9-5 crankcase ventialtion CVS

I'm considering buying a 2001 5-spd 9-5 wagon. It has a warranty but I'm concerned about the CVS issue. Has it been resolved? Is there a retroactive fix? Is it covered under warranty? Thanks.

The crankcase ventilation >system in the 4 cyl 9-5 engines do have problems, mostly because the >crankcase ventilation system the engine was designed to use was not >acceptable for use in the US due to some stupid rules.

A malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system will result in >dirty oil and that can result in turbo failure.

I have a 2000 9-5 Wagon 5-speed, it's a great car. The retrofit is available from the dearler, and easy to inpliment at home.

Does that mean that the 'sludge problem' is specific to US models ?

My 2000 2.0t 9-5 Wagon suffered from this and I am in the UK. Nice screaming noise the engine made when it was started from cold!
