Just got the call from the local Saab Indy......... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:09:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The old radiator had visibly gunked up internal passages, the new radiator is installed, and engine temperatures are normal. Whereas last week he was seeing around 230-235 degrees while driving about town with the A/C off, today he saw 180-190 degrees on the same loop.
I was a little remiss in changing out my antifreeze. :^( Whether my gunked up radiator was caused by this or simply a little bad luck I'll never know. The maintenance schedule says to perform this every 60K miles, I have done this three times in 280K miles making my performance was closer to every 90K for a drain & re-fill.
The only downside (besides the bill waiting for payment) is that it will now take longer to heat up my car in the winter!
