Saab 9-5 DIY: Serpentine Belt and Pulley Replacement - Trionic Seven
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- This video shows how to inspect and replace the serpentine belt/poly-v-belt on a 4-cylinder gasoline-powered Saab 9-5, model years 1998-2010 (Engine types B205 and B235). If you have a squeak from the right-hand side of the engine, it might be that your serpentine belt needs to be replaced.
In this video, we also replace the upper idler pulley. We use a Mapco pulley and a Contitech 6pk2415 belt.
The procedure is similar for the 4-cylinder gasoline-powered Saab 9-3 with the black DI cassette, although the engine mount is different.

Stort tack för uppladdningen, som verkligen kom till nytta idag när jag fick remhaveri under färd. Bytte ute på en industriparkering utan större bekymmer 🙂
Super good video. Den virkede virkelig for mig. Tusind tak fra Kalundborg Danmark
YES! thanks for uploading this, I've been meaning to do this in my Estate and now I feel more confident!
+Orange is the new fruit Hey, glad I could help! With the right tools, replacing the serpentine belt is actually not that bad. It was a pleasant job compared to the suspension work I did before ;)
Hade samma problem med gnisslet, gjorde som du i videon och problemet försvann, tack för en bra video.
Great video. One important note. Some older cars will have pulleys with torx bolts instead of normal hex head. These strip very easily. Care should be taken to soak these with penetrating oil before trying to break them loose.
+Alexander Harris I didn't know that, thanks!
Väldigt bra guide :) Nu vet jag exakt hur "komplicerat" jobb jag har framför mig :)
Tack för videon, jag lyckades göra det själv på min 9-5 från 2006. :)
Tack för videon! Stor hjälp!
Vad bra!
Tack för hjälpen och lärdomen! :)
Vassego ;)
Very informative. I think my serpentine belt gave out today and this gives me a good idea as to what needs to be done by the mechanic.
Thanks and good luck!
Not only did the belt give way but so did the water pump. It all got repaired.
Tack för bra instruktions video! Tydlig och lugn :)
Kul att du gillade det! :)
thank you very much 😊
Lugn och väldigt bra information 👍
Thanx!
Very nice explanation for replacing the S-belt. Garth Tirrell
Glad it was useful!
Very useful instructional video. About to do this myself. Thank you.
Legend great job, thanks really helpful
Great video! My little 1994 9000 will appreciate a new belt today! Thank you, keep it up. SAAB FOREVER! :)
Good luck, but remember that the 9000 and 9-5 have different belt procedures.
Thank you... excellent. Very well done. Tack så mycket
Merci!
Hade exakt samma ljud i min 9-5 07a(25500mil) innan jag bytte remmen och löprullen och nu är ljudet borta datum på remmen tydde på att den var från 2012 och 10000mil gammal ca. Det underlättade att veta ungefär vilket jobb som väntade mig tack vare din video. Det är nummer 2 av dina klipp som har gjort jobbet lättare att göra tack vare att man har en liten koll på hur det ser ut och hur mycket eve jobb det rör sig om.. sparade servopumpen till sista hjulet att få på remmen på den är ju nåbar uppifrån lättare att se vad man gör ochså..
This video was invaluable thank you. Got up early this morning and did the belt and pulley on my 02 9-3.
Bit easier on a 9-3, no Elk horn =)
Awesome! This probably helps other people looking here :)
Awesome! Just helped me fix my 9-5
Detaljert og bra video! Thanks a lot; I do have to bookmark this site as I do have the same sound from the serpentine belt.
Yep, sounds like you'll need to show that belt some love ;)
Great video Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by.
That top idler pulley is prone to failure after about 60 thousand miles. They fail like clock work after that. I started to change them on every Saab when I did the 60k "major" service. It prevents a most certain unexpected break down. Every Saab I purchase that has this setup, if there is no service record of when the idler pulley was replaced, I automatically replace it. Easy and inexpensive preventative maintenance. Who likes to get stranded?
Good points all around! Replacing the idler is so easy when everything is out.
Saab Tech can you tell the size of upper and lower pulleys for 1999 saab 9-5? Thx
Hiya, i did this today on my 9-5 saloon because of a squeak, thats gone now but it squeals intensely start up and the goes after 5 min. Do you know what could of happened? I pulled the metal pin out of tensioner belts on things and tight.
Have a -99 9-5 where the pullye in the middle has disapeared, can I just buy a new short belt from 2004- and skip the pullye in the middle, it’s very difficult to install a new one!
Hi m8 my pulley destroyed itself & ripped the belt to shreds :-( so got to sort it asap . 1997 9-5 . Thanks for the how to video m8y .
Good luck!
Been done for a while now m8 done its running sweet . Thanks for the video on it . cheers .
On a grammar point, 'Serpentine' is pronounced with a hard 'i' in the last syllable, not with a hard 'e'. It's named after the Serpentine lake in London as the belt's path around the pulleys is said to resemble the shape of the Serpentine lake.
If you need to change the tensioner pulley i find its easiest to remove the entire tensioner which you can do by using a sawed off 8mm allen key (insexnyckel) and than change the pulley when its off
I seem to be having an issue where I’m hearing a clunking noise in the same area you just replaced. Would I have to replace the whole belt tensioner?... just wondering cuz the noise is very obnoxious and sounds like a knocking noise but had nothing to do with the motor.-2005 Saab 9-5 aero 2.3t
Thank's for posting. Was wondering how to do this =)
Glad I could help! :)
Awesome information
+Lee-annmarie Sapountzis Thanks!
How hard is this for someone just doesn't know a thing about cars? I bought my saab 9-5 almost a year now and the Serpentine belt
came off while I was driving. It doesn't look like it's shredded, still looks in good shape but I haven't seen the full belt yet
My 2001 9-3 pulley below the power staring is loose and cutting into the engine is this the same issue as the 9-5.
Sounds like a bad belt or bad pulleys.
Hi!
That metal part with square cavity on 11:59-12:02 (I'm not sure how it's called in English) is visibly oscillating when my engine (B205E, 04' Saab 9-5 Kombi) is idling. Not sure if it is normal or if it's something to follow up?
It jumps around quite a lot, remember it's a 4-cylinder. It looks very smooth on video, but in reality it jumps all the time.
Thanks a lot! And thanks for your videos, keep up the great job!!!
Gött att man hittat dig! Driv/Generator/multiremmen (alla kallar den olika) brast idag :(
+TrocaderoKillen Trist att den gick sönder, som tur är går det hyfsatt lätt att byta!
Did you check alternator freewheel clutch?
Hej - hade du gjort jobbet tidigare? Vi står inför samma jobb själva men aldrig gjort det innan och är lite rädda... =)
Hola, muchas gracias por el video, una prgunta, se puede cambiar la correa sacando unicamente el guardabarro de plastico de la rueda derecha o hay que sacar la pata de motor tambien??, in spanish dont have the explication??, many thanks very didactic
I think you need to speek swedish or english to get help..
Hi, thanks for this video
I have a question unrelated to serpentine belt, though. What do you think is the big (oily) stain on the intake manifold seen at 5:16? I am asking as I recently got similar one.
Perhaps a leaking valve cover gasket. Very easy repair.
Thank you for this video, there are still a lot of people who likes Saabs and with fewer shops available to work on them at a reasonable cost, we often search for DIY instructions like yours clear and easy to follow. I have a 2000 Saab 9-5 2.3 liter turbo automatic. I changed serpentine belt and pulleys. I looking for instructions to change the rear motor mount. Used your video instructions for the front mounts but can't find anything in the rear for automatic. Any help would be appreciated.
The rear is by far the most difficult mount, but I've never done it myself so I haven't made a video of it, sorry!
Thanks for the instructions. I have a '98 9-5. How do I access the tension pulley attached to the tensioner? Is it an allen wrench that is required to pull it off?

"(Engine types B204 and B234)" I believe you wanetd to say 205 and 235 :)
204 & 234 were used on ng900 & 9000, even early 93s, but never on 95s, even if some people rebuild them to that.
Thanks for video :)
+Peter Chomanič (Rusnak) D'oh, what an embarrasing mistake. I thought 4-cylinder and wrote a 4 instead of 5. Will fix, thanks!
Får testa på min 9-3 ;)
Does anyone know if the belt from a 9-5 fit to a 9-3? The engine on the 9-3 is 2.0 185 HP.
This only depends on the length of the belt. Check the length of the 9-3 belt and compare to the number I gave in the video.
Did you do the water pump also ?
+Dilyan Yordanov No, the water pump is fine.
The pulley on my water pump is bad where do you recommend getting aftermarket parts?
If it's just the pulley I would choose aftermarket if the price is right. A pulley is only a metal thing, no bearings inside it.
Trionic Seven hi thanks for the reply earlier turns out the metal part (pulley) on my waterpump is moving alot it makes my serpentine belt come off, now do i have to replace the whole waterpump or just the metal pulley and do have a website that i can check out thanks again
I definitely noticed that I have this same symptom on my 06 9-5. The one thing that I did notice that was a bit odd was the belt tensioner was vibrating heavily (jumping back and forth a bit) i also noticed that at a stop/idle rpm that the steering wheel requires more effort to turn (almost as if I have no power steering). My question is how common/likely is it that the belt tensioner has failed as well (seems to be the case) and if it should be moving/vibrating at all.
It does vibrate, remember it's a 4-cyl engine so there will be belt vibrations. However, what you describes sounds very odd, and yes, the tensioner can fail too.
It's not just a vibration it's as if the tensioner is dancing around (i.e. where you insert your tool to release slack from the belt).
I have seen this on my car and vibration there i normal. However, it's hard to communicate over text how much movement is normal, perhaps your is dancing around too much.
So appreciative of all of your videos. My belt is starting to shred, and it is making a sound like a diesel (not a squeak). I have the the mount off, but ran out of light for the night. Will finish tomorrow. Is the idler most likely the problem? Does the tensioner pulley fail often? Is the tensioner as easy to replace as the idler pulley? Thanks!
Tensioner is more difficult I think. Check all the aux systems like the PS and water pumps, maybe they are going bad and taking the belt with them
It was the water pump. That fixed the problem. Thanks!
Klockrent, ska hjälpa en kompis med hennes 9-5 2004. Detta blir en utmärkt guide.
Tack så mycket. Our 2000 9-5 manual shift wagon just began to sqeal a bit, and I suspect a new belt and possibly pulley are in order. I have read that the crank shaft pulley will sometimes begin to degrade (something about the rubber interface between the crnkshft pulley and the attached AC pulley, where the crank pulley begins to slip. Is that worth checking out as well? Also, if you have it handy, can you point me to info on the short versus longer serpentine belt application you mentioned? If it's best to eliminate the belt from the pulley you mentioned, then I'll do it. Who knew the Saab had an appendix? By the way, your video is fabulously clear. -Nigel
Car manufacturers always change minor things in order to produce cars that are cheaper and more reliable. In my experience there is no reason for choosing the long belt anymore. It's really easy to change, and since the video was made I have learned how to do the replacement without having to lift the car. Anyway, the harmonic balancer on the pulley can go bad, but it's supposed to be a little hard to see if it needs to be replaced, and it's difficult to replace without an impact wrench. Do the belt replacement, use the short belt, and replace the top left idler pulley and you'll be happy :)
someone can tell the size of upper/lower pulleys for 1999 saab 95? Thx
Sorry, I don't know. Perhaps ask in our community forum? facebook.com/groups/733705113501723/
What is the torque specs on the upper pulley?
I think this site has info. www.eeuroparts.com/blog/7586/saab-9-5-serpentine-belt-diy/
Bra video, nu kan jag ta och göra det bytet på min Saab 9-5 Aero förhoppningsvis utan hjälp!
Har en oanvänd rem liggandes från planerat byte på den påkörda & inlösta 9-5 SportKombin jag hade tidigare, behöver bara köpa ny/nya spännrullar.
Go for it! :)
hi ive been watching your videos nons stop i really am stuck on a problem with my 02 saab 95 turbo is there a way i can chat with you im in united states florida
Hey! Glad you like the videos. I can't provide one-on-one help, but if you post to our Facebook page there are many people that could help! facebook.com/SevenTrionic
thanks
senter bolt on your engine mount, the 5th one should not be 50NM but 105NM
Thanks
tengo un 9.5 2,3 turbo automatico 1998
Can i do the same with my 2001 Sabb Se
This works for any Saab 9-5 1998-2010. Saab 9-3 is similar, but there are differences in engine mounts.
Thx bro
+Trionic Seven så de passar remmen från 9-5 till min 9-3a?
Om det är samma längd på remmen så passar den. Kolla att det är 6pk (bredden) och längden (anges i millimeter). Kan inte svara på om så är fallet, dock.
Too dark 🕶️ brother
