Get the timing belt done ASAP. There was a post a couple of months ago where an owner's timing belt failed at 59K miles and SAAB refused to pay for the engine damage. Valves crash into the pistons if the cams get out of time. While they are in there, you might have them replace the water pump. Mine failed at 50k miles on my 2002 Arc V6. I've seen water pumps way inexpensive on Ebay. Sort for Catera or Saturn water pump and you may find a good deal. Saturn and Catera use basically the same engine. Now will a Dealer install a water pump that you supply? Don't know the answer? Although SAAB pays for the belt and labor, the tensioner and idlers plus labor will still cost you in excess of $500. And whoever does the work better know exactly what they are doing or the new belt could fail from net being setup and tensioned correctly.
