Subject: Re: distribution chain replacement


For the non Dutch speaking (reading) news group readers the translation, I realy do not know when to replace the timing chain. Your local SAAB dealer can inform you about the interval. As long as you do not hear strange mechanical noises, nothing is wrong in my opinion. An hydraulic chain tensioner keeps the right tension to the chain. N.B. Just after starting a ticking noise can be audible. This is due to the hydraulic tappets, especially when the car has not run for a while. The tappets will be filled with oil during engine operation. The noise will last for a few seconds to approx. 15 minutes. During that time do not rev up to more than 3000 RPM.
