Hi all,
Had an account on here a while ago, and had to resign up it seems.
got a little bit of a problem
Car :
S60 T5, 2001 reg (2002 spec car accoridng to the vin number being entered at a volvo dealer, was bought late 2001 so was 2002 spec?)
Symptoms :
When the car turns on, idles roughtly, jumps up and down a bit on rpm, sometimes will cut out. when its first started it is likely to stall If I drive to a junction and put the clutch in, after a minute warmup its fine.
Cause(As told by my garage):
Breather on the engine was leaking, fouled the MAF sesnor, and the throttle body.
Fix (As told by my garage)
Have replaced the breather and MAF. Throttle body needs a software ugprade, but to do this, I need a new throttle body, and it has to be fitted by a volvo dealer or they won't do it. Estimated 500 quid.
Now I was wondering if I can jsut take the throttle body out and clean it down?
I have done a search round and found some links that give the idea you can....

The first one above, talks you through taking the hose of spraying some liquid in, then starting the engine and running it, which cleans the throttle body, but says 'If the check engine light' isn't on.#
Which mine is....
Any suggestions advice would be appriciated, as can't really afford the 500quid at the moment, only do about30-50 miles a week.
Have been told it won't damage the engine, just will get worse over time?
Thanks
