Hi Saabies, Some weeks ago I got my 97 9-5 2,0 back from the service. It needed a second time a new cylinder-head-sealing. When I started the engine, I noticed a tiny little blue cloud from the exhaust pipe, after several 100 metres a bigger one, behind the next traffic lights the entire district was blue. I called the service and was told: "Oh, seems You blew your turbo.." Well, the master was right. Now my SAAB has a new one. I paid 1.200,00 Euro (nearly Dollars). I may tell You all: After 3 ans 1/2 years I donĄt love my car anymore. It is horrible expensive. Too many important, expensives parts like air-condition-compressor, cylinder-head-sealings, electronic-throttle-valve, electronic displays had to be changed. You are the king at SIX or AVIS because You get (nearly) all cars You like, if your SAAB is at service, but that will not ease Your pain. The low-rpm-engine (like a modern diesel) is nice, the automatic-shifted driving also, the body too, but now, after the second SAAB, it is time to change. Good luck Wolfgang H”cker Berlin / Germany
