I do have a complete history on the car. Oil changed every 5k miles by Saab dealer. Used Saab factory oil. I am not even sure that it is a lifter or a valve. It could very well be an ACC/HVAC issue. The only time/place I can hear the ticking is while sitting in the car under no load. I honestly have not researched it that thoroughly. Some folks have stated that it may be one or the other. I apologize for any ignorance with regards to these cars - I am coming from the Audi world. The reason I asked about the lifter is because it is a notorious issue with the Audi 20v 5 cylinder. As I have owned both a Coupe Quattro and Ur S4, I am familiar with the lifter tick (usually means that oil level is low). I will probably bring it to the dealer and have them diagnose the issue and try to resolve at that point.
