Classic Saab 9-5 (MY 1998-2010) / 9-5 2.2 TiD error code P0244 solved

« on: 28 June 2014, 11:02:42 AM »

Hi All,

had the following error code last week. Symptoms were loss of power when engine revved above 3000rpm (limp mode) and only resolved when the MIL is reset.

The diagnostic code was P0244 and relates to the turbo solenoid. On checking the forums this appears to also relate to faults with vacuum tubing that link the wastegate, solenoid and other related tubing.

On checking he tubing today, I noted that one tube had disconnected from an assembly close to the EGR valve. Once reconnected, the problem was solved.

I hope find this post useful when trying to solve P0244 error codes.

Classic Saab 9-5 (MY 1998-2010) / 9-5 TiD smokes on startup

« on: 04 July 2011, 09:02:58 PM »

Hi All,

my 2005 TiD with 76K on the clock is becoming increasingly smokey on start up. When it fires there is a big cloud of light blue smoke that stops immediately the engine has fired. This is not repeated for the rest of the day.

The car uses no oil between services and the gargae has made no comment when the car goes for the annual service and MOT.

Do I need to worry? I usually like to replace items before failure.

I'm thinking oil leaking from Turbo or valve seals into the engine during overnight period. Else that the preheat isn't working correctly and the smoke is badly burnt diesel. The car is a bit lumpy when first starts.

Does anyone have a similar experince with this engine??

Thanks
