search here re the V6. Posted by Snowmobile [Email] (#686) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Snowmobile) on Mon, 14 May 2012 08:17:13 In Reply to: 2001 9-5SE automatic, 9-3Talladega, Sat, 12 May 2012 13:03:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
There are many fans + experts here of the V6. Search their posts for more info + buying advice. Hard to sludge up a V6 but don't miss the timing belt change!
I am not a huge fan of the V6, especially as the cars age. I think it will largely be easier to get parts for a 2.3t or T. Many more of them on the road... However, there are a few things to watch for on those also... oil change history in particular, and for older ones (like what you're looking at) look for pcv#6, the garret turbo can be weak (but can be replaced with the more sturdy TD04 from an Aero, so no biggie, just a bit costly)... and there can be some other common issues to check for in the buying process. Run a search here + you will get tons of buying advice! these are fantastic highway cars!
good luck!
