Hi! I bought my 1996SAAB9000Aero(at 108,000 Km). Recently I had my car inspected by a dealer service(free 52 point inspection). The engineer said to me "The engine is making noises. So you sould change 2 chains and 4 gears of the engine.". I didn't realize the engine noise but I can hear the noise very well when my car was under the hoist. But the service price will be approximately CND$600(Part Cost) + CND$95(Labor Charge) X 8 hours!!! That's going to be CND$1600~1700 after TAX. The engineer told me I should drive the car very gently and carefully or I could ruin the engine. Do I have to change them now? I'm not sure if I have to change them right now. Now the mileage is about 110,000 Km. Could somebody give me an advise or any idea, please? Thank you very much... Have a nice drive in your nice SAABs!!!
