A Saturn 3.0 timing belt noise can indicate that the belt is becoming worn down. It can also indicate a bad gear.

Where is the timing chain in a 2002 Saturn Vue and how do you replace it?

Early Saturn VUE's use a Opel designed V6 engine. This engine is also used in the Cadillac Catera, Saturn L series, and Saab vehicles. This engine does use a rubber timing belt that does have to be replaced every 90-100k miles. It should be noted this engine requires some very special tools to replace the timing belt. Pretty $$ tools. The tools can be rented here for 30 days: http://www.ledfix.com/timingbelttoolrental.html

What are symptoms that your belt tensioner need replacing on a 96 Saturn SL1?

You have a very loud squeal when the engine is cold that goes away when warmede up usually after 30 secs. For a Saturn that's a dead giveaway If your belt deflection feels tight (check by taking the belt in a span between two pulleys and moving it up and down. If it's real sloppy, change the belt than try again.), more than likely your basing this on noise when operating, perhaps a squealing. That could also be related to a bearing in the power steering pump, alternator, or water pump. Squealing, slapping and whining are a few of the noise symptoms that can indicate a problem with a vehicle's engine accessory belt drive system. Critical accessories driven by the belt system include the generator/alternator, water and power steering pumps, and the air conditioner. To isolate the cause of the noise problem, listen to the engine when accelerating, when making a hard turn or when activating the air conditioning. A squealing noise that occurs when pulling away from a stop suggests incorrect belt drive tension. A slapping sound is likely caused by a loose belt that is not tensioned properly, or a seized belt tensioner. A growl or whine can indicate that a bearing in the tensioner or idler assembly is about to fail.
