Our 2000 9-5 is presently at the dealer to have the SI No. 210-2417, crankcase ventilation, modification performed. Like Marc's experience, the local around town mileage on our car has been poor (typically 16-17 mpg range) despite new plugs, air cleaner, tire pressure at 38 psi, and everything else being within specs. Dealer also reported that the car needs a new turbo (at all of 30,200 miles, so thank goodness it is still under warranty!)(also experienced blue/gray smoke at start-up). So I am wondering, has anyone had the crankcase ventilation fix performed and then subsequently noted that gas mileage has improved?
