Re: Re-Torquing Head Bolts Posted by Ken [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re-Torquing Head Bolts, Mike, Sat, 23 Aug 2003 12:30:09 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My mechanic estimated the success rate of re-torquing at 70%. I believe the success rate depends on what your symptoms are. My '99 9-3 SE was leaking a little bit of oil onto the exterior of the engine, no coolant leaks were apparent. Retorquing several months ago seems to have worked so far for me. Remember to thoroughly clean off old oil when you do it so you can easily spot new leaks.
If car is covered under warranty, Saab requires re-torquing and waiting a bit before authorizing a head gasket replacement. Watch it closely as your warranty winds down.
