Re: Timing belt vs timing chain
The old Saab engines (up to a couple of years ago) all had timing chains. I had a poverty spec 9000 which did over 200k miles on it's original chain and ran very strongly into the scrap yard... Turbos tended to need a chain somewhere around 100K miles but they were hauling around 2 tonnes of singleminded Swedish engineering with a 230hp 2.3 litre engine....
From memory a new chain was upto £700...
Cheers
John
