Hi Les:
Glad to hear you were able to get your rad replaced w/o major hiccups in your Linear wagon. Good job as usual!
This was a weekend for coolant system repairs for Saabs in Winnipeg it seems. My 1999 SE V6 water pump started rumbling a week ago. Thursday, I picked up a pump at Piston Ring (same as Catera and Saturn 3.0 L) for $105 after core return... not bad. I was out for an errand Saturday afternoon on my way home to do the pump install. Just minutes from home, THE OLD PUMP SIEZED UP and the serpetine belt was quickly scorched and snapped in about 30 seconds!
I was able to nurse the car home stopping a few times to let it cool down. As it is the battery almost ran flat from the 6 or 7 restarts and no alternator plus I ran the AUX interior heater off the battery to help cool the engine when it was off. That runs an electric coolant pump and the interior fan.
Anyhow, job is done and no leaks! Nice and quiet too, no rumbling pump bearing.
Cheers,
Reg
