I pulled into work Monday morning with steam blowing out from under my hood. Popped the hood to find coolant squirting out of the small hose off the top of the coolant reservoir. You know, that rubber hose that bakes 2 inches above the turbo's exhaust housing. The part is on indefinite back order, at a cost of $27. Just for haha's I had my Saab dealer order the NG9-5 2.8 equivalent (p/n 13220153), which for some ungodly reason IS in stock. It was $5.82 and even came wrapped in corrugated heat shield. The nipple on the reservoir is bigger and the hose took some persuading to get on, but it works! For $5.82, it might be a worthwhile preventative maintenance measure.
