It feels really weird living 15 min away from Maptun here in Örebro Sweden, and then seeing people on the other side of the world enjoying their products.
If you haven't already, better get a couple of trans fluid changes done to freshen the fluid. She will shift better and last longer when the fluid is fresh, especially the 2.0 Trans.
My stock 05 9-3 linear is plenty quick. 189,000 still love it despite CPU problems in cold Wisconsin winters. My mechanic wants me to tune it. Im 46...no need for more speed. I'm a responsible adult.😂
Her fuel gage can be the fuel splash protection in the fuel tank! @autoautopsy Check that first before getting a new pump! It obstructs the floater in the tank.
Stability Control Failure? Yes I had that! The TRW ABS unit has a flawed circuit board that doesn't like extreme heat so the solder cracks and you get lose connections. You can take off the unit, cut it open, and try to fix it yourself. Or you can buy a new ABS module which is beaucoup bucks. The option I chose was to have my ABS Remanufactured. They clean the circuit board, test it, solder out the flaws, and recoat the board. That came with a Lifetime Warranty. Also didn't need a Tech II for that. Cost was about $390 including shipping. Took off ABS in am. Mailed that day. They received, reman'd, and mailed back next day. Got it in return mail and installed it on day 3. 😁 Just be aware the short in the ABS will cause other issues: drained battery, ignition won't engage, A/C cuts off . . . 😢
I recently took my S60 2.4T for a drive, got to a red light and a Porsche Macan S pulled up next to and judging by the sound engaged launch control (possible to go in front of me in my lane). I was like yeah game on and i keept up with him in the rain despite him having more power, probably more torque, AWD and a PDK he barely had a car length on me (as in my front bumper in line with his rear bumper). Maybe he was playing with because is shouldn’t have been able to keep up with a 340Hk PDK boat in my 200Hk manual S60. I’m so looking forward to getting a tune for it, to maybe make the next “race” (if it was a race) a bit more even.
@@AutoAutopsy the thing is that there is a time and a place for everything, it just so happened that there wasn't much traffic, it was a some what "safe" place and i think he wanted to give me a run. I sure enjoyed it, I didn't "win" but I keept up with a much more expensive car.
Hi I get a 2003 Saab 9-3 se convertible, I would like to change the top canvas because it worn out for a new one,but I d like you to refer me to a good saab detailing.Thank you.
Hello friend, I have a Saab from the end of 2006, it is a 18t 2.0 150 hp and I was very interested in reprogramming it with Maptuner the 1st stage and raise it to 210 hp. I am not thinking of putting a high performance air filter on it but I am planning to change the spark plugs and I don't know which ones would be best... the original NGK ones. Would I do the reprogramming myself... is it difficult to do it and is there anything to take into account? (The video explains it very well, but it is just to clear up any doubts... Thanks!!
Enjoy 👍🏼 The video shows it all. Here’s another video on the tuning process, as well as a video on changing spark plugs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fe_KZk6JJfQ.htmlsi=4IqD29o8SLEpZKFq & ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xJyNJzFX2JI.htmlsi=xDiqoG5knTppkeYo
Hi Folks!!! Currently running a Maptun Stage 1 on my 2007 B207R Aero auto with a Maptun panel air filter, and I've had the eSID showing 291bhp ( I forget the torque figure). How accurate do you think this is? Next steps are to get a new stainless steel exhaust, DO88 intercooler ( and radiator whilst the front is off), and then go for a Stage 2 or 3 remap. What sort of bhp and torque figures could I expect? Love the videos...
Yeah, 290 seems high for stage 1 on a 2.0. No hate or anything meant by that! I have heard the eSID doesn’t really read to accurately on tuned cars. My power numbers on my TX are much higher than what the eSID2 reads unfortunately:((
Have you fixed that stability yet? if not, check the wiring to the rear WSSs where it jumps from the body to the suspension arm. Cables broken internally are common here. Never known a yaw module fail - they're just simple accelerometers. What were the codes saying?
@@AutoAutopsy when you have a partially broken wire, you'll get a code for that sensor. The number of garages that replace sensors and then can't work out why they cannot reset the code is off the scale. Applies to anything on the car too - always check wiring integrity.
I have a stage 1 on my 9-5 Arc. Auto transmission. Can I get the sort of exhaust note that you get on the intro of your video or does an auto box tend to not get the burble and pops? What exhaust is on that Saab? Sounded amazing.
That’s a different motor so you’d sound a lot different haha. That car has a krona downpipe, midpipe, and a muffler delete. I would look into krona and maptun. I believe both make full exhaust systems for the 9-5 that should give you the result you’re looking for
I just reviewed the MapTune Stage 4, for my 9-3 2.0T, 2007. 2700 Euro, to include the bigger turbo and Inter-cooler...giving about 285 horsepower. You think its too big for that little 4-cyl?
I got my stage 1 from maptune and the maptunerx but when I try to program the maptunerx with the tune file it doesn't program onto the maptunerx 😅 gotta wait to contact maptun to figure out what going on
i loaned a maptune for my 9-5 took like 30 min to download.but after i had to take the ECU fuse for 3 sec.but the car won't start. did you have to do all of this?
I know the process is different for the 9-5's; unfortunately I have only tuned a couple of them and do not recall the exact process. I would recommend reaching out to maptun
My Saab is throwing a p0171 code. Drives fine but is bogging and losing power only when you really floor it. If you don’t floor it, it drives totally fine. I’m thinking it’s an injector.. what do you think ? Any suggestions?
First thing to do is get a bottle of Fuel Injector Cleaner and add it to you gas tank. If code doesn't go away after injectors are cleaned then suss out what else may be the issue. I was getting a P0089 and P0198, so I got a new Fuel Pressure sensor and then a gas cap. Still had the codes. Ran Fuel Injector Cleaner and after just half a tank burned, the codes have gone away. At least I now have a couple of new parts, but I could have saved some $$ by doing injector cleaner first.🤦♀️
Been watching your video's for a year now after owning 93 v6. Love the content! I've had the stability control issue for a while, what could it be?? Looked on forums but can't seem to find a definitive answer! All the best Otto
Thank you! I’ve also had it on my 2.0 since I got it and have still not gotten around to fixing it. My issue might be because of the clock spring in the CIM
Hey Otto-i have just buyed me an used 9-3/06 and after few weeks,i got masseges about ABS fail and then STC prob-BUT im pretty sure,it,s around a ABS censor or wiring to those or a ABS ring-and the button to could avoid the TSC is not a possible for safety reason of course-so you dont get all power,then the ABS orbit telling about a fail at the Brakes. Dont know about,you also have fail message onto your ABS ? and an Hello from Michael in Denmark and a very happy owner of a Tuned Saab 9-3 for sure and only sometimes those messages shows up and always in combination-then i pull over and turn of the car waiting for 1 minute and then i turn on again--the messages are gone and can set TCS of,if i will.. Buying me soon a Icarsoft Cr pro..
@@michaelyakson9953 Hey Michael! I Hope you manage to get the issue sorted. For me the ABS fail is not coming on, only the ‘stability control contact service’. Thinking it could even be a wheel alignment issue?? Good luck with the ABS friend! They are amazing cars when the are working, can’t stop looking at mine even if it’s a little beat up ahaha All the best Otto
@@0ttoman1997 i,m around the web ,for see about those STC problem...It,s on Uk smiling-you can get more out of reading those than me : ) -found the link on a Danish forum for only Saab,s and only about those TCM no ABS these time... Some also telling about those connection around the steering wheel --loose connections--another had to get an new realhub installed because of some magnetic ring,was broken... Yes it,s a damn nice car to drive,when its not teasing-so many electronic at those Saabs-always had driven Toyota Camry-Carina and Avensis-so time for try something new-so much smoother than Toyota even the seats so much better sitting at...IF you get it fixed Otto-hope you throw something up back-sorry for bad/wrong gramma : - ) Happy Thanksgiving to over there !!
Did a Maptun Stage 1 on my 9-5 (2.3T) a couple months ago, but could feel almost no difference. Is there any way to diagnose whether the tune is actually on?
My guess is that at least one of the check-valves for the tank EVAP system are broken. Very common problem that makes it seem like the tune made no difference. www.saabcentral.com/threads/how-to-fix-the-evap-check-valves-not-the-bolt-mod.660841/
@@TankGoBoom i have a korona downpipe with race cat and a magnaflow mid muffler (welded) if ur intrested? Was only on car for maybe 20 miles... didnt like the sound
If I get a map tuner x for my b207R is the tune only for one car or can I do multiple 9-3s with one handheld ? Or do I have to buy some sort of license for each car/vin
@@AutoAutopsy thank you for ur response and good luck in ur future adventures. Added a new saab myself, 08 areo sportcombi. Takin my total to 4. Keep saabing!
