Timing belt replacement intervals are as follows:
1994-1996 900/9000 35K/65K/95K etc
1997 900/9000 65K/125K/185K etc
1998 No V6 in US
1999-2003 95 60K/120K/180K etc
Saab pays for scheduled belt change(s) under 100K. Original belts for 94-96 cars were discontinued and the new belt required a different tensioner pulley setup. There is a kit that includes the timing belt and tensioner/idler pulleys ONLY for the 900/9000. Saab only paid for the kit once and has since stopped doing that. Your 97 did not require the kit.
I ALWAYS suggest replacement of the tensioner and pulleys on ANY Saab V6 and now you know why. Not all of them will fail, but you don't want to be the one it happens to.
Just my opinion as I AM NOT a spokesperson for Saab,
Steve
