Excellent I'm going down tomorrow I hope, £90 seems a bargain.

59k that is super low mileage, any history of the clutch being replaced ? expensive fix on these.

Remap booked in with Karl for Tuesday 7pm he does it all from home. He's only half an hour for me so that's worked out pretty well.

Hopefully they won't remap the wrong Saab which doesn't exist

Very clever

Got this back from Noobtune

Hi,

A remap on its own will take the stock Aero from 210hp and 310nm of torque to 250hp and 370nm of torque.

It costs £90 in person or £95 by post on your ecu (you send me the ecu for which i can give a full how-to on safe removal and refitting). I'm in Long Eaton near Nottingham and do them on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in the week and on Saturdays. Posting is fine pretty much any time though.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you'd like to arrange something.


Karl.

Remaps are usually pointless on non-turbo cars unless they have a lot of mods.

My Saab 9-5 Aero has a noobtune on it. Something silly like 275BHP and 420NM. I am finding it very hard to replace it with anything which isn't in 5 figures. Currently on 145k and bought it with 100K on the clock. Have done all the usual servicing and hasn't let me down. Two cracked ABS rings and a CPS. £40 tops in parts. It is a bit of boat but grips well enough with Goodyear AS3's but is super compfy and can swallow anything. It is a fantastic slip road car if that is a good way to describe it.

I bought a 9-3 Aero and it went bang 2 months later with no compression on a cylinder. A shame really as it was quite a pleasant car to drive otherwise.

I've got a 9-3 Vector 1.9td auto and I unashamedly love it.

It cost me £1500, it's got loads of miles on it, and it's very bland but in a really nice way. It's very comfortable, the boot is massive, it's fairly handsome, and it's fast enough. I honestly really like it.

... you know for sure it was not already mapped ? given wheels

Really love these cars. At those prices, perhaps give one a go one day!
Are these ones basically GM/Opel underneath?

P.S what’s the issue with blakcs wheels?!

P.P.S is the cabrio cover a different colour?
