Subject: Re: 97 9000 CSE Turbo timing chain replacement


He explained to me that the Saab Timing chains have an automatic tensioner and they are designed to last the life of the car. This guy is one of Denver's largest independent Saab repair shops and all they work on is Saab. In any case I won't worry about this till the car has 100k or more miles on it. 60k isn't the magic number with Saab like it is with other makes of cars.
