Courtesy of PMI, there is a section on the tensioner in this worthwhile reading.
No on the engine flush, but this is debatable...
Check the serpentine belt pulleys, they are more likely to need maintenance, may tick(but sounds are not a reliable diagnostic tool).

And, be most welcome to Saab Central,Davejohn:cheesy:

Please remember that the flush is debatable, and controversial.
Some, or many will say that the "mild flush", engine Rx ? will work, check this out on BITOG..
