Quick facts
- Part: Spectra Premium CU2080 radiator
- Fits: 1999-2002 Saab 9-3 4-cylinder 2.0L or 2.3L and other vehicles
- Material: Aluminum core, plastic tanks
- Condition: New
Coolant seeping from the tanks or core, a coolant level that keeps dropping or an engine that runs hot can mean the radiator is worn; check the level only with the engine cool. Before you replace the radiator, rule out a stuck thermostat, a leaking hose or a weak water pump, since each can also send the temperature up.
