Dear Saab experts,
I am posting this message on behalf of my parents, who are going on holiday soon. Their Saab 9-5 produces a high whining noise when the motor is cold - the noise disappears once the motor has reached normal temperature. They have taken it to their dealer, but they did not manage to locate the source of the noise, and have only replaced some ventilation tubes. I checked several Saab sites, and encountered a posting on a similar problem that said the whining noise might indicate serious motor problems (it could be caused by low oil pressure in the system controlling the belt?).
I hope that one of you recognizes these symptoms and can advise whether it is safe to drive long distances?
Thank you in advance!
