Just an update of an earlier post about coolant loss. Thought it was fixed and then radiator started leaking at right-end cap. Ordered a Nissens and they were out so was sent an APDI, number 8012924. This job wasn't rated as fun. Got it apart OK but getting the new radiator back in was a challenge. The intercooler is held but the same brackets that secure the radiator from under the car. I took the brackets off, but took the radiator out through the top. The new radiator wouldn't fit because on the right-end cap there were 2 mounting brackets that faced forward and stuck out. These hit the intercooler so no way to install the radiator. Got out my Makita multi-function saw and cut off the brackets. Then trying to install the radiator, the intercooler kept falling out of the mounts so used a floor jack to hold the intercooler in position and then the radiator popped right into the mounting holes. Got it all together and coolant installed. Then the little hose from the t-stat extension housing to the water line that goes to the turbo was leaking. Back apart again and ended up installing a worm-gear hose clamp. Test drove and so far, OK. Might have voided the warranty on the radiator cutting off the brackets but no other options on a Saturday. No one in the Portland area had a radiator for a SAAB V6. 7-10 days backorder. Oh well, IIWII.
