Thank you for measuring the belts. I learned not to trust what the label says on belts the hard way: someone (not a SAAB specialist) installed a supposedly correct "factory" belt on my previous 9000 and the tensioner shock absorber was stuck compressed at it's limit eventually breaking the top tensioner engine mount. Only then did I measure the belt and it was too short by almost 30mm.
On my present 2003 Linear SW I see the belt is the short one. It looks good but I like to keep a spare in the trunk. Is it possible to change the belt from above by removing only the engine mount? I could do that on the 9000.
Anders I think your're right that a 103" (2616 mm) belt will not work on the 9000. I tried a 101.5" belt on the 9000 and there wasn't enough tension.
