The only thing I can think of is if you got such a bad batch of gasolin that heavy knocking occured, cracking a piston or piston rings.
It could also be one of these sludge engines and that the dealer is trying to put the blame elsewhere so that they don't have to do it under this extended 8 year unlimited miles warranty.
I have a 2002 9-3 in right now with heavy blow by and low compression of 2 cylinders. The engine is absolutly spotless inside so this one is not a sludge engine but nevertheless something happened to two pistons and I will find out when I pull the pistons out.
It's been plenty of stories posted here about the early Viggen cars and cracked pistons. You can do a search for them.
