You may not want to read this but ATS have an offer on at the moment for a half price Air Con recharge - works out at £22.50

I had mine done yesterday, had the same symptoms as you- not as cold as it used to be and increased noise from the AC. Working fine again now.

I know that some people with scoff at using ATS but to honest all they do is hitch the car up to the machine and the leak check, lubrication and refrigerant refill is all done automatically.

As the title really, can anyone advise the best paint match for alloy wheels from the above car?

The car has 17" Aero style wheels.

 Thanks

Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon / Convertible / Combi (Wagon/Estate) / Turbo X / AWD (2003 on) / Re: VIN Decoder

The VIN number on my car seems to be an amalgamation of both of the above versions, it is a model year 2009 but is in the following format :-

YS3FF46S4 91******

Which according to your post 2007 model format would make it a 9-3 Vector Convertible when it is actually a saloon. Also the character for the gearbox type is numerical as in your pre 2007 example, not alphabetical.
