Hello to all saabers
my dad's 9000 auto CSE has a leaking expansion tank. That thing started spraying out badly. Couldn't get a replacement fast enough so for the meantime was adding water in because the losses of fluid were pretty bad. Finally received the new tank and drained all the water/coolant out and refitted everything.
A few minutes after startup the white smoke out of the tail pipe just wasn't going away. It was very misty/ light rain yesterday so I assumed it was that. But the car has a hard time restarting and I can see white smoke/steam also wetness appearing between the turbo and downpipe connection.
Before I blame the turbo for a coolant leak, I am sort of leaning towards a head gasket here cause by a properly pressurized cooling system?
what do you think? any other way to diagnose a headgasket? Oil is nice a brown.
150K but this is not the original motor, nor turbo.
