This site is pretty http://photo.platonoff.com/Auto/20040929.Saab_9-5_serpentine_belt/

I found this to be the best for my 1999 9-5, should be the same for the 9-3 turbo.

A couple of things I found:

The replacement Saab belt is shorter, missing out the centre pulley. I have actually fitted both and I found that the original lenghth 2601 (I believe) was easier to fit. With the tensioner pulled forward or compressed it was easier to push the belt down in the centre onto the centre pulley. I had to go for an after market belt to get the length.

I also found that using the half inch socket extension rod to compress the tensioner was difficult as the brake reservoir got in the way. I used a half inch socket speed brace instead and the shape of the brace fit nicely around the reservoir.

As described in the mentioned web-site you have to remove the engine mount and wheel but don't be put off, simple job that my mum could do.

Lastly - check pulley's to make sure they are running smooth or you may find that you trash another belt like I did.
