The 2.5L V6 in the NG900/9-3(9400) is not the same engine as the 3.0L V6 in the 9-5. It is not even from the same part of GM. The german 2.5L V6 had lots of problems, but the brittish 3.0L V6 (with Saab redesigs) hasn't had that many problems. The timing belt, however, is a minus. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
