Most likely a problem with the crankcase ventilation. This is common on the B205 and B235 engines with Trionic 7. Saab has sent several service tips to dealers about crankcase ventilation problems. If a clogged crankcase ventilation system is not fixed the oil will be contaiminated leading to a broken turbo and/or broken timing chain. High oil consumtion and oil leaks are also probable results of a clogged crankcase ventilation system. > Dealer says this is normal for turbos. False. > Am I being snowed. I have no idea. We don't use that expression here in Sweden. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
