did u over heat the engine ,if yes ,did u already remove head from car ,for your mechanic to tell u that u need a cylinder head ,note the water pump is driven by the engine balance shaft chain & if the coolant ran low the info would have come up on your display screen ,did he check if both engine cooling fan are working & if the engine coolant thermostat is good ,best tto send cyl head to machine shop to have them pressure test head for cracks & warpage ,cause i have done a lot of them that have ran hot till the car just come to a stop engine jammed cause of the heat & the head most of the time comes back good ,& there is other time that it is just a thermostat with no head gasket replaced ,so check it out really good ,is your mechanic familiar with saabs .
