2007 9-3 Linear 1.9TDi - 116k miles

Hi all

Mate is interested in a SAAB as per title - anything to look out for on this model given the mileage?

I assume it will be the same engine that I have in my own 9-5 1.9?

Many thnaks in advance

Alternator (has it been replaced)
When was the cambelt done and was the water pump done at the same time as waterpump is only good for 100k (Budget £400 all in to replace belt, tensioner and pump)
Wiper linkage. Do the wipers work as they should. £200-£300 to replace

Check the car revs smoothly with no nasty smoke out the back. You dont want to get a new car and discover the turbo has gone. I rate those to about 100-150k,

Check engine runs smoothly around the boost point of 2k. If its lumpy could be injector wiring or EGR

That's great!

Thanks for the quick reply.
