Default Ets light on & engine lacks power

Hi i noticed today when i started my volvo c70 2003 that the ETS light was on i then started to drive down the road when i noticed i could only accelerate upto 2 - 3000 revs the engine sounded rough and was lacking power whilst i could only get the car to do 20 mph, i pulled over on the side to find that the car was idling very erratically with the rev counter bouncing up and down, i turned off the engine and restarted it once i had done this a few times the ETS light went off and the car was running fine again. Every time i leave the car for a few hours and then return to it i seem to have this problem, any ideas on how i can solve this would be appreciated as i explained it tot he garage and they said it could be something to do with the clutch which i find very strange as the clutch is working perfectly fine

Default having the same issue....

My 1998 v70 has been doing this for months, turn it off and wait 10 mins and its OK, I have now replaced the faulty Italian part with a contactless sensor, not the easiest job to do but after you remove the sealing compound its quite accessible....so all back together and its even worse now ! Do I need a software update now? Any pointers are welcome. Wayne

You've a snowball in hells chance of getting any sort of response here guys, even though a so-called expert plys his 'trade' here regarding all things DIM and ETM, try posting in the normal forum where you may get help, one can only wonder why this section even exists tbh,

Good luck
