Does anyone know about the recall No. 05930330 MAY 93? Apparently it was for chattering timing chains on 1991 Turbo engines? I just thought, if it's still active, I might get mine replaced for free... now that would be nice.

I had a Golf once that needed a new heater matrix, went to local parts shop, said how much, he said what year, I said '88, he said, "have you had the recall?" I said no, he said go to VW and check, so I did. Safty recall on my car was still active - and I got a new heater matrix too... fanastic. Saved my £200 in parts and time.

Hang on... I've just had a thought. If I take my car to a Saab garage, they won't know what to do with it.

They won't know where to plug their computer in for a start. And if one of them gets adventurous and opens the bonnet, they might get oil on their immaculatly clean overalls.

Best leave it to the specialist. They're mechanics, after all.

You could scan the Saab tech documents on

He has IIRC some Saab recall and tech fix sheets. Let us know what you find

Hmmm... nothing there that I can see... still, I'm going to do the chain anyway in a couple of weeks (I would do it sooner, but sadly there's a small thing called Holiday... oh well... sun, sea... rental cars with air con.)

Timing chain... welding... rear suspention... front roll bar... the rust...

All things come to those that wait.

And have plenty of money

where do they come up with thoes numbers?

05930330??????

why not 45678663 or 965758278, but wait i like the sound of 554936789328

i always wondered. my parents got a recall notice last month for our dodge durango, like 16 didgits then four characters. who comes up with these?

I think it's because a number is pretty ambiguous. If they put out a recall titled "Possible Break Failure at High Speed, see also steering wheel link - could cause Death", it might get a few people a bit nervous about their cars.

I think 123-456-789/A is just right.
