Having the original turbo replaced under warranty at 48K. Ran well but lots of blue smoke occassionally on start up. Advisor indicated a bad assembly of the unit from the factory. Also they just received a Technical Service Bulletin (SAAB TSB) that indicates there can be a potential head gasket problem of some type. Since it's in the shop getting the new turbo, they are also looking at the head gasket. Now if I could just get rid of the cabin smell...could be tied to the turbo burning too hot and having exhaust of same come in cabin saturating the surfaces. Lights have to be replaced a lot. Probably due to running lights on all the darn time.
That said, a Good car and still solid at 48K!
