Oh, I took it to the dealer this morning. It has the new 2.8 ltr V-6 with the water cooled turbo. The car has about 7000 miles is all. I heard that the 9-3 Sport Combi Aero has a problem with the reservoir cracking, but the 9-3 Sport Sedan didn't. I would seem to think that the 9-3 Aero SS or SC have the same coolant reservoir. My dealer is very good. They actually demanded I bring it to them today. I will keep you advised as to the problem and the fix.
