Well, it could be worse... at least your DICassette has given you some warning.
Mine went out like "that" (snap your fingers here) and left me stranded for a couple of hours until I could get it towed home... and then to the dealer (Mike Shaw Saab, Denver) where they proceeded to financially rape me.
$1,200 later and I had a new DI cassette.
Yes, that's right - $1,200 included:
$287.88 for 2.5 hours labor (doing WHAT in 2.5 hours ... I must have paid for his lunch, too)
$954.60 for the DI Cassette
-$250.00 for the "core return" of the part (I assume they recondition these things, which makes me wonder if I ended up buying a reconditioned part)
$120 in towing (that's just from my house to the dealer, doesn't include the $60 I paid to get home that night)
$52.76 in "environmental fees/shop supplies"
Consider yourself lucky.
I've since written to Saab USA to let them know that my loyalty is gone forever.
