Fairly straight forward, but you have to remove some the air intake 'plumbing' to the throttle housing and detach the AIC solenoid valve from the thermostat housing which is a bit fiddly. Use a genuine SAAB kit (includes the o-ring) and make sure that you put it in the right way up - there's a bleed hole and bung thing that must be at the top to prevent an air-lock forming. Don't be surprised if it takes you an hour the first time. > Why is there no filler cap on the radiator? Are you > actually supposed to dribble in the fluid thru the reservoir? Yes.
