sounds like you are going about it the wrong way.
I just had a DI failure on our 2000 viggen conv, a couple of calls to saab customer support, telling them of my long-time saab ownership, and my desire to keep driving these cars for a long time, they were more than happy to cover the repair, 100%, even tho I was 6 months out of warr.
It certainly does seem that there is a high rate of failure on this part, I just replaced one on my mom's 99 9-5, with 80,000 miles, and now I'm pretty confident that it must have been replaced earlier in the car's life.
Pretty amazing that this is the exact same issue that gave VW a bunch of very bad press lately, and saab can escape the recall.
