Subject: Re: Noise in AC and Front suspention


scot, i have a '98 900 SE turbo .... and unfortunately have EXACTLY the same problems..... my Swiss (not known as good mechanics) dealer said that these problems were *ahem* normal. After i made many complaints they installed a modified piece sent by SAAB headquarters to the front struts (dont ask what or where) and the noise although reduced quite a bit is still there. concerning the AC... aside from the famous clunk which changes in loudness due to outside temparature.... i also have a occasional intermittent (every 2-3 minutes) hissing sound when AC is engaged. Still no comments on that one from the dealer aside from it's normal. anyway, otherwise everything else runs great.... love the motor! regards izzo Anders Johansson <sigurdnopsamnet.se> wrote in message news:7l85du$svr$1nopsamcola.tninet.se... > > > I have a 97 900SE Turbo.
