I have no turbo so was guessing at knackered valve oil seals, after searching the SAAB forums I can't find any info where it doesn't end up being the PCV and/or turbo so I was wondering if it's a common problem on the SAAB 2.3 non-turbo engine ?
Anyone changed the oil seals on the SAAB engine, any suprises or caveats ?
Cheers in advance, Tony
F*ok, wrong NG ;)
"Tony \(UncleFista\)" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Sounds likely to me.
Common problem on 9-5s and 9-3s later than yours, with various PCV upgrades to sort it - it's not so much the PCV itself, as crappy PCV design causing serious sludging. AIUI, yours is immune on both age and non-turboness.
I _didn't_ do mine when I had the head off the c900 (same engine).
They're fairly straightforward, though.
It sounds modified to me, just not the way you'd want it to be....
