Agree with Anders. I have done too many WP jobs with the special tool only to have to end up pulling the timing cover to reset the BS chain tensioner. I quote WP jobs now with pulling the timing cover and at minimum balance shaft tensioner and the tensioner guide. Mileage and age of failures is all over the place for the tensioner guide, have not seen a tensioner fail alone. (2003 39k ; 2007 73k; 2006 131k etc)
Knowing the potential/common issues that can arise with a job is a benefit of going to a Saab specialist. Quoting a job at $1500 and billing $1800 is upsetting. Quoting $1800 and billing $1500 is a relief.
