    MY2002 9-3 Engine Mounting

    Hi,

    I've got a 2002 9-3 SE Convertible and at the weekend had a problem
    where when setting off there was a clunking sound from engine bay,
    this got worse during day and ended up with a large bang and very
    nasty crunching/grinding noise.

    The problem is that engine mounting bolt had snapped and the large
    noise was the engine lifting up and then crashing back down - I dont
    really know what the grinding noise was. Saab dealers are going to fit
    a new bolt. I was just wondering what other damage could be caused by
    the problem as it was happening to a much lesser degree for a week or
    two before it finally broken. Could the gearbox/clutch have become
    damaged?

    The crunching noise from the intial point when the bolt snapped was
    very worrying.

    Problem for me is that warranty runs out fairly soon and I dont want
    to have to pay for any damage caused by this incident.

    Thanks.

    Paul.
