2004 93 Engine Stuttering - 5/7/2008 5:46:41 AM    paulpini2008   Posts: 5 Joined: 5/7/2008 Status: offline Hi I hope someone can give me some advice. I have a 2004 9-3 1.9 Diesel Saab. For the last couple of weeks the engine has started to stutter on accelleration. It idles fine and over 2500 RPM it's fine. When you accelerate the engine seems to die, if you dip the clutch and give it some gas it stutters to 2500RPM then reves OK. This is now becomming a real problem because every time i go to pull away i dont know if it is going to stutter or not. ANY HELP OR ADVISE WOULD BE FANTASTIC. Cheers Paul. Post #: 1

Well apparently it's the turbo intercooler, which is going to set me back about £500. Happy days!!   Just another bill to add to my growing total for this car. It must be the most unreliable car i have ever owned, and the most expensive to fix!!     (in reply to paulpini2008) Post #: 7
