Hi Leigh and others - I had this problem about a year ago with a GM V6 equipped SAAB 9000. The dealer I was using burned their way through a lot of money replacing head gaskets and finally fitting a replacement engine from a scapped car. The problem happened again with the new (to me) engine. Knowing that the dealer did not know what they were doing I set about fixing it myself. The dealer vowed never to touch another GM V6 again!
It proved to be the oil cooler as your dealer has said. You could bypass it but it was fitted to cool the oil! I fitted an external cooler in a similar way as the conventional 9000 4 cyl design. This involved some custom pipework. All is fine now. The details can be seen at http://www.kensnet.org/saab
