Many on this site have indicated near eternal life for timing chains & that was my expectation. But I have just replaced timing chain amd more on '96 900S at 70k miles. Seems the chain tensioners went strange and chain managed to flail around somewhat - damage on outer edge of sprockets as example. Yet engine kept running OK until noise became a concern. Suspicion is that chain slipped on one of the balance shafts at some time (had experienced strange vibration for months) and this may have caused chain to jump or been result of chain jumping. Whichever? It is not a common repair as it took 7 weeks because sprockets not available from SAAB USA & had to be shipped from Sweden (or maybe Outer Mongolia given the delay). Waiting for SAAB response to my letter of complaint.
