I had suspicions about how well the mod actually worked for those of us whose engines showed the results of excessive crankcase pressure. My 99 9-5 did this:
- blew out the timing chain cover seal, warranty repair, no mention of root cause
- began to seep oil from head area, retorque of loose head bolts fixed this
- Lastly blew out the rear main crank seal,(out of warranty) leaking oil. Then I applied the Saab mods - the problem seems to abate for a number of weeks, then returns with the putrid stench of oil dripping on the exhaust.
Have to wonder why is it that some engines are ok irrespective of whether mod has been done, others obviously have excessive pressure which the application of the mods may or may not resolve.
Anybody heard anything from Saab which even resembles a plausible explanation ?
