My 1993 9000 CSE had a timing Chain failure at about 111K. Valves were damaged in the process also. I was travelling at about 20 mph when it happened. No noise or other indication of failure. Oil changed regularly. Apparently there is a defect (or poor service life) in some types of chain rollers (stamped and formed vs. machined?). Saab eventually paid for the parts but did not cover labor. Others have also had Saab pay for parts in similar timing chain incidents.
