After 7 hours of driving from central NC to central NJ, the idler pulley in our '02 9-5 Aero wagon gave up the ghost as I pulled into my in-laws'. A quick trip to the nearest Saab dealer for the pulley ($70!) and auto parts store for tools ($15 for a metric wrench set, $10 for the 1/2" socket extension), and 20 minutes later I was good to go. My hands are still sore, though.
Forgot to mention the emergency oil change the night before the trip when I discovered I was over the 5000 mile interval (ahem... my wife drives car). Chalk up a new filter, washer, and 4 liters of semi-synthetic.
Oh... my wife got a diamond necklace.
