Main dealer is your best option here, ie they will cut you a genuine key and the will also have to programme the security system for the "new" key and it's code! Sorry,,,, Good luck

sounds like the ignition is worn out time to take the car to a lock smith rather than the dealer have then pull the ignition and file the pins if required and re key if required lock smith will charge you 75 bucks a dealer will charge you 250 dam dealerss will never learn

You already know the answer to that right?

You may need to remove the ignition housing assembly to find out whats wrong inside. There are a series of small gears which connect the ignition barrel to the ignition switch & also operate the reverse gear lock mechanism. You'll need a special 3 pronged tool to remove the assembly - available from SAAB dealers.

The vent actuators are vacuum controlled on this model. Do you hear a hissing sound when you turn the control knob? If not, then you'll need to check the pipe or hose connections. Start with the vacuum reservoir bottle on the right hand wing just in front of the door. Ther'll be a hose from the inlet manifold to the bottle, make sure that's connected & air tight. The other pipe from the bottle goes to the heater controls. Has the radio been removed or any work done in that area? If all appears fine, remove the radio & make sure the large white, multi-hosed connector is fitted securely to the control switch & all the pipes are connected to it.
Good luck, let me know if you need any further help.

The serpentine belt routing should be labeled on your radiator shroud. Look around the engine compartment like the hood or radiator fram suport and there should be a label with the the belt routing.
Good luck and hope this helps

Look for a fuel reset. Not quite enough info on what is happening but I am going to take a leap of faith and assume it is turning over but not getting gas. Look in your manual for where the fuel reset is. Usually behind a foot panel in the front passenger side.

Your gears or maybe your car system needs to be fix

Appears as if it is located under the center console. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. https://www.6ya.com/eugene_aa01c1a9fa4c2ed9
