It snapped while doing about 50 I never had one snap on me before so it scared me lol but was relieved when I realized it’s the belt. Anyways there was power steering fluid on my cars undercarriage and also found few things I’ll show in photo. I’m just curious to what else I could have broken...

Just picked up my 2005 Saab Arc Wagon today from Kenosha, Wisconsin and drove it all the way back to Columbia City, Indiana. Let me say, I am amazed at these cars, they are fantastic and I am hooked on Saabs for sure!! However, halfway through the trip, I noticed an odd sound coming from the...

Hi guys, I have had a whining sound from my accessory/serpentine belt area for a long time now. Pretty sure I isolated it to the alternator. I was due for an accessory belt change, and I decided to go with the "alternative short belt" that is just slightly longer than the original short belt. I...

Howdy. I did a short serpentine belt replacement on my 1998 900 (minus that one pulley), but can I also do a short belt conversion on my 2001 9-3?

Working on my MIL's 2001 SAAB 9-5 [Outback- oops had Subaru on the brain] Wagon 2.3 l with 144K miles (purchased used a few months back - so no history). :( I am only in town (Raleigh-Durham, NC) till Sat . I hope to resolve this ASAP. :o Do not have Service Manual, but will order digital...

I tried the search function and couldn't find anything specifically about the 2003 3.0t Arc, so I figured I'd just ask. In a matter of 4 minutes, I heard a squealing noise (belt shredding), lost power steering, and overheated (pouring coolant out of all over the road). Of course, the...

My serpentine belt broke down. It just came off the car like a pair of torn panties falling down . It looked like it was torn out on the edge. The edge had a raw cut and hairs from it were shooting out. On a "do it now & leave " basis - I hunted around for replacements for the pulley . The...

I spent around an hour searching this forum for the answer to my problem. My AC bearings went out a few months ago and my Saab has been sitting ever since. I knew from prior vehicles that it is possible to bypass the AC unit. The only thing I could find on this site were bypass mods for Saab...

So I'm going to put the second (middle) pulley back in and go back to the long belt... There were no instructions on which washer goes which way against the pulley. Does anyone have any hints/pics to help? Cheers!

Hey guys, 97 900 SE 2L Turbo. I've got a pretty loud noise coming from the belt area (kind of a rattle/scraping noise). My stethoscope says it's coming from the upper idler pulley, although I suspect the tensioner pulley and alternator pulley might not be doing so hot as well. My...

Hello. I have a Saab 9-5 2000 V6. About two days ago I had a much-needed oil change and the mechanic said he was a bit concerned about a slight leak. Not seeming too concerned, I've driven it since, just making sure to check the oil each day. Today, it was idling in the driveway 5 minutes...

Hi guys, My AC compressor is probably faulty (I need to check fuse & relays). That's they said at the mechanics. To bypass the AC compressor, is there a way to install a short serpentine belt? I've seen a lot of posts on the OG93 but mine is a MY2006 1.9 TiD 93 (Z19DTH engine) but not for this...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, but need advice. I have a 2002 Saab 95 3.0T Arc . I just got the car back from having the crankshaft position sensor replaced after having starting and stalling issues. The car was doing fine and then two days later I'm driving down the road and hear a loud thud and...

I am having the most incredibly awful time trying to replace my idler pulley. The space is extremely tight and no standard tools seem to fit in the space provided. Is there an access panel anywhere? I have tried cutting down a 6mm allen wrench and i got it to fit in the space but still no...

Does anyone have a used belt and pulley they are willing to part with for the cost of shipping?

My 98 9k cse turbo has developed an interesting problem. It stalls occasionally but only after it is warmed up. From a cold start, there is no stalling. At first I thought the stalling was related to the IAC so I cleaned it using the procedure I got here. Now, I have come to realize that the...

Hey all, When listening the my engine (1991 Saab NA), my belt seems to be making a fair bit more of noise than what i consider "normal". It seems to be from the AC unit that is currently not in use. I dont know if it needs a recharge or just has a leak. Anyways, is there a lubricant i can put...
