I have looked at the DI many a time, but assumed it would be complicated to remove (just b/c its a freakin Saab). But I wanted to check the plugs today, so I fired up a cigarette, removed the 4 screws, gently pulled up, and the thing was out. I pulled the plug too, I was curious how that connected. So far this was about 45 seconds. I removed all 4 spark plugs, cleaned them, replaced, put the DI back on, and took the last drag of my cig. I have awful mechanic skills, and my first time took less than 4 minutes, including other activities.
Dealers have this big book that tells them how much time each job should take, and even though the DI replacement takes seconds, they can charge 2 hours for it. I suppose they would also say that they spent the next 1 hour and 58 minutes making sure the new DI works correctly. It makes you wonder how much money has been wasted over the years for other issues like this. It was just bad timing for you if the wife had the car and had no other choice but to go to the dealer.
