2008 Aero XWD : a few observations/questions... Posted by magalar [Email] (#1325) [Profile/Gallery] (more from magalar) on Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:56:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hi again,
Our 08 Aero is a strange bird : built in 06-2008, it has the B284R engine. So is this a 280 hp car ? If so, how come the Saab brochures and the Owner's manual both show the car as a 255 hp ?
Rear brakes : I had to find vented rear rotors with the bigger bore (70 mm), rotors that were installed on 08 Turbo X, and 2009+ XWD. No jobber catalogue (Zimmerman, Delco, CEntric, Raybestos, etc.) show this rotor for a 08 XWD.
When is the proper moment to replace the spark plugs ? Are they problematic when old ? Will they be hard to remove later so I should do it now ? Car is 88 000 km, 55k miles, and I don't know if they were ever done.
Car has the Bose radio. I see only a "Centerpoint" setup in the radio menu, looks like it's missing some other functions. Am i right ?
Engine coolant. I guess it's the "long life" variety, but should I do a replacement to prevent some corrosion issues in the future ? Car will stay with us for a few years I guess...
Thanks in advance for your answers...
