I would suggest that a $400 tear down is both excess and unnecessary.
First, is this a trusted indy or SAAB dealership? You may need to "invest 1-2 hours of labor to check the error codes with tech 2.
If the car is running normally, your CEL may be emissions related as opposed to some other mechanical or electrical problem.
When my CEL illuminated, first question was gas cap tight during refueling (yes), reset, came back, checked gas cap, reset, came back, changed fuel filler neck (a real wag), and finally a trip to the dealer where they injected black light sensitive gas. Finally a hair line crack in the gas tank was discovered. It was changed and presto, light went away for good.
Of course, I was told light was no big deal, don't worry, lada lada lada. I said fix it (no course since it was recent purchase).
At any rate, long story short, don't waste $400, go to a good SAAB mechanic.
