Subject: Re: Timing Chain for 97 900SE



That's very quick!!
I had a saab 900S 2.3L from 1996 with 190000 km. I switched the 10w40 oil
every 10000 km's.
My garagist said to me that I had to replace my balanceshaft chains and
tensioners etc. Also he told me to replace my timing chain and stuff.
My brother in law (a good non saab mechanic) did the repair because the saab
delaer was to expensive. When my brother in law took al the stuff out of the
engine all was in very good condition. Only a new tensioner for the timing
chain would have been sufficient (that is something you can do yourself if
you are a little handy).
My advice is get a second opinion. When they also say that your timing chain
needs replacement, then first replace your tensioner. I am sure that the
sound of your timing chain will be gone.
Adios, Robert
