P1312 experience at the dealer. Posted by Saab4me [Email] (#2550) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saab4me) on Sat, 10 Jan 2009 02:01:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So I went to the dealer Friday morning to check out a CEL on my 05 linear wagon. I know the code is P1312 so was expecting either new plugs or DIC replacement. I mention to the service advisor the front suspension feels weak as well. 4 hrs later, the diagnostic is that I need new front struts, new thrust bearings, new DIC/plugs and they found one of the rubber clip holding the exhaust pipe missing. Everything except the plugs and rubber clip will be covered under CPO, but he did quote me over $300 for the plugs and rubber clip parts and labor. I tried to ask him which plugs will I be getting but he just say whatever saab recommends.
I know I'm probably being hosed on the plugs and rubber clip installation. On the other hand, I'm getting a bunch of parts replaced for free and they even set me up with a loaner Caddy DTS until tuesday(it's a mainly Cadillac dealer that also happens to sell saabs). All in all, a fairly positive experience.
