How often do you change the belt on a Saab 9-5?
Drop Down Navigation Menu by Vista-Buttons.com v4.5.0 This section talks about changing the serpentine belt and pulleys for the 4 cylinder engine. SAAB recommends changing the belt every 60,000 miles. The pulleys and tensioner are optional There are two belts available for the 9-5. The long one and the short one.
Why does Saab use a short serpentine belt?
