Saab made it right in 9-5........ Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: In line 6's naturally balanced, similar to . . ., Mike in Anchorage, Sat, 7 Aug 2004 12:16:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Saab resourced, purchased the GM engine from a different supplier, and totally redesigned the 3.0 assemytrically turbo found in the 9-5 SE's and V6 Arcs. They have been bulletproof in 9-5, less warranty claims than the 2.3 four.
The 3.6 "Global V6" as I call it is another complete redesign, no more cam belts, switched to cam chains and variable valve timing too. Folks are pretty happy with the 3.6 in the Caddy's, power wise, no long term durability results in yet.
But I'm trying to find someone who knows the V angle of the whole family of engines. It's a unique number I think that robs the engine of some smoothness.
