Saab weird behavior

Big Nelly · 2010-07-12 20:39:48

Hi guys just got into my 05 Saab, tried to drive but it was like driving with a flat, steering was very unresponsive to a point I had to wrestle it, also the temp in car was going up very fast. I turned it off and let sit for a few mins. Then it drove no problem. Any idea's??

Im no expert but check your belt. It could be running your power steering pump as well as your water pump.
