What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Saab?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.

Can Saab 9000 radiators be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Saab 9000 radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

What can cause my 9000 to overheat?

One of the main reasons your Saab 9000 engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.

My 9000 radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up?

If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your 9000. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.

There’s rust in my 9000 radiator. Should I be worried?

Yes. Rust in your Saab 9000 radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure. Left unchecked, rust can damage the radiator's cooling passages causing small holes or cracks in the radiator. Maintain your radiator system to help prevent rust.

When Does My 1992 Saab 9000 Radiator Need Service?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Saab 9000 radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it’s vital to know what to look for. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1992 Saab 9000 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Saab recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
