Saab engine w/o Saab engine software, tsk tsk Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Sat, 21 Aug 2010 09:06:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
This looks like another case of an owner getting cheap with the V6 turbo in their new Cadillac CTS and not using the required high octane fuel. The engines overheat and ignite - GM already has a recall on this. Apparently this owner didn't respond to the postcard as this car fire happened this morning near Ann Arbor.
The Saab engine management software will compensate for lower octane fuels. Obviously the GM engine management software is not as sophisticated.
