At 95K, I've had to change the timing belt (standard change at the 65K service) and the balance shaft chain gearing.
At 52K you may be hearing the beginning of timing belt failure. Consider doing the 65K service early or, as stated in a previous post, have a Saab certified tech put his stethoscope to the front end of the engine. If the noise you are hearing has anything to do with the timing belt or balance shaft chain, you must repair it before the belt breaks or chain slips. Failure to do so will result in a blown engine. Not good and not pretty.
