Default V70 T5 1999 hunting at idle

Hi Lukas,

My 2.3 T5 estate has had a long running problem with hunting at idle. It varies occasionally in degree but is nearly always there. I've attempted nothing so far but I am considering cleaning the throttle bodies butterfly valves as described in many places.
Unfortunately since last year a 'normal' idle is a requirement for the MOT and my car has just failed this. The garage where it is now has quoted £250 for a second hand throttle bode unit plus fitting. I'm not going to go for that but am contemplating bringing it home and stripping the throttle body unit.
I would appreciate any advice on diagnostic steps I could follow and/or sending the unit to you for refurbishment.
Thanks in advance,
Dave M
