My recollection is that this is a well known
problem with some, but not all, 1999s getting out
of the factory without a proper torquing. Somewhere
at Saabnet.com, you may even find the acutal range
of affected serial numbers quoted.
That wasn't an expensive repair. It cost about the
price of a tank of gas for me.
On my spotting a coolant leak, the dealership wanted
to replace the head gasket and valve sleeves. Before
I got the car in for that, I checked here and discovered
it was probably just the torquing I needed.
Of course, I cancelled the parts order. This simple
torquing fixed the problem.
