The 97 already have the "updated" tensioner from factory and "will not need" to have the tensioner and pulleys replaced at 65K service.
To bad the bearings in the pulleys are not aware of that they are of the newer, stronger type?
What I cannot figure out is why Saab decided to replace the timing belt for free on the 9-5 V6 at 60K when they don't check and replace the tensioner/pulleys which obviously are the parts that fail.
The belt is strong enough to last 100K.
