Re: How wide spread is the 2007+ 2.0T valve problem? Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: How wide spread is the 2007+ 2.0T valve problem?, MI-Roger ![]() |
Pretty wide range of mileages I have seen from 2007-2010s for the 2.0T. Low as 34k up to 185k with varying degree of severity which is usually related to how far they continued to drive with the condition. Ive had two now which wouldnt start from such low compression. I've repaired 7 and sent two 2007s to the dealer under their extended powertrain warranty (5/100k). Ive checked the IRIS report of many 2007-2009s with Saab and have seen many had cylinder head replacements under warranty, usually with a claim for coil packs and spark plugs just prior.
Be absolutely certain the engine has sat overnight (stone cold) when doing the compression check. I always suggest a smoked leakdown test which will show the condition easier and earlier than a compression check.
