Just did this job last weekend on my 2004 9-5 with 80k miles and had done it 2x on my 1999 9-5 once at 60k and then at 120k with pulley replacements. My .02 on this :
- at 80k and 8 yrs belt wore evenly with small cracks over the entire innerside, I always apply belt dressing at every other oil change to keep belt from drying out.
- I used a Goodyear belt as replacement, I think they call it a Gatorback and it went on a bit easier than the Hutchinson used on my 1999.
- I made the mistake of buying new pulleys for the 1999, but now I just remove them, inspect clean and regrease them. IMO the pulleys are expensive and the old ones are easy to repack
- Draw a diagram of the belt so you know how to route the new one.
