I've just added a link for the LED Taillight conversion kit in the description. Available at eSaabParts :) https://www.esaabparts.com/saab/parts/13320958

Just got myself an NG 9-5. I saw this and I was nervous that this would be a “here is all the costly issues you will face” video, but I’m pleased to know that this car is not like that. Yes it will require service but nothing that shouldn’t be done normally. This channel seems helpful. I look forward to my NG 9-5 ownership

Happy New Year 2019 for all SAAB fans.😎

Thank you for this video. I think this car is one of the most beautiful card ever made, and I'm looking for one, to drive sparingly. Your advice is a big help in my search.

For those in the Americas, many of the parts of the 9-5 are shared with the 2010-2016 Buick LaCrosse and the Cadillac.

My dream get away car.

Excellent review 👏 👌

You are great. thanks for help !

Love your tshirt

For 2.8L Engines ,, inspect the wiring harness  in the engine bay. from the front facing the back on the right hand side where the battery is  (drivers side left hand wheel vehicles)  that runs down in between the engine exhaust shield and inner fender.  make sure  its not contacting the exhaust shield as its extreme heat will damage the wiring harness  . make sure the harness has clearance and is secured away from contact, protect the harness with "thermal heat sheaving wrap"  is a suggestion..  the high heat in this area tends to cause the wiring harness plastic sheaving to shrink pulling the harness into contact with the exhaust shield which will  damage the wiring inside if contact is not addressed. as long as people are aware of it . its an easy issue to address.

Thank You i Love Saab"

Nice Very Insightful Video

Hi marcus thanks for the very informative video, the passion for saabs can be heard in your presentation and your only one of many who are more than happy to share your knowledge and experiences so thanks for that. Ive currently got a 9-5 NG TID4 auto however ive been quite unlucky with it over the few years. Mind is saying to replace however heart is not agreeing. Going to spend the christmas break to look into the issues im having and as i say the info you and others have provided on youtube and online will def help. All the best for the new year. Nav

That scene at the beginning from the perspective of behind the car is painfully long

Thank You for this video. Greetings from Poland.

The 1.6T actually has a timing belt instead of a timing chain which I mention in the video.  The cost of replacing a belt compared to a chain is much less. However the 1.6T is not that common. If you spot one o these don't be afraid of buying it because it's a GM engine in there so spare parts are in other brands and models as well and as I mention there is actually a tune for it. For reference http://www.gdmperformance.se/trimsatser/36-saab-9-5-16t-180hk-2010-2012.html it's in swedish though but I think you can find the numbers in there ;-) Thanks to @Tomi Toikka for letting me know that the 1.6T is belt-driven.

Happy Saab holidays

Great.. you made me buy one.. :)
Thanks!

Your voice is very soothing. I have trouble sleeping and I can see your voice relaxing me lol! Just being honest!! Might be getting a 08 9-5 (us)  tmrw .
Wish I could get a newer one like this Beaut though! Nice Vid!  (Subbed btw)

Very helpful video (Y)
