My 120k miles V70 started having the ETM problem symptoms a couple of weeks ago - outside lane of A1M!!!

Took it to the Independent Volvo Specialist who services the car and after code read, a clean was suggested - 'it cures it in 7 out of 10 cases' I was told.

Worked fine for a week (in between I saw Watchdog article) then it happened again

Had the problem again on Friday of last week so contacted my local Volvo Dealer who recognised the problem - booked in for next Wednesday for a clean (don't know why as I've just had one!) and software upgrade.

I was told that this procedure would be free and if it didn't work, the fitting of a new throttle body would also be free.

Looks like Volvo have now recognised there's a problem, but time will tell.

I'll report my experiences next week.
