Yes, the 9-5 4 cylinder has sludge issues like the 900's. The V6 on the 9-5 is not the same as the NG900 V6 and a much better Vaxhaul compared to the Opel. I recommend looking at the V6. I love mine. The V6 does not have the sludge issues nearly as much as the 4 cylider, but it does requre timing belt, pulley, tensioner replaced every 60k. Pros/cons to both engines but the 9-5 is a completely different car that the 900's as you no doubt noticed if you have taken it for a test drive. There are a lot of posts on this board and recommend doing a search. Good luck and am confident you will really enjoy the 9-5.
