I took my 2000 9-5 wagon (2.3 manual), 100k miles, to the dealer as the Check Engine light has been going on intermittently. They didn't find anything but will swap the DIC when the new ones are in.
Also, they said I have a few other issues and I wanted to see what folks on this board think.
Serpentine belt is cracked - The dealer said that it wasn't bad, but should be watched. It was replaced at 60k so I am surprised I need to do it now. Should I replace the belt, and should I also replace the pulleys? When I did the original replacement at 60k I only did the belt. Dealer wants about $280 for the belt alone.
Oil sender switch has a small leak - Dealer wants $250 to fix, and says it is expensive because you have to remove the starter.
Drivers electric seat switch is broken and thus the seat does not operate. Again the dealer quotes $230. Can I do this one myself?
Fron wipers do not 'Swipe' and 'park' fully. Dealer says I need a new whole new wiper assembly. Cost is $380 (but parts are backordered so I won't do it anyway).
What do you all think?
