Evening all,
Posting here and on the VOC forum so apologies if you're seeing double.
I have a weird problem with my '99 V70 T5.
When idling the revs fluctuate. They generally don't go higher than they should (900 - 1,000rpm) but they do drop. It's weird, almost as if they are bouncing off 700rpm, returning to 900 - 1,000rpm then dropping and bouncing again.
Originally I thought it was the climate control cutting in and out because it didn't happen all the time. However, further investigation revealed that it did it when the climate is off too. I then thought it could be because she was due a service but she still does it even though I've had her serviced.
So, any thoughts? Keith at North West Trading (Volvo specialist) said it could be the throttle housing needing cleaning.
OK, this is the first ME7 fly by wire I've owned and I haven't got a clue where things are (I was a bit surprised a while back when I popped the bonnet and couldn't see any HT leads - further investigation revealed a coil on the top of each plug - what's that all about???).
So, where do I find the throttle housing, body or whatever else it's called? How do I remove it? What do I use to clean it (brake cleaner?) and is there anything I should be wary of like damaging a fragile sensor?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Andy
