1985-1998 [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
The Saab of this vintage has a direct reading gage. and 10 o'clock is not hot! it is approximately 97-103 C the bottom of the red zone is 121 C just above 10:00 is 113 C still avcceptable. Saab wants the car to run at arounf 110C for optimum engine performance and environmental excellence. The problem comes when your two speed fan doesn't kick in at around 10:00 or 113 C. The fan should not run at 70 MPH and the normal temp shown on gage with 25-30 C ambient is around 9:00 -9:30 with AC running and set at 23 C. The two stage Saab stat is the only thermostat you should consider they can be obtained at Car quest for less than $9.00 with special gasket ring ( but you must buy the gasket separate- $1.00.)
