Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - ETS Light - ETM failure -> Volvo US admits to problem.

Jan 21st, 2006, 21:52

I have a 2000 Volvo V70 T5 and the diagnostic indicated a faulty ETM. Volvo UK weren't interested in the USA situation, the customer mis-service rep. stated it wasn't the same component as used there and they would contact owners if they thought it to be necessary! Faced with a car that was dangerous to drive it needed to be repaired.
The Volvo dealers quote was £380 for the ETM, 2 hours @ £80/hr, software download @ £25 (all + VAT) = £665. However I also found that BBA-reman.com offered a remanufacturing service. They charged £250 and repaired the unit in 24 hours. The car seems to run OK and I recommend them to anyone who may need this service.
