My cylinder has code etched on barrel, not boss Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: picture of the key code, JerryC, Mon, 17 Dec 2012 07:01:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I tried the spring trick last night to no avail so I ordered a new cylinder, cut to my car's VIN, this morning. Only $47.70 at the local former Saab Dealer. I took a copy of my vehicle title with me to the Parts Counter and they attached a photocopy of one side to the order. Proof of ownership is mandatory when buying this part.
They said normal delivery of Saab parts is 2 to 3 weeks but the system showed eleven other cylinders on order so they didn't want to promise any delivery date. Since each cylinder is custom ordered, rather than being a bin part, having eleven others in the queue may or may not be significant in regards to delivery. What it does show is that a other people are having the same issue.
Even though my car only had 33,000 miles on the odometer when I bought it in February, those 33K miles might represent 11K key insertions and removals - or more!.
