[Linx]

I had mine replaced by Johnson's of Redditch last month.
Software control module downloading £19.20 + VAT
ETM intake manifold remove-install £70.39 + VAT
Throttle housing £119.68 + VAT (including Volvo UK 20% discount)
Total £245.89.

Although I realise this is less than a lot of people have paid, I was a bit ****ed off as the Volvo web-site states "Volvo is aware that some customers may be experiencing symptoms of an ETM malfunction or are concerned about the running of their vehicle and has therefore made a software upgrade and a component clean service available FREE OF CHARGE through approved Volvo dealers"

Therefore I don't think I should have been charged for the software or labour. The shop defended themselves by saying they tried to get my old one working first and that you only get ONE free removal and software update. When I queried Volvo UK over this, they said it was correct.

My car is a 1999 V70 T5. 112000 miles. Excellent condition and FSH. However it has previosly been fitted with a second-hand ETM.

Symptoms were ETS light on all the time (it had been coming on occasionally for months), MIL light on occasionally, no cruise control, irratic idle.
