Engine issue after ETM clean, Urgent!
Hi all,
I decided to give cleaning the ETM a go on my 2001 S60 2.0T. I gave it a clean, put everything back together but now my car is having issues. The idle is awful, it won't rev above about 2000rpm and it's displaying the messages: "Engine System Service Required" "Engine System Service Urgent" and briefly, "Performance Reduced". I assume something needs resetting and I'm hoping I haven't killed it! Urgent help needed as I need the car to get to work! All help appreciated. Cheers, Phil |

Have you got the inlet pipe back on the ETM fully as these can cause a huge airleak if not seated correctly, they are not the easiest of pipes to put back on - Mike

Just had a look, and took the pipe off, and refitted it, and made sure it was fitted on properly. Tried the engine, and the same happened again, reduced performance and bad idling

I did mine the this weekend. Did you replace the gasket and refit correctly. Don't mean to teach how to suck eggs and all that, but I noticed that it was extremlely easy for the gasket to slip out when reffiting. I used a mirror and torch ensure it hadn't moved.
Did you electrically disconnect it or leave it plugged in ? |

Coughlanc, thanks for the reply. I cleaned it in situe as I couldn't get to the back bolts, so hopefully no gasket issues, however I must have done something wrong!
