  Saab B engine - Biocrawler

 2000 Saab 9-5 Wagon
The 3.0-liter V6 engine in the 9-5 SE wagon is unusual in that it is turbocharged by only one bank of cylinders, where common practice is to use the exhaust gases from all cylinders to spin the turbocharger.
Part of the Saab character demands that the engine be allowed to rock back and forth freely on its transverse mounts, creating a strong moment in the drivetrain as it does so, and making on-throttle and off-throttle transitions less than smooth.
Saab went to an independent rear suspension on this wagon to increase the load width in the cargo bay, and got a lot better handing in high-speed corners in the bargain.

 First Drive: 2003 Saab 9-3
Furthermore, Saab says it has seen a dramatic increase in sales for the 9-5 sedan compared to the previous 9000, which was a five-door hatchback.
Saab hopes the 9-3 sedan will be the spark to ignite a sales explosion for 2003 and beyond.
Whether Saab can also pull in buyers of the current 3 Series, A4, C-Class and S60 remains to be seen, but its chances are better with this 9-3 model than they have been for a long time.

 [No title]
Saab engineers, huddled around the drawing board in Trollhattan, Sweden, were plotting to produce a larger, more family-oriented car, with a four-stroke engine.
Dubbed the "B" engine, the new block was still cast-iron and resembled the old engine from the outside, except for the valve cover.
Saab had been producing front-wheel drive cars since 1950, so they knew a thing or two about producing strong driveshafts that were capable of handling the power output and severe duty planned for the 99.

 Carpages.ca - 1994 - 1998 Saab 900 Pre-Owned
Saab traditionalists were grateful GM didn't just badge engineer the Opel Vectra, a concern developed by initial speculation on the subject.
Saab added 3-point seatbelts at all positions in the '94 900, even at rear center, while integrated child seats were made available, a feature way ahead of its time.
Saab buyers tend to be independent thinkers too, and therefore probably wouldn't listen to what I have to say as it is. Even if I were to contend that a more recent Honda Accord EX V6 offers more power, better handling and superior reliability, for about the same price, it won't matter.

 Saab Timing Chain Replacement   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When Saab merged with Scania in 1972, they came out with an all-new 2.0 L "B" engine, which had a double-row timing chain and stronger-style tensioner.
Also, when the engine was cold, I found out that chain noise/rattle could be cured just by replacing the small rubber ramp under the valve cover, as it tends to harden and have no dampening effect.
Note: B stands for gas engine, 2.3 is the displacement, and 4 stands for the amount of shafts — two balance shafts and two camshafts.

The first Saab, Saab 92, was hand-hammered into shape by using a support that consisted of an oak stump placed on top of a pile of horse-dung.
Originally Saabs also had the key located on the right side of the steering column, but when they changed from a column shifter to a floor shifter, the ignition key followed along, except in the Sonett III and 9000.
Currently, Saab AB is separate from Saab Automobile (which is owned by General Motors), and is probably best known for its Saab 37 Viggen (the Viggen badge would be shared by a 9-3).
