Common Saab Reliability Insights

Oil Sludge: Blocked oil pickups on 9-3 OG and 9-5 OG engines can lead to total engine failure.
DI Cassettes: The black or red ignition modules are a "when, not if" failure item; always carry a spare.
CIM (9-3 NG): Column Integration Module failures lead to key recognition and steering lock issues.
Bulkhead Cracks (900 NG/9-3 OG): Metal fatigue near the steering rack can lead to vague steering and MOT failure.
Rear Steer Bushes (9-3 NG): Worn rear suspension bushes cause an unstable, "wandering" sensation at speed.
