Have not heard of it on the 9^5. I am sure that a new pollen filter has been installed (has it?) and that it has not been identified as a engine coolant leak (heater core?) This is not a reported problem to my knowledge on the 9^5, but may be. Post your question on the Saabnet 9^5 BB. With a car that new, sounds to me like a Saab problem ;-0 Good luck, KeithG "Scott Turnamian" <wahoonopsamd.rr.com> wrote in message news:221bff75.0108071132.716cdd0fnopsaming.google.com... > Hi, > > This is a question which I believe has been addressed before but I > can't find the answer. > > I have a 1999 9-5SE.
