Well im not sure about the warranty part, because my 99'v6 isnt covered under the IDM/DIC thing. You might call SAAB..The IDM's are one of those things that wear out I guess. I replaced an original just because I didnt want to deal with it going bad.
But I do think $500 is WAY to much money, for what the job is.
You can get the actual IDM from eeuroparts.com for $180, and add all six plugs for another $11! I think they also do free shipping...As far as the labor,its easy. You have to remove the plastic engine cover, Then the IDM's have to come off to get to the plugs.. which is a matter of a few screws on the top and unplugging it and lifting it off. You replace the plugs, which again is really easy, and put it back together. It takes me less than an hour from start to finish, and im not a formally trained mechanic by any means. I would get a second opinion or try it yourself, there is PLENTY of support out there for ya on this board!
Good luck!!
