Over the past 2 months my 900 has made a slight humming noise when idling. A trip to the Saab mechanics (whom I trust) has revealed that my timing chain is beginning to show some wear. Questions: - Is timing chain wear normal at the 62K mark? - If so -- how safe is it to drive(and for how long?) Int'l Motors in Falls Church, VA is saying that it will cost thousands to replace once the time comes. Is it worth it? And should I do it now or later? Thanks...
