The biggest issue with a Saab 9-5 V6 with a bad timing belt is this is an interference engine meaning the valves and pistons will collide if the cam gets out of time (like when the belt breaks). If the belt broke while the engine was running, there is a high probability that some valves are bent. You would have to pull the heads and check or put on a new belt, time the cams, and check compression. It does take some special tools. Most are to set the crankshaft position and to lock the 4 cams into the proper position. There is another tool to set the cam-belt tension. As this board also recommends, replace the idler and tensioner pulleys. Again, the Saab my have severe engine damage from the belt failure. A new engine might be easier?
