Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines like the A28NER can experience oil leaks at the valve covers, oil pan, or rear main seal, often due to gasket wear or improper sealing.
Timing chain issues
The timing chain tensioner and guides can wear out over time, leading to rattling noises, poor engine performance, and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Turbocharger failure
The 2010 SAAB 9-5 with the A28NER engine may have issues with the turbocharger, including oil leaks, bearing failure, and loss of power due to wear and tear or lack of maintenance.
Ignition coil problems
Misfires and rough idling can occur if the ignition coils fail, which is a common issue in this engine configuration.
Coolant leaks
The V6 engine layout can lead to coolant leaks at the thermostat housing, water pump, or radiator hoses, causing overheating and potential engine damage.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the A28NER can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance, rough idle, and increased fuel consumption.
Fuel injector issues
Clogged or failing fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
A faulty crankshaft position sensor can lead to starting problems, stalling, and a check engine light.
