And mine has 228k and no sound (2.0 engine). So don't change the chain, unless you have the 2.3l which early models had problems with sprockets, _not_ with the chain. There is actually a procedure to check if the chain needs to be replaced or not... Check the SaabMaster site... http://www.townsendimports.com/ SuoTimo ____________________ Dave Hinz wrote: > > On Mon, 12 Jul 2004 16:41:41 GMT, Don <donnospamcom> wrote: > > He explained to me that the Saab Timing chains have an automatic > > tensioner and they are designed to last the life of the car.
