changing the pulley and belt does'nt seem the correct advice to me ,only in the context of while thiese parts are removed makes good economic sense to replace them now and not have another bill in 50k km's time, if the cam shaft sensor is causing an issue only when engine cold then i would think the problem is with the circuitry between the ECU/PCM and the cam sensor , if you can forward me the OBD code i should be able to help further ,
these bend valves if belt breaks while running Align the timing marks on the camshaft gears to the notches on the camshaft cover, using the intake gear mark for the intake gear and the exhaust gear mark for the exhaust gear. Align the mark on the crankshaft gear with the notch at the bottom of the rear timing belt cover.
Standard Answer for Timing Belts/Chains: 100,000 to 120,000 miles is when the Timing Belts/Chains start malfunctioning or failing. Some people want to go ahead and change them before malfunctions/failures happen. I just replaced mine on 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan which just turned 100K. Most Timing Belt/Chain failures will cause more costly engine damage when these fail, including a need to replace/rebuild an entire engine.

leave the coolent cap off the resevior and run car up to temperature this should get all air from the system BE CAREFULL U WILL GET BURNT!!! STAND WELL BACK AND BE READY TO SHUT ENGINE OFF as soon as the coolent starts to bubble turn engine off and leave to cool before replacing cap, start engine again with cap on drive for a little while untill the temp gauge shows warm and check that the fan in engine bay is working have heater blowers in car on all the time whilst doing this operation!
very common issue with post 2001 turbos. the fault is usualy down to the air flow meter (mounted on the airbox or induction pipe). you will find its at its worst when warm. do not fall for a garage telling you the turbo has failed.
I spoke with the Saab dealer whom sold me the springs last March, he told me there is an ongoing problem with many owners having to change springs, I have bought 2 x new springs and had them fitted total costs incl repair of damaged tyre £450, I will not be as originally planning purchasing another Saab, after sales are poor and excuses unacceptable when requested they honour warranty.
You will need to change the o2 sensors, your car is running in limp mode (giving to much gas)
Most common problem if you need additional help
hope this helps
