Hello all! I am finally back in the Saab fold once again after just recently picking up a brilliant 2002 9-3 SE and have been a grinning driver for the past few weeks. However, I have noticed upon a cold startup (cold meaning not driven for at least 5-6 hours, local air temp has been in the -5 celsius range) I get a squeeling/wailing noise coming from what appears to be the front passenger side of the engine. It's not as high-pitched as a loose belt, but it makes me think of a noisy water pump that tries to kick in on a very cold day. But after maybe 5 minutes of warming up, the noise fades away and eventually disappears. So I suspect if a pump was failing it was be a continuous noise. Any thoughts fellow Saabsters? Thanks, Taflet
