I sent and e-mail to SAAB Canada on 21 March 2005.
I advised them that I was disappointment with the quality of some of the components on my SAAB 1999 9-5 LPT. I’ve had the following work done in the last year.
Replace Turbo - $2,269.73, Replace Radio SAAB Information Display (SID) - $742.57, Repair PCV (fix ?) - $57.97, Repair Oil Leak. Front Cover Modification -$1,836.41, Replace Heater Motor - $562.93 & Replace Throttle Body - $1,117.69.
Total Repairs since - $6587.30. (Canadian Dollars).
The cabin heater SAAB Information Display (SID) is only showing 60 % of the pixels and will be the next thing to be replaced.
I received a phone call from SAAB Canada. The person that I talked to was Steve, at 1-800-263-1999 ext. 2610. He advised me that since the work was done at a non-SAAB garage, there was nothing SAAB Canada, could do for me. I told him that I took the car to the local SAAB Dealer regarding an oil leak. The vehicle was inspected. The work order stated;
“ Inspect and report oil leak from the right hand side of the engine from alternator area. Diagnosis reveals oil leak from cylinder head and timing cover - Requires R&R engine and timing cover modification running engine reveals leak from front of gasket to cover corner.”
The repair estimate at the SAAB Dealer was $2,300.00. My independent SAAB garage, completed the job for $1,836.41.
I feel that the engine leak is a design fault, but if not found during warranty, you’re out of luck.
