Default Re: Software Upgrade

After wathing watchdog last night I immediately rang my local Volvo dealer this morning who informed me that they would have to diognose the vehicle, clean out the throttle hosing before going near the ETM. I explained that my car had been serviced on Monday with no faults reported on the computer. I also had the throttle housing cleaned 8 months ago. But no, he insisted that this would have to be done and I would be liable for any labour costs. He told me that this must be done regardless but I thought if they typed the VRM of your vehicle into their pc they would be able to tell if my vehicle needed the upgrade. Still he would not budge so I terminated the call. I then phoned my only other dealer and once explained gave him my VRM I got a call back a few hours later and I was told that I could bring the vehicle in for the software without charge. He suggested that if I wanted I could have the throttle housing cleaned in about 30 mins. Most impressed with service and the manner it was dealt with. I have my car booked in for 15/12/06. I will be a lot happy once this is over. I just cant understand why one dealer agrees and the other disagrees. Typical dont you think!
