Noooo........ ETM failure!!

[d2k]

great........ just as im starting to make the car look better my ETM has started to fail.

common idle symptoms ive seen from others.... its fine once im past 2krpm but pulling up at ANY junction & she coughs & splutters & wants to die!!


fking typical..... im not gonna let myself hate the car though as its a common fault & its the original ETM so it was only a matter of time..


GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

[M-R-P]

Oh dear! PM Niles mate, he's had some experience with these things, he might be able to point you in the right direction. Don't give up mate, once you get the ETM sorted, all the crappy ford bits will have been fixed

[T5frankie]

dave has one for sale cheap

The guy on eBay who does DIM repairs also repairs ETM's, apparently he's quite well known for his quality work....

lol..... i rang him about 2hrs ago, he can fix it ... the problem is he's going on holiday in a few days & wont be back for 3 weeks , & there's no way i'll get the thing out of the car by then..

again....... typical

[stephenevans99]

He does an exchange service too - I think. Doesn't he have an exchange one you could pay a refundable deposit on?

ooh........ im not sure, ill find out.....


if i was to wait the 3 weeks for his return, will driving it like this damage anything..??

Some of the ETM's are interchangeable if magnetti marelli (make)

[d2k]

ah....... mine is one of those 'Magnetti' jobbies.


who is 'dave' ..??, & how cheap is cheap , i know these things are quite expensive..

[Wobbly Dave]

I have one going cheap. Came off a MY 99 ME7 C70 today.

[d2k]

here's a pic of my ETM..... its not a magnetti one, its Bosch.. does this mean its new..??



does anyone have code reading capabilities near me, ive ordered a reader (was told it was UK stock but still not here after a week), i need to get the codes read to be sure it is the ETM, cant see it being anything else given the symptoms.... but..

[Wobbly Dave]

That isnt an ETM AFAIK?? The etm is suspended upside down under the inlet manifold. - you'd be hard pressed to see it.

[Wobbly Dave]

I might be going a bit wobbly here - but it may look very different on the phase 3 - so feel free to ignore me.

[d2k]

that is suspended upside down under the inlet manifold....

its the same as this one.......


lol.... sorry about the sig pic.. i must remove it, i have a P2 S60, not P3

[1260pete]

looks like the etm to me lol,, i had the same issues on my p2 mate and monday night i stripped it and cleaned it and its now smooth as a babies bum on tickover took a good couple of hours but well worth it

thankyou pete.....

not done one before mate is your engine is the same as mine t5 me7 if so i'll tell you no problem

[d2k]

right...... Lukaz @ volvodiagnostic.com just got back to me after i sent him my ETM pic, he assures me my problem IS NOT a failing ETM as this one is pretty new..

he said it could be a MAF problem or maybe a broken boost hose, but without a code reader im fked.....

this could end up being a far cheaper fix...lol

[bubba_1986]

Not same one as me and Dave have for sale. Sorry mate
