Looks like I'm going to have to break my V70
I have a 2001 V70 2.4T petrol which has suffered a couple of minor problems.
I had the throttle body converted to contactless to try and alleviate a cutout problem which didn't improve after refitting. The battery is kaput, but once jumpstarted, she ticks over like a dream. Problem here is, she will not rev over 4000rpm. She is not MOT'ed, has a dent in the bonnet thanks to a neighbours kids football! Apart from that, she is as sound as a pound. New pattern exhaust fitted 5 years ago, but has sat for the last three on my drive. Interior is cream leather with the dog net in the rear seat unit. Factory fit stereo. I was quoted £200 to get her roadworthy from a Volvo indy a few years back, but as an auto, could not tow her there to get the work done. Dropped the price down to £300 but no one wants her. I really don't want to scrap her unless I have to as she's been a diamond to drive up until things started to go wrong. I'd rather she become a 'donor'!!! General condition is superb. Who wants what and for how much?

Watching this with interest as I'm in a similar boat.My P1 2.4 n/a would sufer a fluctuating idle if I took it much above 2,000rpm and if I took it to 4,000rpm it was like hitting a brick wall.A mate converted it to contactless and now it has a lumpy idle all the time and while it'll rev smoothly it won't go higher than 3,500 rpm but it's still smooth once there and not stuttering like it's hit a rev limiter or anything.I've asked the question in the section relevant to my car but with no joy thus far.

It’s kind of convoluted but I think you go to “diagnostics” then select CEM module, then activations and the click ”throttle position adaptation” or something. Don’t do what I did though: to run the adaptation remember to click on the VT2000 icon to start the process. I think I just clicked on enter or something which obviously does nothing.

Tried all of the above with no joy. Still won't go above 4000rpm so unless someone wants her for £300, I'm going to break her. Any offers?

With mine I got advice on doing a "cold reset" so tried that,only effect that had was to increase the rev limit to 4,000 again but still the constant lumpy idle.So before looking for someone local with a Vida I decided I'd take it back off and have a tinker-if it all went Pete Tong I'd have just scrapped it-took the contactless part off first and slightly bent the contacts to make sure they were touching the ones in the throttle body itself[I don't know if that was the right or wrong thing to do,but I did it anyway]then after replacing that I lifted the other one away slightly so as not to break the two very fine wires at the top and made sure soldering was all good and nothing touching that I thought shouldn't be then refitted that.Replaced the unit on the car tightening the four bolts as tight as I dared take them and then-having routed the wiring ahead of instead of behind the starter motor- made sure the electrical plug was fully seated home and tight.Started car-bit of crossed fingers here-and it idled beautifully,let it warm up a few minutes and then revved it.Counter shot round to 6,000 smooth as you like and settled back instantly to smooth idle when I released the pedal.I now realise this is how it should have been all along and I'd been using it from buying it with a dodgy system!
