I have been having the same problem since I bought my car a month ago. It runs fine around town, but gets very close to overheating at freeway speeds. First I took my car to Paul Vail of Absolute Saab in Encinitas, CA. He replaced the thermostat and the fan switch so they would both be calibrated to 82 degrees celcius. He also adjusted the mixture of antifreeze to water. Well the problem continued and so I had a heater bypass put in two days ago which fixed the coolant leak Paul Vail did not tell me about. The overheating problem persists and I do not want to put even more money into the car. Part of the overall issue is that I have a 3 speed automatic which tends to rev higher than a 5 speed manual at 70 mph.(creating more heat) I am going to sell the car and buy a five speed. If anybody is interested it is a
1988 900 Turbo 16 valve automatic with no A/C and a broken odometer. Decent red paint. Located in San Diego. $2200 obo.
