I guess this would need to be raised with your insurance company too?
How happy would they be for this mod to be fitted without some sort of testing and accreditation/certification by an official body? |

Non contacting ETMs
I have held the XeMODeX unit in my hot old hands and have had it installed on my son's 2000 v70XC. It went on perfectly in about an hour and started instantly. 0-60 times were the same as before and the idle was smoother.
Since they have to do internal work beyond the end caps modification is not a DIY job though the installation could be. Don Willson http://VEXEDvolvo.org VEXEDvolvo@comcast.net |

Anyone in the UK bought one yet? How is it and where did you buy it lol? Braydon wouldn't sell me one as they're still testing it.

looks like this part will not be that viable in the uk for a while, see email from the suppliers below

Problem is that Volvo UK is subsidizing ETM price to the level we can not compete in your country. Also in order to receive this service you will need your old unit to us for the upgrade. Shipping costs both ways are substantial too. Best regards, Chris ________________________________________ From: ] Sent: March 4, 2009 11:10 AM To: sales@xemodex.com Subject: Non-Contacting Volvo Electronic Throttle Module Hi, Is it possible to purchase your Non-Contacting Volvo Electronic Throttle Module in the UK? Do you have a dealer here? If not, I would like to order this part from either US or Canada, can you let me know the price and if shipping to the UK is possible please? Thanks |

Has anyone fitted the exchange replacement ETM ($549.00 ) offered by: http://www.xemodex.com/xemodex_013.htm ?
They claim it comes with the right software loaded (based on the vehicle's VIN number). Melvyn |

Surely someone is up for fitting this unit to a UK volvo? We aren't that special!
If not I will probably take the plunge the first signs I see of the ETM going in mine! (And Damn Volvo for being an arse about this and not just admitting they made a mistake). |

I too am amazed no one has tried this. It seems like the best solution. Are there bad reports somewhere that we don't know about?
