I've been researching this heavily on this BB as I'm approaching my 60k, so hopefully this will save you some time.
You should consider replacing the 2 idler pulleys now, as many people find they don't last until 120k service. If they break, alot of damage can incur. Some people actually check to see if pulleys are worn or plastic cracked, then decide to replace. I say preventative maintenance goes along way, I'd hate to get stuck on the road (just like the DI cassette issue). I'd read that Euro Saab dealers replace both pulleys plus belt at 60k, only US dealers do belt only.
Same goes with tensioner pulley.
These are difficult to get at, so labor charge will be somewhat substantial. I'm going to do all 3 at 60k for peace of mind, then I got nothing to worry about for another 60k.
Hope this helps.
