Re: 1999 9-5 Serpintine belt Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Thu, 8 Mar 2007 08:49:33 In Reply to: 1999 9-5 Serpintine belt, JasonG, Thu, 8 Mar 2007 06:21:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The only big issue on many 9-5s going to a short belt is that you get vibrations from the power steering pump.
Of the cars I converted to short belt when Saab came out with it 2 1/2 years ago, I have pretty much gone back to the long belt on all of them.
It is a lot easier to install the short belt since you don't need to mess with that lower idler pulley at all, but since this vibration issue is so strong, I cannot install it due to that the customer is unhappy with the result.
