Dear community, by now, T7 cassettes are also offered by the Saab part dealers known in the forum, which are significantly cheaper (up to 50%) than the original goods. Are there already long-term experiences? Greetings Jazzer2004

Does someone know a (harmless) explanation or has idea of further problems in the direction of hope? Engine runs sufficiently round, but with power mau, down wall (as if without turbo!) performance problem can also come from leaky hoses engine ventilation and dense oil trap. Or asked the other way around: Does someone know from experience that investment in the engine is certainly not indicated? (as one must fear for the time being)

Hello dear Saabisti’s Did any of you ever hear of Saab’s revolutionary SVC engine (5cylinder, compressor charge, movable cylinder head) which had attracted great attention from a few years? Or did the beloved mother house GM set the red pencil and put the project back into deep sleep. Gruss Oli

Hello Saab enthusiast, I have learned today that there is a problem with the crankcase ventilation with Saab. My 93 AERO gasoline 205hp year 2000 is also affected according to the report. I just read in the forum that high oil consumption can be an indication of this problem and my AERO SÄUFT oil. However, to my knowledge these engines should hardly consume any oil. What is it like with a retrofit kit for the crankcase ventilation and is this also helpful, have read d As a result, there is too much oil consumption?!. Who is up-to-date on this matter? Are SAAB’s clientele offering? I am grateful for every answer. Greetings

THE oil for the Saab machines at risk of infarction: Mobil 1 OW-40, fully synth. with printed Saab release, with a nationwide operating car parts and workshop service provider: 4 liters 58,90 !!! The same oil over ebay at “omanitnat” e.g. 4 liters 24,- plus 7,- shipping costs, for whatever quantity. “Shipping is faster than the engine dies” (should you know)

Subject 2.2 TiD. I always use the Mobil1 SynthS 5W-40. Today I got oil again, as soon as changes are announced again. I noticed that the canisters have a new, rounder shape. I of course immediately looked at the small print. And look, it has now printed the GM release (GM-LL-B025). The other Normans were already correct and the oil was suitable before. Only as information for oil refillers or self-screws.

Hello I once again had a conversation about my 900II which is increased performance and at the same time over 93 he and 95 he Saab engines the performance can be increased which also make fun after all the 9000 cs or aero if one invests in these cars 2.3 turbo and gives wings these cars are unpredictablely inconspicuous and damn fast.The engines of the 9000 ern 2.3T should also withstand a lot more without forging piston etc. and in the maintenance are the also cheaper !? lich the strongest 9000 in Germany drives with 470 Ps. can that be possible ? is true that these engines of the 9000 he really are so good ?? (Ps. maptun I’ve already looked at) thank you for every answer.

Now I finally bought my dream car and after a long consideration instead of a 2.3 turbo decided for the 3.0 TiD, because I drive about 6000 km a month and often travel with caravan or trailer. My car is 1st hand EZ.04.01 and had run 63,000Km when buying 6 weeks ago (with checkbook). He always got 5W40 oil. Now I used 72,000Km down and with speedy driving approx.0.5l oil / consumption approx. 7.7-8.3L per 100Km. what I find appropriate. I’m very satisfied with the engine’s running performance (Vorgangerfahrzeug Opel Astra 2.2 DTI – hat stark Ölverbrauch) Now I’ve read here that almost every one of these engines is flying apart and have suddenly got stomach cramps and sweat outs. Did I buy factory scrap for expensive money now, or what can I do to keep having fun with the 9-5. According to my Saab dealer, the several with 1st engine and over 200TKm in the clientele !? Lug and Trug !? drive the engine always carefully warm and cold. I am grateful for all the advice.

Saab-community, recently I met a BMW engineer and as a 3.0 TID driver of course immediately reported about the sinking running bushings of this engine. He did not seem to be particularly impressed by this. He thought running bushings had to be maintained in order to achieve a high mileage. This would not be done at all today and at all BMW dispenses with running bushings, but uses engines constructed differently like other manufacturers. Now my question: Are engines m it Laufbuchsen no longer up-to-date? Thank you voarb! Greetings from Munich, especially to the fellow sufferers

Hello @ all My car is not always clean – with certain things I am absolutely sensitive – e.g. with the liquids and filters. Now Saab has introduced from MJ 2001 the “long life” cooling liquid (orange), which is to keep a “vehicle life” and no longer needs to be changed. I change my cooling liquid (BASF G48) every two years in May and if I look at my collection tank so, then I know “what good” to have done for my car. Freshly swirled up is she “grey” and this is also perfectly normal. My question to you … Who is changing anyway – who adheres to Saab’s promises and who hasn’t thought about it yet?
