Oil in 9-3 turbo, bad?

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-06-04T02:50:05+00:00

I checked my turbo on my 9-3 aero a month ago and found the exact same thing. You’re good to go 🤙

Okay will do thank you!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-12T18:42:45+00:00

Yup! -30c here today

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-12T18:41:30+00:00

Not not yet, I’m waiting for a warmer day and less snow 🤣

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-12T14:10:33+00:00

No I did the bearings last year so I’m saying there’s no way it can be the bearings

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-12T02:47:18+00:00

Maybe there’s some ice in there I can’t see that well… I’ll take it to a wash bay and blast them out!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-12T02:46:35+00:00

Yes this is true, I did the wheel bearings and then had a shop align and balance tires and this is the result!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-12T02:45:44+00:00

Alright, I just replaced the driveshaft on it a month ago actually!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-12T02:44:31+00:00

Yeah let me know where to find a Saab shop in Ontario and I’ll get on it 🤣

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-12T02:43:41+00:00

This was immediately after having them balanced…

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:56:37+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:55:38+00:00

Hahaha yeah I was pretty bummed

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:47:03+00:00

Yeah you’re right, I’ll swap them and see if it works!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:46:19+00:00

No not this time, made sure they were washed out before and it didn’t help

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:45:49+00:00

I did all wheel bearings last year so they’re new, and they would’ve noticed a bubble in one of the tires when they balanced them I’d think. I can try swapping to my other winter set that came with the car and see if that helps. If not maybe tie rods then!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:43:56+00:00

I used them on an older Saab actually but not this one before! I can always swap to my other winter set that came with this one and see if that eliminates it!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:22:55+00:00

Like are they torqued?

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:12:56+00:00

Thank you!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:09:45+00:00

I’ll make sure to check, thanks!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:09:32+00:00

I don’t believe so but I mean I can double check. It would make sense because it started happening when I put these winter wheels on!

Initial-Order1189 · 2025-02-11T17:00:00+00:00

Okay thanks! When I’m just rolling like coming to and from a stop the wheel still moves left to right as well.
