Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon / Convertible / Combi (Wagon/Estate) / Turbo X / AWD (2003 on) / Amp 2, Sat nav Upgrade

« Last post by Mrqng78 on Today at 03:17:44 AM »

Hi all, it's 2yrs in total since i embarked on this journey of upgrading my stereo system, it's been challenging but with help from you guys it's been better. I have now completed the installation to where i want to be with the stereo, icm3 sat nav position equipment,  dvd player, amp2, amp 1 ehu and front cd changer. All power and fibre optic cables have been laid, tested power, all equipment receiving power, the problem is the fibre optic light, there's a break between EHU and ICM 3, mine has a cd changer in between, but for the life of me i don't understand why the EHU will not pass light to the cd changer to ICM 3 to complete the loop.

Please if anyone has or know someone who has experienced this problem, help!!!! ¡

Regards
Reginald

I had different phones before smart phones, but since I have had smart phones I have had Samsung. I have never had any security issues with them.

I have an iPhone for work and I hate it, It does all the same things, but not quite the in the same way!!!

If you didn't mark it, then I'm not sure there is a fixed position to align to.

The other end with the ground nut is I think the more important end, the wheels themselves are fairly close I think.

Chat with supplier, assemble as you see fit, or get it rebalanced.

I was doing a rebuild with new seals.... it seems that the dynamic balance is  very much the final polish

Correct, I undid compressor bolt to add red locktight, and compressor wheel spun, it is not too tight on the shaft.

I'm a little confused. If the CHRA is already balanced, then both wheels are already in position and dynamically balanced. Or have you dismantled it ?

They are more pricey than normal gas-powered cars but worth it as it require little maintenance. It is highly efficient too. Cons will be the limit of it on long drive. Also, recharging of the battery takes time and you have to find a charging station.

Better to always prefer genuine. I bought a brand new controller too before which is non-genuine. It is good at first but after few days, it is not working anymore all of a sudden. Not recommended.
