Hello group, please don't flame me for posting about the belt! I know it should be changed at 60k.
So I just bought a '01 9-5 wagon with 103,000 miles for $3500. My wife loves the car but Saab doesn't have any record of dealer repairs so I don't know if the belt has been changed yet. I can't afford to get it done anytime soon though.
What are the statistics on belt life after 60k? Is there no possibility that the original belt could have made it to 103,000 miles?
And if you're running a belt with over 60k, how many miles are you at? If you've had one break, when did it break?
Thanks so much group!
