  Spoke to the owner again today. Will meet up with him to develop something for all us Saabers! I will try to meet him before we meet on Saurday.
  
  He definitely has the Tech2. Have not seen it but can tell. He can also knows quite a bit about "juices".
  
  Very knowledgeable about SAAB cars. He suggested the fix for Saabster, yes? When TE have no clue.
  
  Very exciting!!

  Hi Guys,
  
  My 9-3's steering is giving me a very slight feedback like a ticking sensation when I doing parking.....
  
  I had this before and TE tightened up some screws and it was okay until now... Apparently, TE confirmed that it has nothing to do with the steering column.... whether what could be the cause???
  
  Pls enlighten me

  Why don't you ask him to come along too and meet us!!
  Maybe that way both sides can benefit!
  
  Just a thought

  You guys don't mind? If not, I will ask him.
  
  Ranchu, I will ask the guy for you. Get a second opinion.

  My front suspension makes weird popping sounds too, when I park. Sometimes rear suspension makes the same sounds when I change from left lock to right at parking speeds. Like something is loose...

  On some mornings, a slight "crunch" from the rear suspension or brakes (or parking brake) when moving off. 93SS 2.0t 04 model.

  Hi t-r-s
  
  I understand that the ABS does a very brief "self test" when you move off which is probably what's causing the sound. It's more obvious if you're stepping on the brake when you move off. (Edit: you can feel a brief vibration through the pedal when it happens)

  Hmmm, didn't know about the above. Will try tomorrow morning and see what happens.

  Hi t-r-s! Hope you have many miles of happy motoring in your 9-3. Read somewhere that they are actually good for 200,000Km before the engine needs an overhaul!
  
  Is this Brian the one who runs a workshop in the Ubi Industrial area? Eurasian guy?
