I took my car to the shop today and told them that my check engine light has been coming on, particularly on cold starts. I also told them that it usually idles roughly on first starting up, then runs normally after a while. They ran tests on it and told me that the car has what is commonly known as the 'intake valve problem common on 07-11 SAAB 9-3's' they have given me an estimate of $2400 to replace the intake valves. From research, this appears to be an issue that owners have been having for years now. The car has 93,000 miles on it, and is a 2007 9-3 2. 0t sedan.
