temperature and low rpm. I am assuming that a water pump work was done lately ... I am at lost why saab decided to drive the water pump off the balance chain ... yeah to save a pulley probably while adding more complexity to the design ... they should hire people from IKEA when it comes to Design for Simplicity and low maintenance.
Check the viscosity of the your oil ... if 5w30 think about moving to 20w50 to mask the embarrassing noise while at a red light next to a honda/toyota/etc
Some here have suggested to check the balance (or timing ???) chain tensioner yet I have no clue about its location and accessibility SAABSITE has a writeup on the topic.
At this rate SAAB could stand for Saabs Are Always Broken ...
