I have a 2000 Saab Conv SE Turbo with 72K miles on it. It has a 5spd tranny. I am not the original owner, but I have complete maintenance history on the vehicle. Anyway, the car seems to drive very well, good power, smooth acceleration. The problem is I hear a very loud noise from engine. It can be heard from outside the car, inside the car with or without the windows down. It sounds like someone is brewing a big pot of coffee under the hood (or like a kid blowing bubbles into a cup of mike). I checked the engine and it seems to be coming from turbo charger area, but I can't be certain. Any ideas?
