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:
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).
i have the saloon 3.0TiD.
i get 30 something to 42 in normal driving. Worst case is driving into a city in rush hour, best case is motorway in summer.
There are no Saab Diesel engines, it's an Opel/Vauxhall Vectra engine...
MH gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
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.
Correct... The two strokes were redesigned DKW, the V4 was Ford, the B engine was a redesigned Triumph, the H engine a redesigned B engine...
MH gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
...and all the current lumps are generic GM.
What´s next... BMW, God forbid...
MH gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
It could be worse. It could be Peugeot.
*LOL*
True spoken - about the upcoming 1,6T-engine - form BMW/PSA...
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:
