See my previous posting about sludge.
It is confirmed - removal of valve cover and oil pan revealed sludge. The Saab regional manager looked at service records available through Saab dealership and says NOT COVERED. The earliest "recorded" engine service for the car is 18K. Saab records only indicate when Saab has to pay for service, so it's up to me to get the owner-paid service history.
I have located the original owner and am hopeful that he will respond and provide earlier oil change history. In the meantime, I am faced with a $6300 (used 65K engine) to $9100 (new head and short block) repair bill.
Even if I get the records, it is still up to Saab if they will cover this under the 8yr/100K sludge warranty.
