I can't memorize everyones year and miles....
If you have over 100K on the pump, for all of the work to remove the pump to replace 2 silly o-rings, you should replace the pump. You can get a the whole pump from the dealer, or the front half, gasket, and all the needed o-rings from WWW. I think I recall others getting this stuff from eeuroparts. You will be draining your coolant. My posts describe a zero spill method. But it is probably time for a flush and new coolant? If so a new stat makes sense and perhaps new heater hoses. Take heed of my cautions about trying to reuse the OEM clamps on the smaller hoses. And a strip of material under new gear clamps to keep the rubber hose jacket from being cut by the slits in the clamp bands is a real good thing to do. When you install new hoses, be sure to re-tighen the clamps after a while as the rubber relaxes under the clamps and you loose clamping pressure.
If you get a stat, make sure that it is the right temperature, its stamped in the stat body. Note that Saab parts have cooler stats packaged in the spec temperature packaging. Thats bogus!
