I'm currently looking for a V70, probably around 1999-2000 petrol. However, having read the reports on ETM failure I'm now reconsidering my position.

From what I can gather there is a school of thought that says all petrol V70's between 1999-2001 will suffer ETM failure at some point...roughly around the 100,000miles mark.

Is this true? From what I've seen there are numerous 1999-2001 petrol V70's for sale with mileages way above 100,000 miles. Have all these cars suffered ETM failures at some point?

Any advice would be most welcome
