My Saab is a 2000 and it had an oil leak. When I say died on me it wouldn't start back up until jumped it.

It just knocks real loud like a lifter or something. I had it towed home. I owe 7900 on it is it worth fixing?My Saab is a 2000 and it had an oil leak. When I say died on me it wouldn't start back up until jumped it.

Well did your car die on you while driving? If so and the ';knocking'; noise is excessively loud, then you might have spun a main bearing on the crankshaft. If this is the case there is alot of work to be done, and with the money you still owe on the vehicle I would suggest you find someone who knows what they're doing mechanically to swap an engine. Saab parts are not cheap and I can only imagine what a engine would cost for it. Depending on where you live, you might be lucky and find a descent engine at a salvage yard. If this noise is minor however, then it could be something as simple as a bad lifter or broken valve spring.
ABSOLUTELY!! fix it. you can replace the motor if you have to! the battery or the alternator are bad. it is probably just making a noise because the oil is low!


ps i am a mechanic
