I bought a '92 900 S a few months ago, and I was assured by many people in this NG that this 'valve rattle' is a normal idiosyncrasy, it typically goes away or significantly diminishes in approx. 4-5 minutes, and you need not worry about it. It's probably best to keep the RPMs below 3500 during this warm-up. DC Zievfret wrote: > Hi > > I'm new to Saab. Looking at a '91 9000S hatchback.
