Here's my story and reasoning why: Our 9-3, still under warranty, showed a couple of symptoms of DI failure. Not enough to duplicate at dealer, but I bit the bullet and bought a new one, and put new plugs in. Didn't want to get stranded. Fast forward 2-3 months to last week, when our 9-5, still under warranty with about 20 miles to go, had DI misfire and failure. Dealer replaced under warranty. Yesterday though, we get another CEL. I've read on here that the cat. converters frequently go after a DI misfire. And now the car is out of warranty (I know the cats. are warranted for 80k, but you get my point). The 9-3 is out of warranty beginning this Friday. I figure if I had waited for the DI to fail on that car, it would have finally done so out of warranty (about $700 at the dealer) then possibly a week or so later the cat. converter goes, add who knows how much to the bill for that, maybe another $500, for at total of 1200? So, I spent $300 to potentially (probably?) save the $900 difference.
