I purchased a 2006 9-3 Aero just over 2 years ago with 28k miles on it. Since then, I have put over 50k miles on it and really haven't done anything except regular oil changes. I am an aircraft mechanic and would like to do the majority of the maintenance myself, even if it means buying a few specialized tools. Does anyone have a recommended maintenance schedule for this model? The owners manual spells out how often the maintenance events should take place, but doesn't list what each one includes. If no one has an actual schedule, can anyone make some recommendations as to what I should do to catch up over the next couple of months. Other than the junk GM tie rod ends, everything else seems to be in great shape. Thanks.

 

I could really use the help too. This is work that I would like to perform as well, just can't seem to find anything. I have a 2007 SportCombi Aero with 65,000 miles.

 

Can't quite figure out if you are being sarcastic or not. We are actually asking real technicians if this is something that is possible to learn as we enjoy working on vehicles and believe that there are some things we might be able to learn.
Are you actually saying that we should "hope" our cars work after we perform maintenance on them? Are you a Saab specialist? Have you ever made a useful and valid post on this site?
