in the 9000 and 900 series for many years, since 1990-1(??) in the US and I think longer in other parts of the world.
As I own 2 9000s both with DI and have been on the 9000 board for a while, I don't recall that many people complaining about dead DI as often as here in the 9-5 board. I did have one DI went south on me but it wasn't a total failure so I was able to limp home with probably 3 cylinders. The more common failure in the older DI seems to be oil leaking from the DI cylinders.
I wonder whether Saab has improved their DI with "better" components but more susceptable to complete failure. Granted there are probably a hell lot more 9-5s on the road than all of 9000 combined, so even if the failure rate is the same, we see more failures posted here.
