This has happened to my SAAB twice. One on the 94cs, another on the 94cs turbo. Fortunately each time I have the car in the garage when I spotted the sheared bolt.
Many will agree that the top bolt holding the S-belt tensioner is under designed. I didn't think the engineer considered both bending and shearing actions on this bolt exterted by the tensioner spring.
Don't think there is a fix either because this calls for a larger diameter bolt. This means a redesign of the tensioner and a larger bolt hole on the timing chain cover.
Fortunately I have a few bolts like this in my garage from what's left of an 94cs engine.
