Thanks gang, not what I wanted to hear but sounds like folks have been there before and also have read posts about head retourquing due to factory problem? I did use Saab T-stat for what that is worth.. and was not aware of any spewing problem before changing t-stat, but assume that was why blew hose and overheated.. Do I recall reading that up to a certain year or VIN SAAB (or others?) recommend new head bolts? Also noticed today appears to have coolant spraying from front of engine hitting fan shroud, it looked wet from where small coolant hose connects to metal tube, but since blowing from cap also, probably spewing from head gasket in front? still not losing much coolant, but losing it nonetheless.. will definitely try retightening head bolts first.. need to find out the correct tightening pattern mentioned and tourque
thanks for all the input...
