I had to replace the engine in my 97 900s due to a main bearing failure. According to the dealer the bearing failed because of a lack of lubrication, but he couldn't explain why that would happen. It happened at only 50K miles and 6 months after the warranty expired! I have changed oil regularly every 4K to 6K miles. I suspect this is related to the balance chain problem. The deteriorating chain may have caused clogging of the oil pan screen, filter etc. This engine is probably very sensitive to regular oil changes. I bought the car used with 30k on it and the previous owner may not have changed oil as often as I did. Anyway, I still blame Saab for this problem! If anyone has access to any internal memo from Saab on this issue, I would love to have a copy. I will go after Saab to get my C$6000 back!
