Interesting reading this... My SO drives a 2001 9-3SE, she's been the only owner. Leaving the dealer one time, back in 2004 or 2005 or so, she was on the ramp to get on the highway when her car died - luckily she didn't actually get on to the highway first. Her car had JUST been in for routine service and obviously there was no indication of anything wrong at that time, so she sat on the on-ramp for an hour or so waiting for a tow and had it brought back to the dealer. Turned out the DIC had failed! I have since (with the help of Saabnet) replaced her DIC myself, maybe a year or so ago, since her indy said it looked like it was going to fail again, and this time there was a CEL involved. Yes, it's an easy replacement, but you have to be expecting it to fail, and have a $200+ part (or more, depending on when/where you get it) sitting in your trunk in anticipation in order for this to NOT be a total pain to deal with.
And even if she had had one in her trunk at the time, my SO would not have been able to do the swap herself...
