Hi,
unfortunately I have to give up my 1993 SAAB 9000 after about 360000km.
So I am looking for a cheap used SAAB and a lot of them with 3.0TID
diesel-engine, like this one:

Since now, I thought, that diesel is something for elderly Mercedes
driver, or avaricious VW driver, but not for SAAB drivers :-)

How do you think about SAAB diesel engines ?
Are there major problems with these engines ?

Greetings
Axel

At 8litre/100kM, the economy of the 3.0TID is the same as my 2.0 LPT
35-40 mpg, and diesel is more expensive than petrol (in uk).

Re: Saab Diesel ?



By that standard, there are no Saab petrol engines, either.

The 3.0 v6 diesel was an Isuzu lump, as was the 2.2TiD.
The 1.9/2.0 TiD/TTiD is a Fiat lump.

It could be worse. It could be Peugeot.

Well, the Dame Edna model of 9^5 not only looks like a Peugeot, the
diesel version sounds like one and the quality is even lower. Have a
look at the quality poll for new cars of MY2008:

Sorry for the Swedish link but numbers are still international :-)
"Genomsnittsbilen" = Average car
