Laxen is back! And now we know why the engine failed. Sad to say, it was a result of the botched timing chain replacement back in 2015. The balance chain sprockets fell away from the shafts, causing internal engine damage. Don’t cheap out!
I give a tour, start up, and exhaust sound of this 2002 Saab 9-5 Aero Salomon Edition in Laser Red. Listen to that silky smooth engine noise after replacing the chains and rebuilding the engine. All bearings and seals are new.

What are the brand and size and rateing of the tiers do u have a link for the tiers
Uhh…don't cheap out but buy a Chinese copy of a Mitsubishi turbo…?
hey T7 so does this also applies for the 02 9-3 SE?
Glad to see that Saabs aren't thrown away because mostly they are great cars. Does your 09 9-5 have Saab's engine or is it GM's?
Is the 9-5 Aero wagon lowered more then the original factory setting?
seems a hack that worked on it, vs. mechanic. 🙂
Skulle vara intressant om Laxen blir till salu, man blir ju sugen 🙂
i love red with black
Just bought myself this exact model of Saab 9-5 Aero (2002, 250 HK, Blue Metallic though, love that colour) to replace the crashed 9-5 2.3T SportKombi (2005), some idiot decided he shouldn't adhere to the priority-to-the-right-rule (Högerregeln) when my other half was heading back from her work.
However, it's not as well maintained as yours was/is, have some issues of rust here and there I have to fix and various small things I need to replace here and there (+ that the engine light came on while I was driving home from buying it, gonna have to check that on Tuesday).
Gonna have to start learning to tinker with it myself a bit more to be able to save money on repairs and regular service-checkups and such.
My engine runs also that quiet.
I got the b204 turbo engine
But it didnt run that great when I bought it.
Ok I see you can do a lot of stuff yourself. But of course you need special tools.
And you need a proper workshop manual.
The right tools for the job.
a lot of patience also of course.
You can master that chain job yourself quite easy.
And a turbo is really easy to change.
You can also decide to rebuilt the turbo yourself and buy a kit for €35,- up to €80,- max.
Or buy a new turbo core which you can install yourself.
a chain kit is between €100,- and €300,- Only the kit.
Saabs are not too difficult to work with.
I prefer a chain over a toothed belt. But a toothed belt is so much more easy to replace.
Mind to put locktite on the tensioner bolt.
Haha. Or it will loosen up and your tensioner will fail. Haha.
I got that. And its much worse then the ballancer chain.
I put on a new belt waterpump tensioner and wheels So it drives as smooth as new now.
But alright that is a GM engine x20xev.
those door sides are beautiful
Love the quite engine!
Wow. So nice to see laxen up and running nicely.
What prompted you to check the timing chain tension? Was it the km covered? Is it easy to do?
Vad var det för metallspån som du hade på oljesilen?
T-shirt weather in Sweden already? I may have to move there from Canada! Ha ha…
nice!, I just bought me a 2002 saab 9-5 Linear. have you ever thought about painting your rotors so they don't rust?
I bet the turbo failed due to low oil pressure.
Live and learn, even from other's mistakes.
Don't be cheap……….china special turbo………..facepalm
Kul och se att laxen lever. Min röda saab 9-5 2,3t 09 griffin heter rut. Ser ut som din kanal har vuxit lite med visningar då jag har följt dig länge nu =) Kul och se. Fortsätt med detta du gör ett bra jobb.
what a beautiful saab!!
kul att se att laxen är back in action igen. 🙂
Jag får nästan lust att ta ur motorn o renovera den bara jag hör hur fint de kan gå….
Man that engine is quiet as hell.
You must make good friends with the new owner! (Maybe get some service!)
Vad trist. Den här entusiasten då, som inte riktigt visste helt vad denne höll på med, är han informerad om det?
