hi all, new to site and to world of saabs,
as for the above post about turbo smoking, my saab 9-5 1998 has been of the the road for about a year now and i finaly got round to changing the clutch on it (WHAT A NIGHTMARE THAT WAS) but anyway got it all done and took it for a long drive approx 60miles and the way home it started smoking and when i let off the gas and then as i reaplied it, it would judder and hesitate as if were going to stall the engine, the smoke got worse and when i got home i checked the oil and it was dry, i put some more oil in and the smoke got even worse, so much that i could hardly see the car through the smoke, at first i thought it may be that the fuel in the tank was off do to it being sitting around for a year so i put about 10 ltrs in from an empty tank but still smoking,also the check engine light has come on, any help or advise on this would be greatfull, thanks wayne

Hey man I just bought a 1996 900 Se Turbo. When I test drove it, no smoke or shudder. After I bought it and started driving it off, I noticed there was smoking. It was only on start up, so I assumed it was the valve guides, which is no big deal. Then the smoke became more persistant, so I assumed it was the rings. worse but still not a big deal. Well I had to change the power steering hose, when I did and got it back on the road, I was putting down a smoke screen that would cover a full tank division assault across the desert floor. Turns out there is a hole in my block. So my car is in the shop as I type this getting a used engine put in.
I suggest you bring your car to the nearest dealer or mechanic and have them check the valves, valve guides, and rings. Don't bother trying to cover it up with the "no smoke" or "smoke be gone" quick fixes. I hope you get a little out of this..
