There's a fitting on it to let the air out; a Saab dealer or independant who works specifically on Saabs will be able to do it if you can't get it to behave. > My father tried fixing it but he is more like the tool man taylor.

LOL Um... if it helps, tell him some guy on Usenet says it's really really hard, and not something that he wants to get involved with. It's not too bad, really, but there's a knack to it. > Please if you know why the fan is not blowing and how to fix it, or > where to get it fixed and how much it might cost I would greatly > appreciate it. You're just a bit low on coolant, and the air bubble is settled in the highest point of the system (your heater core). Classic symptom is that it's OK when you're driving normally, but not at idle - just not pushing the water around as much at idle, so the buble stays in the heater core then. Should be a pretty cheap fix. If the mechanic doesn't know exactly what you're talking about when you describe the problem, find a different one. Hope this helps, Dave Hinz > PS my SAAB thanks you.... Nice car, isn't it...
