Over time you'll realize that there are two kind of posts on this site.
1) Problems wherein a solution is being sought, or one where the soution has been found and is being shared.
2) Solutions being sought to fix something that isn't broken...yet, and may never break.
One case of reality.....my 2000 9-5 Aero has 250K miles. Experience to date has included: 1 DI cassett at 105K miles, 1 water pump at 80K miles, 1 headlight bulb, NO turbos, NO SLUDGE!; the oil pan was dropped at 249K, NO clutch, NO head bolts, NO transmission (except for a replacement at 205K caused by an accident that cracked the case)... My biggest complaint is that I'm having to replace front pads and rotors every 100K miles; the rears have faired better...I did the first replacement at 200K miles.
The point is that the overwhelming majority of us are pretty bored with the reliality. Consumer Reports 2004 survey data bears this out...above average reliability for the 9-5. I also have another 2004 9-5....it's also boringly reliable.
