Default i have a question just exchange ETM

i just exchanged my ETM for a used one.
the old one had the problem explained in loads of posts.
i sourced another one and after putting it in it has the same symptoms.
incl a long beeeping noise from the moment turning the key, even without starting the engine and approx 3 minutes after switching the ignition off. stops after it clicks.

are both ETM fubar in this case ?

help please as i may have the chance to source another one to try.

Why bother? If it's not f'ed, soon will be. The Magneto Marelli things are trash, known for it. Fit a Sacer and have done.

CNGBiFuel is right, fitting another s/h Magneti Marelli Italian ****e Box is a complete waste of money, as you can guarantee that one will go the same way, as they all do. Just look at the amount of questions and comments on forums about this topic. I ought to know, my 2001 V70 is currently not running because of this issue.
As for any help from a Volvo Main Stealer, just forget it ££££.
Am looking at sending mine off to Xemodex, as I am sick of the whole issue. US$485, but it is postage paid via FedEx and guaranteed for life afterwards and no software downloading either.

Its possible that you had got another ETM that was as bad as the one you took out if the problem is still identical.

(I was running a 2nd hand ETM for 11,000miles or 11 weeks in my case before that failed).

If you can afford to have your car off the road for a short time, please do look at the contact-less options. As well the american firm there is one if Germany offering the same repair service : www.ecu.de / www.ecu.co.uk
