My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out.
Thank you for taking the time to let us help you out with this problem and hopefully we can sort it out quickly.
Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem.
Sometimes it may take a moment for me to respond because I may have to look up information about your concern. I appreciate your patience and will provide responses as soon as possible.
If the [engine](/topics-engine-saab/) is seized then you would need to have it replaced. Of course I would not assume anything. You'll need to have the engine inspected to see if it is seized up. You can use a ratchet in a socket to turn the crankshaft pulley. If the engine spins freely then the engine is not seized and you just need to find the oil leak, fix it, and add some oil.
My goal is to give you the best service possible and to help you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know. If I’m not online at the time, I will respond ASAP when I get back.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
