At my father's car, a 99 9-5 2.3t lpt auto. When start-up the car has blue smoke. I see in the bulletin board it's another problem of the 99 version of the 2.3t. I read something about to change the turbo completly or only a seal of the turbo. The car had all the known problems of the 99 version, changed ECU at 50000km some km later also changed the butterfly of the electronic throttle, with 110000km changed one of the front suspension bush.
One day after the 130000km revision, the hose that goes between the turbo and the engine loosen. Some times the SID loose some pixels.
And now with 136000km the blue smoke at start-up. It's a bad luck the problems of the 99 version, but in general i see that the other car makers has a lot of problems, worst than this saab.... we are very happy with the 9-5, but this version has worst reliability than the '95 9000 CSE V6 with 185000km auto that now I drive and was my father's car before his 9-5, i only has a problem with a stone that broke a coolant hose, and nothing happened.. the solar sensor of the ACC, and with 180000km i must change the water pump and one roller of the timing belt. I love this car, isn't the same as the turbo version... but i love when i put manualy the first gear and arrive at 66000rpm... buuuuuffff what a punch!!!
Another thing... I see the 9000 leather seats are better than the 9-5 seat, isn't it?? the 9-5 leather seats doesn't resist the pass of the time as the 9000 seat, the driver seat of the 9-5 has worst apperance with 130000km, and crunch more with the plastic of the seat, than the 9000 with 185000km.
Bye
