This hurts 50,000 mile vehicle just been dianosed with a throttle body problem £650 rough bill for a small piece of eletronic equipment more than likely made for a couple of quid somewhere just to put fuel into the engine.Why cant we have the old throttle cable back for a fiver.
Sorry I just feel that way today,or perhaps its just me.

Tired and fed up

Sorry to hear that. These ETM's seem to cause a lot of grief on the phase 2s. Siamblue posted something about the backlash against Volvo in America because of the high failure rates.
