Between 1 and 2nd HG, did you blow a hose/radiator Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 3 head gaskets in 6 months?, bgant, Fri, 12 Dec 2003 13:11:25 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
and badly overheated the engine?
If so, it's not the mechanics fault for the second head gasket job.
If nothing like that happened, it is a chance that your 2.1 L engine have serious corrosion damage to the engine cast iron block and no new head gasket in the world is going to seal toward that bad engine block surface.
The mechanic should have told you if so were the case and recommend a new engine block.
Saab have a fix bulletin out with reparing the corrosion damage with JB weld, I do not beleive in that repair and would never do that on my customers cars.
As for your problems right now, if the coolant level in reservoir doesn't drop, you don't have a coolant/head gasket leak.
Maybe you need a new set of ignition parts (cap, rotor, wires and spark plugs)
