BBC Watchdog and Volvo ETM failures.
BBC Watchdog is presently looking into Volvo ETM failures.
Can I suggest that those of us who are concerned immediately write to Watchdog by going on-line to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/contact/transport.shtml; or write to: BBC Watchdog, 201 Wood Lane, London W12 7TS; or telephone: 020 8535 1000 In a recent communication with the program they told me that they need more individuals to make contact with them before they can follow up the issue (e.g. apparently they had 50 contacts regarding the Audi problem). From what I have seen, if the BBC gets involved then we just might get a result. Melvyn |

broken link
Hi Melvyn,
thanks for the heads up but the link to the BBC web site appears to be broken. I have a 1999 S80 which has had its ETM replaced so I'd be interested in adding my tuppence worth !. regards Brendan |

Do you have any of the early symptoms, like erratic idle?

I had this on my 99 2.9, and it was easily cured by cleaning the throttle bore around the flap.

My efforts to defend Volvo and prove an insight into whats happening have obviously been taken far too seriously so I will just be quiet on the matter.

And so you know, the ETM part is EXACTLY the same on the US and UK cars. My father owns 28 Volvo dealerships and has this in writing so guess what... it is going to fail. Your local Volvo dealership may be lucky as far as ATM failures go but mine has numerous ones in this last 6 months. And lastly, Volvo is one the sourced the part and knew of the problem. This faulty part has almost killed numerous people, including me. So quit spouting off about stuff you honestly don't know about. |
