95 900s V6 NG, Heater hose deteriorated engine side leaving my wife stranded with one overheated car. This after only 65,000Km or about 40,000 miles. Cost around $170 USD for hose only!! It's a split arrangement. Also, the main radiator hose was sucking in on itself. It's a very long hose, and the roadside repair man said it was a commen problem similar to one that Mistsbishi had with one of their V6 sedans. Mitsubishi (Australia) did a recall and inserted a midlength aluminium joiner. Anyway, had that hose replaced also by SAAB, although the new one has a few different bends, perhaps to alleviate what is possibly a common problem? Davo
