Hello Saab friends, n buddy of mine drives among other things a 2002er Saab 9-5 with said engine. Recently I raised him a bit and said that is also only n differently packed Vectra B (somewhat jokingly of course, I am Opel driver myself) 😛 Of course he did not want to let it sit on himself and meant the ground group was developed so to speak by Saab for Opel/GM and the engine – the finest Saab engine etc… I then Googled without any clue and see – nothing of the right 😉 I then showed the buddy some reports about the engine and he fell out of all clouds. He is a guy who buys cars and drives up to the bitter end or the vehicles then also puts in the barn as collectible object/possibly valuable plant. Well, since the engine of the Saab has driven down 280,000km (200,000 of it, but drives only a maximum of 130), he is now unsure and wonders whether the engine e.g. by new bushings, cylinder hoarding or similar permanently ha Since he is so attached to the cars, he would probably also like to invest a little more if useful. Is there any possibilities there? Except for tips like engine cover down, no high speeds etc found nothing about whether one gets by by revision of the engine firmness somehow. I am also not an expert, insofar sorry for a stupid question too… 🙂 Thank you already!!
