Re: Saab 9000 V6 Timing Belt Failure Posted by Rob [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Saab 9000 V6 Timing Belt Failure, Mike Reimbold, Tue, 9 Nov 2004 13:51:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Check your invoice from the dealer to see if they replaced the belt tensioner. They should have used the new tensioner kit. The part number of the updated kit is #4773842, the original old one is #4623906 or #4770509 depending on engine serial number. This new tensioner is what allows the belt change period to be extended from 30k to 60k miles. My dealer screwed this up and the belt broke within two weeks of change at 65k. They ate the cost of two new heads and a month of loaner car. If your "new" belt looked unchanged to the Indy it might be because the old tensioner started chewing up the belt right away.
