Hi again
The first time that I posted I ask a question without introducing myself. My name is Jay and I live in Allentown,Pa. I love diesel powered cars. I have ownedGM, VW, and Mercedes diesel powered cars.
But,my son just bought my neighbors 1999 9-5SE with 155K and a turbo 4 cyclinder. My neighbor bought the car from a customer at the dealership he works at. If I got my facts correct, the car had the timing chain guide fail and it took ot the turbo???? He gave me all the reciepts from the parts that he replaced including a new turbo , timing parts and headgasket parts, plus many more mis. parts. The parts cost more the a grand at his cost.He also gave my son a new ignition discharge module. Someone mentioned the sludge problems but the neighbor had the engine apart and he says there is no sludge problem.
I'm here because 1- I have no experence working on Saabs, 2- I'll be doing most of the work on this car. So I'll soon be posting some basic Saab question on the 9-5 section. If you could help I would appreace it.I want to thank you all in advance for your advice on this car.Your friend, Jay
