    I'm really struggling to replace my driver side mirror. I've got the right mirror part but it's like in a casing that I'm baffled by. My mechanic is very good but he can't get the the right part or know how to fix it. There are also two wires that appear to be soldered onto the mirror. My car is a standard 2007 9,3, is there any way I can show you photos of my wing mirror and ask for your advice?

    I have an 06 Saab 9-3 1.8t convertible that will crank but not start. It was running fine up until Christmas but then stood for 2 weeks unused, when I tried to start it, it would crank but not start. I have had the AA out to it who said it was the fuel pump, so I changed the fuel pump to no avail. I changed the CPS, also no luck. An electric diagnostic said there was a constant “Alarm not leant” fault and an intermittent “Main relay” error. The car will start with Easy Start sprayed in to the intake, it also started with a direct feed from the battery to the fuel pump. All fuses and relays have been checked. It was running absolutely fine until it refused to start. Can you suggest what it might be? Thanks

    Thanks for this, I have to do the gearbox oil on a 1.2 polo I bought as an emergency car when my old Mazda 323 failed it's MOT. The gearbox is whining a bit too much and all the suggestions online say that the gearbox might not have enough oil in it so a drain and refill is my first attempt to keep the car on the road until I can repair the Mazda.

    I have a 2019 escape so the model before this one but my mass air flow sensor does not budge if I try to turn it. It’s not bolted in and it looks very similar to this one but when I try to twist it, it does not move and it seems as though I will break it.

  • @newfie-dean5803
    @newfie-dean58035 күн бұрын

    I since discovered that there is a small plastic tab on the sensor that you have to lift up on allowing you to turn it. After lifting up on that I was able to turn it 1/4 turn and then after some wiggling and hard pulling it came right out: I think it was stuck in place a little because of the O-ring on it.

    Did this recently, passenger rear came off OK, drivers rear one bolt seized, just like your video. Luckily we had access to some oxy propane, Warmed it up and eventually it came free..... But.... If I'd seen you working magic again cyd, I'd have gone down the rivnut avenue. Well done for a nice engineering solution, to rust, time, and lack of a sealing rubber cover. 👍

    --- I have a Saab 9-3, model year 2003, version 2. When I park the car and leave it for 8-10 hours, it won't start in the morning. All the electronics work (like the radio and lights), but the engine doesn't get power to start. To get the car running, I open the hood and connect a cable from the starter relay to the negative terminal on the battery while the ignition is on. The car then starts immediately. After this, I can start the car normally with the key until I leave it again for several hours, and the problem occurs again. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    I applied some DeOxit 100 to the pads and brushes for extra cleaning. Mine had some good corrosion on one pad. I put off cleaning the ISM for awhile, but the occasional SCL error, become regular errors. Regular errors turned into multiple turns of key to start, loss of cruise control, and even non-functional turn signals. Its only been a couple days since cleaning, but everything is back to normal. Now its the occasional drip of oil and coolant which I've attempted to fix twice and simply live with now. If anyone has suggestions to address a 2.8T passenger side coolant leak down the side of the block let me know. Ive already replaced the water pump and gasket which addressed most of it, but I still get a drip every other day.
