    Mot due in a month. I have not seen any feedback from fellow threaders reference the DPF / diesel emissions. Am I correct in assuming that our Saabs have been getting through the 'new' MOT's with to many issues?

    Whenever I go over 2200revs it makes a higher pitch noise than the engine. Sort of whirring sound maybe? My dad thinks possibly a tensioner and brothers said bearing. Sound start similar time the turbo kicks in.

    My A/C compressor has given up the ghost (the rivets sheared on the clutch plate, thus not engaging, I tried taking it off and refitting (bodging) with screws fitted and it worked for a couple of weeks then packed in).
