You can't just look at the timing chain to determine if it's bad or not.
You would have to remove the timing chain tensioner and measure the lenght of it to get a hint of how worn the chain is. To even see the timing chain you need to remove the black valve cover on top engine and it would do you no good if not knowing what to look for.
This is no easy task for a person that have not worked that much on cars or engines before.
Don't get me wrong now, but from reading your questions I feel you haven't worked that much on cars and it would be best to have the car towed to the Saab mechanic.
Yes, an failing idler pulley or water pump, or even failing alternator or A/C compressor could create this sound.
