Hello, Wondering if anyone could point out a fix for an oil leak I’ve recently discovered. Attached pictures: After degreasing the underside of the engine, I discovered the leak weeping from a small hole in this gasket. (I’m not sure what this gasket is for) It started trickling out slowly...

I bought my 2001 9-5 about three years ago and have been dealing with the oil leak since day one. The engine was caked up with oil from underneath. I have replaced some parts to address the leak issue, but it looks like none of the parts I replaced were the leading cause of the oil leak...

I am the owner of a Turbo X, I have no training as a mechanic nor do I have much experience but I work for a SAAB garage.

Hey folks. So for a while now, I've had two oil leaks. One comes from the drain plug (I've replaced the gasket but it steal leaks) and another from the oil level sensor at the other end (towards the front of the car) I've tried a sealant solution that another member did on his 2.8 but no...

Here is what happens: 1. Engine at running temp. 2. Stay at idle for 2 or more minutes 3. On acceleration, will get spark knocking and oil burn as white smoke from tailpipe. 4. After it is burnt off, no more smoke, no more knocking. Until at idle again for said amount of time. Here is what I...

The previous owner of the 93 base I now own, has a parts car. I'm not sure if it is a base or an SE (or maybe viggen?), but he is willing to let me come and get the turbo off of it. From everything I have seen, even when searching for parts, i.e AutoZone, the 2.0l SE is HOT. Meaning it has the...

I recently bought a 2003 9-5 2.3t w/ 146k for $1200. I drove the car about 150 miles before I developed a large coolant leak from my radiator. Being out in a snowstorm, I had to drive the car home with the engine temp spiked for about 10-12 mins. After replacing the radiator, Lower hose and...

Hello. I'm just wondering what you guys think. Do any of you have experience with cracks in this head? It is a 2004 Linear 2.0t US market with 141k miles and to my knowledge has never overheated. It doesn't appear to have any issues, runs great. I noticed burning oil smell and it turned out I...

Just bought a 1999 9-5 with 177k. The previous owners said that the pcv system leaks and needs to be replaced. The pcv system on the car is not the updated one, so I went ahead and ordered the #6 kit, (yet to receive in mail). I was showing off the car so I was running it on the hard side...

Hi All, I recently replaced my 2006 Aero with a nice, low mileage 2008 TurboX. The previous owner said the local garage (Saab) had fixed the rear diff leak, evident from a small stain in his parking. He might have told me the truth, however the leak is persistently ongoing. The local garage...

Hi everyone, I am having some issues with my '99 Saab 9-5. I took the car down to my local mechanic late last week for an unrelated problem and he found coolant mixed in with the motor oil. He is convinced that the head gasket is blown and the car will need a new engine, I am less convinced...
