The DI cassette failed in my 9-3 at approx 80Km with absolutely no warning other than the engine suddenly failing at high speed on the highway.

I wondered whether it might be prudent just to have it replaced myself as part of the 64K service, at my own cost. Costly, certainly, but also perhaps good for peace of mind and safety... -- Viktor Haag : Software & Information Design : Research In Motion +--+ Disclaimer mandated by employer: "This transmission may contain confidential or privileged material.
