What was the problem with the Ecopower Saab?
Ecopower cars prior to 2002 were prone to sump sludge problems resulting in premature engine and turbo failures, which tarnished the model name thereafter.

How does the Trionic system work on a Saab 9-5?
Saab’s Trionic engine management system (brought in on the 9-5’s predecessor, the 9000) uses a single ECU to control timing, fuel injection and boost control. Feeding data back to the ECU is a coil-on-plug coil pack called a DIC (Direct Ignition Cassette) that gives the spark plugs an additional sensory role.
What kind of diesel does a Saab 9-5 have?
The first entry-level diesel was an Alfa-derived 1.9. In 2002 this became an Opel Ecotec 2.2 and then in 2006 a Fiat 1.9 JTD. In 2004 the B308 low-pressure turbo 3.0 V6 that powered Griffin models gave way to a turbo four producing 220hp, which – given that the big turbo V6 only produced 200hp – was not a bad move.
Is the Saab 9-5 getting a second facelift?
A second facelift for 2005/6 cars was less subtle than the first. Lots of GM bits started to appear in the cabin.
What kind of DIC does a Saab 9-5 use?
The Saab 9-5 uses a Direct Ignition Cassette (DIC), which wears over time so make sure that it is replaced in a timely fashion since the data sent from this module needs to be correct to not risk your car running rich, lean, or misfiring. This is also why it is particularly important to use an Original part when replacing it.
