Hello everyone, I recently bought my first car from a colleague : a brand new 325000km Saab 9-3 from 2004, with the 2.0T engine and 'most' of its 210hp. I, however, am having several issues with the car that I will list here in the hope one of you could help me.
The first issue is with the optics. My main beams are very dim on the right and inexistant on the left, while all the other lights are normal. The connection on the right is heavily corroded so that answers why it's off, but I don't understand why the right is not fully working.
The second issue I'm having is in the cooling system. I know there is a slow leak on the water pump gasket, but while going to work this week, I heard a loud pop, then white smoke came out of the hood. I think one of the tubes got disconnected and spilled coolant on hot parts, but I can't find where it's from exactly. Now the coolant tank just empties right on the road.
If you see other issues let me know, and thank you all for the help !
It's really great to finally be able to drive one of these cars !
