My '99 9-3 SE has 50K. The SID pixels began disappearing at 20K (warranty covered). The westgate rod on the turbo component came off after 40K. Ran like a dog w/o turbo ($250 repair). Had the serpentine belt replaced at the same time, as it was worn and cracked ($200). Just had the front and back shocks / struts replaced w. Bilstiens ($600+). Waiting to replace the faulty internal alarm siren (dealership wants $420 to replace - insanity!)
Any thoughts on the replacement? Appears to be a common Saab repair
that is both non-critical, yet costly. Not to a mention, the SID message "Service Theft Alarm" is a nuisance to clear.
Thanks for the heads-up re. the DI cassette, Matt. I'll have to purchase a spare.
