Changing the coolant
(Usually carried out as part of the Saab orig-
inal service by an authorized Saab dealer)
1 If the engine is hot, open the expan-
sion-tank filler cap carefully to release
the pressure, but do not remove it com-
pletely. Place a suitable receptacle
under the radiator and undo the drain-
cock.
2 Remove the filler cap on the expansion
tank.
3 The system takes about two minutes to
drain. Close the draincock.
4 Mix the antifreeze and water to the
required strength in a suitable container.
Use only Saab-approved coolant.
5 Add the coolant slowly to the expansion
tank. This will take about two minutes,
as the air needs time to escape.
6 Screw on the filler cap and fully tighten
the drain cook. Run the engine to normal
temperature. Top up the coolant, as nec-
essary, until the level is just below the
MAX mark on the tank.
7 Check the coolant again after a few days
and top up as necessary.
Brake and clutch fluid
Checking the fluid level
The combined brake and clutch-fluid reser-
voir is transparent to facilitate checking of
the fluid level.
WARNING
Brake fluid deteriorates as it becomes
old. Because it is hygroscopic, it absorbs
water from the air and, in time, could allow
vapor to form in the brake system, thus
reducing its performance. It is therefore
important that brake fluid be changed reg-
ularly, as specified in the service pro-
gram.
