My problems with the 9k is probably longer than yours. But I found in
most instances they are due to my own doing, either neglect or
mistakes. I am not implying it is in your case too. Currently two of
my three 9k's are with a different engine. Actually three of the four
9k's I owned are with a different engine. Still I have not lost faith
in the 2,3L engine. The way SAAB milked the mileage out of these two
engines (the 2.0L and 2.3L) in the line up is ridiculous. The design
is essentially unchanged for almost 20 years.
