93 tid 2.2

Fuses are generic products for all cars. Saabs are very durable and you will find many posters here who enjoy running Saabs that are over 10 years old. If a car has been parked outside in the damp UK for over 10 years, some occasional oxidation of fuse contacts is perhaps not surprising, but it is not a big problem at all.

The 2.2 tid comes in 115bhp and 125 bhp. This diesel was not the most refined in the industry, hence it's being replaced by a superior 1.9 tid. But see it it matters.

I own a '98 tid saab since 2002 and I am very happy about this car. A well known "problem" (but it is not a real problem) is the noise from the motor. The car was first build for a petrol engine so it is not well acoustic isolated for a diesel, but i don't really care about it. The only problem i had, and i had it 3 weeks ago, was about the climate control. I found the solution on the SaabNet forum and there i discovered that every saab with automatic climate control can have this problem or a similar one. With automatic clima the car has got a small black box for heater fan speed control. Sometimes this box have a failure and makes the fan run crazy or always on with key turned off too. In my caseit ran crazy but it was only oxidation inside the box. After cleaning it runs well again. The car has got good performance with cheap fuel usage. My saab dealer said to me that the firts 115 hp motor have no problems and make a lot of km but the 125 hp had some more problems. I found this interesting article about the tid saab.
