Hello,

Now I'm getting worried...having got my 2001 V70 (99K) 2.4 140bhp I am reading horror stories about this ETM issue.

So far the car runs beautifully, idles perfectly, no problem accelerating etc. However, once (only once) it shot up to 1500 on idle. Is this a sign of things to come - I drive to Austria next week and am starting to think bad things.

However, if I hadn't read this forum I wouldn't think that I had a thing to worry about -'too much knowledge is a bad thing' springs to mind......

If this is going to fail, does it do so without warning, or will I get some indication prior?

Any thoughts, thanks,

Macdive
