Cooling system (long) Posted by Peter [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
My 96 SE turbo w. 95k miles almost burst the upper coolant hose a year ago, another small coolant leak now. In the past, the car chewed up two serp belts and three pulleys. Otherwise it is close to perfect condition now. I noticed that a complete set of coolant and heater hoses is less than $100 on eEuroparts.com. Thinking about replacing the lot when I finish the basic 95k service, along with the bad electric fan (low fan sp does not work) the short belt mod, and the battery.
I am not up to doing this in little stages, and ordering parts one at a time, so it is basically DIY all of it, or paying my mechanic to do it when the next part goes bad.
Wondering if anyone has done this using the Mackay hoses, or any other aftermarket source and any comments on Saab v. Mackay hoses? The Saab hoses must have been pretty good to last 90k miles, and a year with a faulty fan, even if the car does not appear to overheat.
Suggestions for other items to look out for at the same time (thermostat, waterpump o-rings, compressor...)?
