💡 Top tip: when the old belt is off, clean the pulleys with brake cleaner or alcohol.
The specified service interval for the belt is 60,000 miles OR 4 years.
💡 Top tip: I recommend you inspect the belt each time you change the engine oil and replace the belt if there are any signs of splitting or cracking irrespective of mileage.

Hola soy nuevo en estos carros acabo de comprar uno
Worked a treat 🎉 took me about 25 mins and I picked the only part of day that rained to do it 😂
Hi cyd
I was sceptical.....but...
I followed this yesterday, to change
My belt, absolutely worked like a dream. Thanks buddy, great tip.
Nice 👍
Worked like a charm. Didn’t have the proper size crow bar. Used a shorter Stanley pry bar and it worked just as well. Thanks for the vids. They help me keep two 2008 9-3’s on the road. 2.0 with 251,000 miles and an Aero with 176,000
Literally saved me around 100$ in time and super simple to fallow, thanks for the amazing video
wow, nice tutorial. I'll keep this in my favorites and see it again when I need to do it.
I had given up on this project after looking at this only from above. Your video made me want to try again and it worked out great! Thanks a lot!
Gping to try this in the morning as my belt has come off completely 😂
Hey Cyclone Cyd, omg wish you had released this video a week ago... my serpentine belt snapped while driving up the suffolk coast around 4pm, RAC tried to fit a belt he had in the back of his van but could not release the tensioner to do so... ended up being towed back to essex and forking out £100 for a local garage to fit it... just my luck... never mind... thanks again for all your videos, they are always informative and straight to the point... keep the Saabath dream alive..
Crikey, what rotten luck. Check your belt regularly.
@@CycloneCyd the car had its m.o.t which it sailed through and a service a month age and it wasn't picked up... definitely gonna check it more regularly now..
Did mine a very similar way except with a length of wood and just pushed up on the bottom of the tensioner. Doing it on a pit garage made it a bit more difficult as your shoulder becomes the jack but worked a treat.
Nice work 👍
Same here, used a bottle jack and a piece of wood, i tried making a tool thin enough to fit in the narrow space but it bent after a few attempts...
Thanks again ,that was pretty easy apart from the obligatory snapped off plastic nut but wheel arch ain't going anywhere as all the other 8 ml bolts were fine.
I've a vectra with the z20net engine (b207) and I was intrigued to watch this and then tell you about the time I changed mine with a crowbar and jack and that the curve of the crowbar makes it mega easy to remove and fit the belt 😁 looks like I've got no need to now.
Nah, no need anymore 😂👍. Great minds think alike, eh?
We need to support this guy
I really love all of your cool technic.
Thanks for sharing the video with us :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for excellent video!!!
I will try to replace it.
Have a nice weekend!
Let us know how you get on 👍
Thanks for those very clear instructions.
Life saver, thanks for this, great vids.
No problem!
Love the new method for releasing the tension!
Also in this video you mentioned that you were replacing the air compressor clutch, did you make a video of this ?
Thank you again, Paul…
Wow, genius! I've seen a dew videos about this, and yours looks like it's effortless 😁
Did your Saab had a strange noise before replacing this belt?
Thank you so much for your video! I’m in the US and this trick was exactly what I needed this morning. Made this a pretty quick job.
Glad it helped!
easy way thanks
Most welcome 😊
Thank you!
Have you ever done a video to replace the belt tensioner itself on the B207
hi my Tube friend .. wrong belt pk 5 .1030 its pk5.1028 . i just got mine from a saab garage in sweden but maybe 1030 fit no prob tension it enuf but good video
The 4 digit number is the length of the belt. I can't imagine 2mm will make much difference. PK51030 is what is listed in Gates catalogue
Any recommendations for belt size on a 08 Saab 9-3 1.9 tid 150bhp automatic estate ?
Hi
Did you do a video on the compressor clutch replacement?
I have a saab 1 9 diesel 2006 the steering keeps going stiff both garages said it was a fault with the wiring to the electric power steering one said it was carrodedthe other it was a loose connection steering worked for a while then went stiff I replaced battery worked for a while then went stiff the saab forum suggested it could be a faulty alternator or fuse link have you any thoughts oil as been changed and no leaks
Thanks for all the great content! I’ve got the 2008 2.8 aero fwd. I’ve been reading some posts stating that I have to remove engine mounts to replace the serp belt. Do you have any knowledge of this? Also when I accelerate hard I get a bit of sputtering. Replaced coils and plugs. Could it be the turbo or pcv valve. Thanks you!
I've heard that too, but have no experience to draw on with that engine.
Boost leak? Check the pipes, splits are not uncommon
What yr is yours… mine is 1999 and I dont think its matching….
Oh, thats the GM motor ... no good to me. Lol, I was wondering how the heck the air pipe from the turbo went the wrong way.
Cyd I need help! My NG 9-3 key barrel won’t pop up and unlock the door when I take the key out and my headlights stay on and I can’t lock the door with the fob
key barrel? What key barrel?
Great job as always.
Cyd I have asked you on Pcv valve video, you didnt see my question, so I will ask you again here...
On some forums people say that it is safe to block inlet pcv hole( saab, cobalt forums), it stops oil getting in manifold and loosing oil and boost... Adding oil catch can on turbo side baffle helps too. Do you think it is safe to do that?
Sorry I didn't see it, but here goes:
In my opinion? NO NO NO don't do it.
A powertrain Engineer could write an essay the length of War & Peace, but I will make one point only: There will be NO through flow in the crankcase. Blow-by fumes will only escape by being forced out. You will end up with excessive combustion product and unburnt fuel in your sump oil, so the oil will not last as long and if not changed very frequently will eventually lead to various failures due to contamination or lack of lubricity.
@@CycloneCyd Thank you very much answering my question. And thank you for making our lives easier to maintain our cars with help of your videos. 🍻
@@Aero93 you need to fit a catch can between the crankcase and the manifold. And, how do I do that? I hear you cry.
I'm having a replacement head soon and will fit one to my car - there'll be a video but you'll need to be patient as the head needs work first
@@CycloneCyd Wow, looking forward. Waiting patiently 👍
Hi, did you change the timing chain cover gasket? I see you have some oil mark at the bottom corner on the cover? I was planning to replace the belt last week and I found out there is leaking oil at the same spot.
No. First fit a new PCV valve (czcams.com/video/ro0CN6SdD5s/video.html), then tighten down all the screws holding the cam cover (10mm socket), bet ya some are loose.
@@CycloneCyd What does PCV valve has to do with timing chain cover gasket oil leak? If you suggest to change it 50-70K miles. I have 123K miles and need to change it.
@@imanwan2861 explained in the video!
@@CycloneCyd I still don't understand it after watch the video couple times. If that PVC value blocked, the oil will leak from timing chain cover? How can you tell if PVC value is blocked?
@@imanwan2861 not if the valve is blocked, but when it won't seal the manifold boost from the crankcase.
Only way to tell if it's blocked is to inspect it - by which point you might as well replace it
It is not a 3/8 for the tensioner pully its a 1/4.Sadly you had my son under misinformation and messed up his tensioner. You need to know what your talking about before spreading fraudulent information. Saabs are hard enough to work on let alone you given bad info.
It's 3/8. Which, by the way, is BIGGER than 1/4, so there would be no way for your son to mess up his tensioner if the tensioner were 1/4, because he wouldn't even be able to get a 3/8 into the hole to round it off. Sounds like your son tried to use a 1/4 tool in the 3/8 and rounded it, not the other way around.
