Yep. I got my car back from a regular service and the next day the coolant leaked out of it (which I only realized in hindsight). This was in winter, and the car was so toasty I had to run it with the a/c on to keep the temp in range. This worked for about 2 weeks, though the air never really cooled down. Then the car locked up.
The head had to be rebuilt - this was like a $2000.00 job but the service guy at the dealer did some kinda hand-waving magic with SAAB and the factory paid half the bill, and the dealer and I split the other half. So I got a rebuilt head for like $500.00. Plus I got to drive a new 9-5 for a week. Sweet lil car, that 9-5...
Fortunately, I didn't throw a rod. After all, it was only coolant that was missing, not oil. Phew!
