Cool Etm

[QUOTE=djgeoff;176644]my mate next door popped round to tell me that watchdog tv proggy has just been on about the etm failures. he said he caught the tail end of it and said that watch dog is saying volvo uk is now doing upgrade / replacement of the faulty etms. is this correct? as i did not see program myself
cheers geoff

just for your info went to volvo at tolbar in coventry, acted dumb ( no comments please your prob correct), asked if my car was one of those volvo are recalling according to watch dog program. he asked for car details got out some 3 page letter ( which i only could read header) seemed to be from volvo uk then said yes yours seems to be on the list when do u want it booked in? tomorrow? friday?, i said next week no rush. i also asked him was is this all about. he said oh its really all to do with america but we are upgrading here. oh i said, upgrading what? he said well we do a software upgrade and clean out and set some feelers in the etm module. i siad is that something to do with the throttle then, he said yes.
he also said i wont notice any differance.......... um, will wait and see hey.
my car is not showing signs of problems mentioned in previous threads or at least i dont think so, there was one day i was stuck in traffic jam for 1 hr to cover quater mile and the engine suddenly started to drop revs as though it was gonna cut out then it just bounced the ol rev counter needle up and down and i was not doing a thing.

any way will wait and see........ keep u posted
