This video shows how to inspect and replace the serpentine belt/poly-v-belt on a 4-cylinder gasoline-powered Saab 9-5, model years 1998-2010 (Engine types B205 and B235). If you have a squeak from the right-hand side of the engine, it might be that your serpentine belt needs to be replaced.
In this video, we also replace the upper idler pulley. We use a Mapco pulley and a Contitech 6pk2415 belt.
The procedure is similar for the 4-cylinder gasoline-powered Saab 9-3 with the black DI cassette, although the engine mount is different.

Tack för bra instruktions video! Tydlig och lugn 🙂
Thanks for the instructions. I have a '98 9-5. How do I access the tension pulley attached to the tensioner? Is it an allen wrench that is required to pull it off?
Detaljert og bra video! Thanks a lot; I do have to bookmark this site as I do have the same sound from the serpentine belt.
Hi!
That metal part with square cavity on 11:59–12:02 (I'm not sure how it's called in English) is visibly oscillating when my engine (B205E, 04' Saab 9-5 Kombi) is idling. Not sure if it is normal or if it's something to follow up?
hi ive been watching your videos nons stop i really am stuck on a problem with my 02 saab 95 turbo is there a way i can chat with you im in united states florida
The pulley on my water pump is bad where do you recommend getting aftermarket parts?
Skit bra info ! Men jag har en utmaning att få tillbaka den nya remmen. Har fått den på plats på alla hjul men inte det "sista" och man får vara gynekolog för att nå spännarehjulet för jag antar att det är det sista hjulet du menar att man skall lägga på. Jag har haft 9-5'an hissade & lagt på remmen bakom plasten osv, men får inte till det allra sista. Har du några tips hur man enklast får på sista hjulet? & vilket väljer man som sista ?
Jag har testat med det översta bakre, men även spännarehjulet i mitten bak.
Does anyone know if the belt from a 9-5 fit to a 9-3? The engine on the 9-3 is 2.0 185 HP.
I definitely noticed that I have this same symptom on my 06 9-5. The one thing that I did notice that was a bit odd was the belt tensioner was vibrating heavily (jumping back and forth a bit) i also noticed that at a stop/idle rpm that the steering wheel requires more effort to turn (almost as if I have no power steering). My question is how common/likely is it that the belt tensioner has failed as well (seems to be the case) and if it should be moving/vibrating at all.
Thank's for posting. Was wondering how to do this =)
Can i do the same with my 2001 Sabb Se
My 2001 9-3 pulley below the power staring is loose and cutting into the engine is this the same issue as the 9-5.
Awesome information
Great video. One important note. Some older cars will have pulleys with torx bolts instead of normal hex head. These strip very easily. Care should be taken to soak these with penetrating oil before trying to break them loose.
"(Engine types B204 and B234)" I believe you wanetd to say 205 and 235 🙂
204 & 234 were used on ng900 & 9000, even early 93s, but never on 95s, even if some people rebuild them to that.
Thanks for video 🙂
Gött att man hittat dig! Driv/Generator/multiremmen (alla kallar den olika) brast idag 🙁
