A long-overdue return to the world of Saab!

[Fallon]

Hi all,

after several years in the motoring wilderness, I've returned to my one true love: Saab!

I picked up a very clean and lovely 2011 93-t Linear convertible yesterday.... and it is lovely, with one small exception: the air con doesn't seem to be working, and I'm not sure it's simply a case of needing a re-gas. None of the lights around the dial are on, so wondering whether this *could* be an electrical issue?

Does anyone have similar experience or thoughts?

Also, whilst writing, a recommendation for great garage in Kent (Sevenoaks/Dartford area) who'll take good care of the car would be very much appreciated.

Cheers, chaps.

Hello!

Do you get any air at all, i.e. is the cabin fan working?

Congratulations. How about Neo Brothers? They should be under an hour from there

I recently bought a manual 9-5 turbo edition 2.3t and the air con was not cold at all but the compressor was just about cutting in,
I was going to get it re gassed by the local f1 centre for £51 with a discount voucher
But they didnt have anyone at my local place qualified, I did offer to do It myself for half price as I have the ticket but they didn’t fancy it
So got it done elsewhere but the f1 prices for ac are very reasonable you’d struggle to get it cheaper imo as the gas has now gone through the roof in price,
Shameless picture of my new Saab

That Dame Edna 9-5 looks SO much better without chrome headlight surrounds!

Hi all, apologies for late response!

I had the air con re-gassed and it started working immediately with no issues since.

Really enjoying the car and will definitely be giving Neo Bros. a buzz when I have need of any new 'accoutrements'!

I've found a great little garage in Sidcup (Neves) who sorted out the air con, installed a new battery and did the MoT.
