Turbo Charged Engine Issues in Saabs
Saabs are known for their turbocharged engines, which can have problems such as turbo failure or leaks. Oil leaks are a common issue in Saab vehicles, too. They are often caused by the chain-powered water pump, leading to leaks between the cooling and lubrication systems. Repairing this problem can be pretty costly. However, Saab vehicles are known for their reliability. The 8-valve single-turbo models (120hp TiD) of the Saab 9-3 Saloon are generally considered the most reliable, followed by the 130, 160, and 180hp twin-turbo 16-valve variants.
Saabs are known to have various electronic problems, including issues with the ECU (engine control unit) and other electronic components. Some Saab vehicles also experience engine issues, particularly with older models. Engine sludge can build up due to the engine design and the type of oil used. If you have an older model and notice this issue, please visit us at Hinsdale. Additionally, the ignition coils in Saabs can fail, resulting in misfires and rough running.
