where I can get my ICM 3 modifications for apple carplay am in uk Leicester thanks John
One tip is to do a proactive replacement of the window rollers. If one of them breaks the other one is tries to lift the window and the regulator arm eventually gets bent.
9-5 wagon sport suspension rear camber issue can be fixed with stiffer 9-5 sedan HD springs. Also reduces understeer.
