Just got car 1999 Saab 9-5 SE auto back from mechanic and notice two holes in the carpet up behind the accelerator and above the footrest and can see some sort of engine parts. Do you know what it is.

sounds like a vac leak to me

Had same problem last week, just fixed by local Saab Centre. They replace the CKP Sensor and problem gone.

Maybe, as on my1999 Saab 9-5 V6 3.0t SE sedan, it's behind the passenger's side front wing, before the wheel...Black plastic cover retained by 4 screws... fast and easy to do, all you need is a torx screwdriver...and to lift the car securely.

Hope it help, even if my english isn't terrible.

To check the oil level open the boot - at the very back remove the 4 plastic clips that hold the carpet in place. Slightly to the left of the center there are 2 holes - shine a light in the bottom and look through the top one to check the level.
To add oil - fold down the seat backrest. Remove the plastic trim - held on by 4 screws and 2 pop out plastic cllips. Undo the 8 large bolts that hold the cover in place - 2 on top and 3 on front and back.Then lift up the cover from the front edge. You will then be able to get to the resevoir - you will need a funnel to poor fluid in.

there may be a mechanical back up system to temporaily bypass the electrical circuit. Look in your owner manual. Some have a small hole in the shift console to insert a pin the depress the release for the shift interlock.

hi sue from the boot side behind the carpet  

You can buy after market mirrors a lot cheaper at a parts store. Or you could go to a auto salvage yard and get one

Ask if they have a Haynes or a Chiltons or any repair manual, I am not very smart when it comes to foreign cars. Thats they best answer I can give you

if is a 9-5 turbo,pull up the back seats take out the metal cover and loose the pump holder
