How did the investigations go? What did you find? Most importantly .... Is it fixed?

Not fixed, on hold pending Saab's announcement/decision re: retroactive

8 year warranty. In the meantime I'm driving an '86 900, so it's not a problem.

Ah good (about the latter - turbo, I trust?) ... Shame, the 9-5 is a classy ride. All the best with the claim. There's been some increased talk about the matter on the forum boards I frequent.

Nope, bare stock 900, 8-valve. Comfortable as a worn-in running shoe, bought it for not much, and did minor work to get it ready (brake m/c, plugs, thermostat...I think that's all). Drips oil.

I haven't seen a real announcement yet, and once I do I'll make my request.

Dave

Nooo! A C900 that drips oil???

;-)

Well, sure. That's how you know it's got oil inside the engine. I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear that it's at the valve cover, and the distributor housing.

A real workhorse, then! My old NA needed little more than new sparks, rotor arm and dizzy cap now and again.
