Cylinder Pressure Values (at 97k miles) Posted by Saabster [Email] ![]() ![]() |
I'm currently going through a decision making process. My 3 year extended warranty ended last night at 5pm. Have been contacted by 3 different companies that'll pick me up for another 3 years/36k miles for a small fee of $1800. I've decided to check all the major stuff posted on here...those items that you need to know, but don't always want to know. :)
Firstly, engine cylinder pressure: Did the test according to the Haynes manual and got 150psi on the 3rd stroke and 180psi on the 6th stroke on all 4 cylinders. That made me breath a little easier because they were all so close. No hint of a problem. I would also like to point out that this would be a good starting point from which to begin performance mods. If there is a problem, I can only assume that more power will amplify them.
Second: Planning on changing out the oil pressure sensor. I have also found, as many of you have, that my oil light is never on. This part is $25. That's cheap for a little peace-of-mind.
Third: Going to tear into the cooling system this weekend when I install the Viggen Intercooler. (T-stat, radiator check etc) Want to check deposits. The only kind of deposits I like are ones made to my checking account. Please be sure to sign your checks. :)
Overall I feel she's in very good shape for 97k miles and counting. I figured that pushing 100k is also a good time to see what's going on inside. Kinda like when we hit 40 years old. (Speaking from experience) Be sure to ask the Doctor for dinner and a movie!
I think I've decided to pass on the $1200 to $1800 bill for coverage. All the major stuff has been corrected in the last 3 years. That way I can use the dough for more upgrades...like ECU and downpipe etc. Just passing on my Saab experiences for those interested. Thanks
