Subject: 1995 Saab 9000 CDE V6 Timing Belt Went


Hi All: Yep, my very nice 9000 1995 just tossed the timing belt and the local mechanic says at least some of the valves are bent. It has about 89k on it, I wish I would have changed at 75k. or even 88.5k. I was looking forward to running this car for quite awhile longer. So, anyone out there have this happen to them on the 9000 V6 (with something like a billion vales or so to replace ... -:). I am soliciting input from the gallery... 1) Don't fix it, sell for parts 2) Rebuild the engine 3) Replace engine with a rebuilt I REALLY LIKED THIS CAR. The milage was excellent and even though it did not have a turbo, it crused very nicely on the open road. My son was driving it and noticed the engine light popping on and off a bit and then nothing. Yes, I said from now on to pull over right away, but I blame myself for not making sure the belt was changed. So, any input would be appreciated and welcomed especially from anyone who had this happen. 1992 Asto Van LT EXT 4WD (had to repair while 9000 is on the bench) 1995 Saab 9000 CDE 1999 Saab 9-5 2001 Saab 9-5 SE Wagon Thanks in advance
