Saab 9-5 Upper Timing Chain Guide part 2

There is a rubber grommet and a plastic nipple that fit into a hole in the valve cover for the PCV system. I reused the ones that were there even though i bought replacements. If my valve cover develops a leak and i have to use new gaskets i will then replace the PCV parts(they only cost $2). I actually broke the nipple 1st time i took it out and super glued together. It's still in one piece. T...

    I've owned my Saab 9-5 Wagon 2.3T for about 15 years and have done the majority of my own engine work. I've never changed this part, but now @ 191K miles I'm trying to diagnose engine noises I'm not familiar with. Was the purpose of this part, (when new and pliable), to muffle timing chain noise when the timing chain inevitably stretches? I would imagine the purpose was to also prevent the timing chain from touching the cylinder head cover. Did you notice any difference after installation of this part? Thanks

    Based on all that Blackened BBQ'd oil everywhere You need to Change your oil Semi regularly AND find out /fix Why your engine is running too Hot. Beyond that your timing chain has stretched , judging by the wear on the rubber bumper piece. Best save up for a fresh chain Or an engine rebuild.. your choice.

      It's not always the chain. Many chains get condemned when it's a simple matter of just changing the cam cover guide. A chain and guide kit + labour circa £350. Cam.cover guide around £10 and if its still in good condition you can even re use the old gaskets.

    • @thingserik7269
      @thingserik7269 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, i did not get a notification on your comment. The rule on blowers is if the speed does not adjust it is likely the resistor. If the fan cuts in and out it is likely the brushes on the blower are worn out. Mine was the latter. This is why i replaced it. If the speed adjusts but there is low air flow you need to first recalibrate the ACC buy pushing auto and off buttons simultaneously. This adjusts the blend doors to correct positions. If this doesn't work you will probably see fault codes on the ACC display

    So, the bottem line is, doing this on a lift and working from underneath would be the ideal method. I think i put the car back on ramps to tighten the back screw with a wrench. I used the old screws. Because i work mostly on dirt or uneven asphalt i will not work solely off jackstands i use them in conjunction with a floor jack for safety.
