I need to replace the alternator on a 2003 saab 9-3
I could give you the part number and some information for this alternator if it initially helps.
Part Number: F321S001. (if anyone else knows, please make sure this is correct, just in case. This is for UK cars, so not sure if other countries use the same part number, although I don't think it would be a problem).
Make: Bosch E8 - 14V, 75-140 A

2003 Saab 9-3 ARC. My pressure sensor on the
Search Saab forums for your year and model to get advice on the driver's window. Re the heated seats not turning off -- try spraying some WD40 into the switch and turning on/off several times to clean it. If that doesn't work, you'll need to take out the switch and either repair or replace it.

Saab 9-3 03 slow when exellerating
I assume this is the turbo version. If so, check the bypass valve (diaphragm often develops leaks) and ALL the hoses and connections.

Automatic gearbox warning. Limited performance
always treat a warning message as serious and have it check at an accredited service center
could be that the oil needs replacing, a problem sensor or wiring or clutch/band adjustment
although there are manufacturers that say the oil never needs changing(GM for example), transmission oil suffers from extreme temperatures and loads and these factors cause oxidation of the oil (burning ) that requires the oil to be changed on a regular basis (60,000-100,000 miles or 100,000 klm

I have a 2003 SAAB
The linkage inside the door may have come off, so you will hear a lock/unlock sound but nothing happens, if this is the case the door panel needs to come off to repair it. you need another tech, if there is a code number there is a corresponding symptom listed.

Sounds to me like the ignition switch itself,or the interlock device,might be worn out.Is it a straight shift ??(Sometimes on SAAB's you have to put the vehicle shifter in reverse to enable starting,I believe ??)

Engine light on--exhaust smell in car--just replaced engine
the ac is a gas leakage problem and can be fixed by an accredited ac specialist shop
the exhaust gas smell could be the flex pipe at the exhaust manifold or a exhaust pipe gasket that has failed ( come loose after the engine replacement)
as for the engine lights , it con=mes on from reports from the engine and the transmission so have the fault codes read to find which sensor is reporting a fault
could be that same sensor that reports on the exhaust problem
hard to start is an electronic reporting fault and that will be in the codes as well

Electric window wont stay up
It sounds like you may have a bad switch. It could possibly be removed, cleaned and reassembled/ reinstalled and work fine, otherwise it will have to be replaced.
