Hi Wardair and Doofus,
Just to let you know that following the ETM clean out and upgrade my V70 is not running brilliantly. Picked it up on Friday night and rang the Volvo dealership on Saturday morning to voice my concerns. The rev counter sticks on deceleration at around 1400 revs for a few seconds before returning to idle. I have been advised to drive it for a few days to see if it settles down!
Apparently I would have to pay for any further work or replacement but I'm reading that they only last 10K. miles
Driving it today, what was more disconcerting, was the sudden two second surge in speed that occurs. On one occassion this was on a left hand bend and felt as though I was suddenly being accelerated into oncoming traffic.
As a loyal Volvo owner (5th car) I am disappointed in their stance in the UK.
I need the room the estate offers but my good lady is now frightened to drive the car and would like to move on. Anyone who suggests that this is not a sfety issue must be barking!
Thanks, bluedog
