Disadvantages of the Saab D207L engine

  • Most engine problems are related to intake manifold swirl flaps.
  • When worn, they begin to close at random, wedge, and may even fall off.
  • The fuel system is very reliable and only the metering valve regularly bothers.
  • At high mileage, nozzles often start to pour, but they are quite suitable for repairs.
  • Sometimes the exhaust manifold cracks or deforms in the area of the 4th cylinder.
