No wonder the Saab is called the mechanics nightmare. This is my wife's car and a mechanic told her that if she loved me, she wouldn't ask me to replace her water pump (previous Saab), but I am now replacing the water pump in this '91 - the oil seal will probably have to wait til spring (no garage)- street mechanic. ...Jerry > > > Lance
