Chris,
my Saab was not overheating, but was just hitting the red sometimes. Anyhow I figured out, that one of the fans did not work - the shop replaced the fan. Also there is a newer three way valve (I think that is the word) which may help. However my car was still getting hot, but did not hit the red anymore.
Recently I had it in the shop and the mechanic told me that waterpump was leaking. He put in a new waterpump set (not a whole new waterpump) and all of sudden, the car does not get to hot anymore. Now the temperature is fine, even in the city.
Something else the mechanic changed (how tricky): Usually, there is one fan for the engine heat and one for the air-condition. In case the AC is not switched on, the AC fan will be used if the temperature hits the second treshold. Anyhow my mechanic put both fans to the first treshold.
Hope it helps after the damage has been repaired.
Wolf
