Saab 9-5 Aero 2001 88,700km (mileage)

Whilst driving to work this morning at the legal speed limit (120kph) on a straight country road, the Engine Malfunction Light came on as well as the TCS OFF light. When the ignition is switched on without starting the beast, a "tik-tak-tik" sound from the engine bay can be clearly heared for +_5 sec.

Sandton Saab Johannesburg, South Africa technical gurus intimates it could be the throttle body (part # 9188186).

Anybody out there who can confirm this? At South African Rand 7,753.53 outside the warranty and maintenance plan pricey.

Hi Daniel and welcome to Saabscene

I'm going to move your post to the 9-5 section where it's more likely to get an answer.
