Hello

Is ther anyone out ther who can help. I have a 1998 Saab 9-5. I have a
recurring rubble/whinning noise problem. The noise tends to start when
accelerating brisky and begins when I reach around 50mph. I also get a
vibration through the accelerator pedal at the same time, If I lift off
the accelerator, the noise disappears instantly. I have been to a Saab
specialist but can not find a problem. Please somebody help. Driving me
mad. Thanks

Not sure what you mean by the noise but from the circumstances I'd want to check
the engine and gearbox mounts.

I just had my 99 9-5's engine rebuilt after a piston cracked. Long
before piston gave out, i too had a low rumble. I didn't know what it
was. The mech discovered that the gears on the balancing shafts were
missing several of the teeth. This caused the rods to be "less than
effective". Now that those are replaced and functioning properly, the
engine is much smoother.
