Help PLZ! New to Saab and needing some advice
So my 02 Passat died with 220k on it and I decided to go with a Saab 95 as I've always loved them . It's a 2001 9-5 linear it currently has 133k and I'm hoping to get another 100k out of it. I have the maintenance log showing maintenance done at George's Imports in KC where I live up to 85k, then I have no records for the 40k from previous owner, I'm assuming it wasnt maintained the best as I've had to change oil and air filter and neither looked good. right now I'm getting a small amount of smoke on cold startup with a very slight bluish tint...not sure if its valve seals or turbo at this pt basically
I'm wondering what all I should do at this point. it had the famous ignition cassette changed by previous owner. I'm thinking sludge cleanout and pcv replacement and possibly timing belt-not sure if there's an easy way to get to it to check how is looking or if it's a pain like on some vehicles. Plz some advice on what you would do....I can do things brakes rotors alternators, even put in a clutch (given it was RWD) but I don't have a lot of time to spend so bigger jobs I'd take it to a shop or have my friend who's a mechanic do it at my house. anyone live near KC that can recommend a goodshop...so far I've only seen Saab Dr and George's imports, and I believe the Dr. is cheaper.
I love the car so far....I've already removed the SID and sent it in for repair and will do my alarm net as it has been sporadically going off....atleast it was before I removed the SID not sure if I've is been lucky or if they're somehow connected...I know I lost all the steering wheel controls when I took it out...I trk to iron the ribbon but only a few pixels came back. Any advice would be very much appreciated....thx! Obj also want to add that's it's cooling of here and the car is hard to start in the morning...not real bad, but its takes a couple seconds....the manual said that could be normal in winter, but its only fall here. Main concern is the smoke and also sludge as a clogged pickup tube caused the demise of my vdub although that was due to altogether bad design. thx in advance
