and I was also part of the brutally cold out club when it happened. No warning noises from the system, and the belt was younger. I was also a member of the "oh, you're another one" club at the shop. First time I've had a total breakdown in any vehicle since the early '80's, (which REALLY pissed me off)
My guess is that you are best to do it going before the cold season, and I'd probably do them 3-4 years / 60K or whenever you change the belt, but that is a gut feel w/no hard data.
Other's may have a more informed opinion, but frankly SAAB should add the pulley's to the maintenance schedule.
