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

Lots of other signs to: jerky throttle response, lower exhaust note, crackling from the exhaust as its so hot and the smoke.
Mine regens a lot and often it fails to finish, never got a warning light or anything though.

Hi.
I had the upgrade done for the £9.99 but they said my car had the latest software version already so didn't need to do anything. Interestingly its a 2005 1.9 150 vector sport SW which has never run properly. I've not knowingly had the software updated whilst i've owned the car for 2 years and the work done on it (£3000 worth) has been done by independent specialists not main dealer I don't know if the indy have the tis2web??

Saabman, yes a couple of weeks ago I had the battery off for half a day to try and cure another issue but this hadn't fixed the service counter.
Ambisaab, yes I wondered this so had the date wrong at 2014 for a while but it still didn't start counting down.
Anyway never mind I can certainly live without the counter.

On another note - I have today proved why all the audio cuts out now and again. Had some wet house bricks in the car all day and windows had steamed up with condensation, and the audio was dead - no stereo, no SID etc. Must be the amp under passenger seat must be dodegy in humid conditions as has also done it after i've jet washed the car sometimes.

With this car rather than a days to service would be better to have a days since the last problem counter - would be an achievement to get it into double figures!

Thanks...

Hi, first post on this new site.

Not the biggest issue in the world but for a couple of months now the days to service is not counting down - its been stuck at 720days since I last reset it. The Oil quality % is falling as expected. I've tried advancing the year to 2014 to reset again but when I've done the date change I don't get 'due for service' up or the reset service option (I have in the past when I've reset it previously).

Anyone know why this could be? Thanks.
