So, I have started my journey into the world of Saab! As a bit of background, I'm a commercial/instrument pilot that works in aviation engineering at Garmin, so I'm completely aircraft obsessed.

I need both clarification and suggestions. I have a 2001 9-3. She stopped running while idling in a parking lot and would not turn back on. Power was fine but the engine didn't turn over at all. The garage says that broken bearings* are the cause of the problem and that he will take off the oil...

There are two people looking for this information, so I will just make this writeup it's own thread to aid finding it in the future. [b] This writeup applies to replacing the main and rod bearings in any transverse-engined SAAB 4-cylinder, 9000, NG900, 9-3, and 9-5, and pretty much any other...
