Known Issues
|
|
Common Problems:
|
Oil sludge buildup in turbocharged engines (especially with infrequent oil changes), ignition coil failures (common in NG900/9-3, can affect 9-5), ECDS (Engine Control System) issues, PCV system clogging leading to oil leaks, turbocharger wastegate actuator issues, 'check engine' light illumination due to various sensor failures (e.g., crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor).
|
|
Saab Specific Issues:
|
The 'Saab Centric' design meant some components were unique, requiring specialized knowledge for repair. The SID (Saab Information Display) can fail. Diaphragm in the turbocharger boost control can degrade.
