ETM - Which models and years are affected?
I didn't see the recent watchdog programme. Was there a reference to which Volvo models are affected? I have a 2000 S80 2.4 140 manual. If Volvo Uk are reading this, would they please note the effect this correspondence and the recent Watchdog programme is having on owners confidence in their vehicles ability to do what they chose the brand for.

Yes, as I have been told. Check out http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...fectsearch.cfm and put PE05041 in the quick search field. You can also check out http://www.fazmiclaw.com/Volvo.html as these are the class action solicitors handling the VOlvo suit in the US. They have a lot of information as well. |

This is straight from Volvo North America to the cars affected. I don't know anymore than that to be honest as I have concentrated on research on the V70. If you read the previous links I have given, there is a lot of information in there.
MTA: Those are from the NHTSA (independent agency investigating a safety issue now in the US) release on the Engineering Analysis said the cars were included. This was news to me and I know nothing more than this. According to the Watchdog website, "All of the following models with petrol engines are affected: not just the V70s and C70s (model years 1999-2001), but the S60, S70, S80, XC70 and the V70 non-turbos and C70s (model year 2002). Also, all S60 and V70 Bi fuel models are affected." So there is a difference between what the NHTSA and Volvo UK are saying are affected and I honestly don't know.

ETM Failures
Cleanig worked on a few occasions on our 2001 2.9 but then the worst happend on the Hoggs Back going to Guilford. The car dropped into limp home mode as the result of a further ETM failure with a very scary few moments trying to get off the carriageway. Cost of replacement ETM - £600. Cost of dammage to nervous systems - beyond calculation. Volvo need to sort this!

I am sure Watchdoog would be interested to hear of that.

Contacting Volvo
I emailed Volvo over the weekend, referred to Watchdog, and told them my concerns. I have received an email back to say my car is one that "may be potentially affected" and I will be contacted within a few months for the software download to be installed that they are working on.
