The ETM fault is caused by "shedding" of iron oxide off a mylar wiper just like old audio tape wearing out. You should have plenty of time before you wear it out but the 20 year old strip may have plans of it's own.
One symptom of failed ETM is hunting. The central computer won't have steady position data. The fix here, again, well down the road for you, is to remove your ETM and have it rebuilt. No programming will be necessary. There are companies in the UK with turnaround times of under one week. The previous owner of my V70 was dutiful re maintenance but specified only regular oil be used. My car lived in a hot, moist climate and the engine, while well lubed and filtered, had black chunks within. I've used synthetic oils for years and they cleaned my engine well. The cost difference for a synthetic wouldn't be much. Get this baby on the road. See if Summer driving makes the heretofore dormant dampers leak. In all my readings and experience, never have I heard of 20 year old dampers coming out of hibernation. This could be interesting. Similarly, engines which aren't run are "always" said to have dried out seals and gaskets which will leak once the car is back in service. Going by that caveat, all you can do is hope the car's low use was evenly distributed over its life. If truly idle you might want to examine the engine air filter and cabin air filter for rodent damage. However, the PO's annual service might have included filter changes. By the same token, the cabin air filter, may have been assigned a non-important / non-impact status and thus ignored. You want the cabin air filter to be clean as a blocked one limits your AC's output. Check your "Recirc" button. If it has one LED you take the plain paper filter (the thinner of the two) and if it has 2 LEDs you have the IAQS system which takes the charcoal impregnated filter (the thicker of the two). I always tell people to run their windscreen washers as disuse lets them accumulate "crumbs" (aka blockages). Squirt away! Needless to say, we're all jealous of you. Best of luck with it. Also, get back with colors, overall description of condition. Does it have roof-racks? Does it have the booster seats built into the rear seat cushions?

Another person on here had same issue very recently, sent it off for a rebuilt with some other company, was told can't do it and just sent it back to him. I think in that case they did just go to the dealers in the end Fingers crossed though low mileage you might be fine but it's just something to be aware of so you have the info Last edited by stuart bowes; Jul 3rd, 2022 at 17:39. |

What's the cost per mile, I wonder.

Your sleuthing has led you to the correct conclusion, it's a fair cop !! Here is the pre-auction video that lulled me in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D5A...amTW7&index=46 New set of tyres going on later today. The return journey to/from Aberdeen will rack up more miles that the car has done in the last 2 years !! Have requested service history detail from Indie garage who have maintained since 2013 - thanks to all who gave pointers about what to ask about, much appreciated Regards James |

And so the fun begins...............
Drove very cautiously with space saver spare on to Aberdeen (c35m) After new tyres fitted drove back less cautiously but nothing silly Just as I got home "Brake failure stop safely" message appeared Stopped, restarted, still there. No apparent brake fluid loss. Got home, left to cool off. Restarted, same message, amber warning triangle, ABS amber, Red brake exclamation in circle, also STC amber triangle and amber fault in emissions systems engine type symbol - quite a full display really. I have taken the car along the lane and it stops fine, even on emergency style stop Still no apparent loss of brake fluid, but will leave overnight to see if any drips I've also noticed that when the transmission in P(ark) that when I touch the brake pedal there is a very pronounced click from the area around the transmission tunnel. This is a new development, was definitely not happening when I set off. Guessing maybe pressing the brake causes the pedal to speak to the gearbox ? The click is so loud (and I can feel the gear selector twitch) I would have definitely noticed before. Any ideas ? Car is going to garage any day soon but any pointers as to what to look for would be appreciated. First driving impressions - not a sprinter, but very comfortable and refined, gearbox lazy. Car feels tight as a drum. Turning circle is nearly as bad as a Land Rover !! All in I'm happy, brake issue aside which I'm hoping is something simple due to car's long period of inactivity.

the click is just the latch mechanism that allows you to move the lever, it always does that, if it's excessively loud that might be a fault or something but I can definitely hear and feel mine without music on and hand on the lever
try without the brake pedal pressed and it won't move. probably just didn't notice it before fingers crossed the Christmas tree display is just a random gremlin or a basic brake service finds something obvious straight away this is where VIDA would probably be useful as it would give you the details of the fault. to answer question i missed before the ODB port is just under the dash in front of your right knee next to the bonnet release Last edited by stuart bowes; Jul 4th, 2022 at 22:00. |

Thought an update may be interest to those who gave me some pointers:
Car went to my Indie with various warning lights flashing as previously reported Work carried out: All fluids & filters, including transmission, coolant & steering New timing & auxiliary belts, water pump Brakes stripped & reassembled New throttle body had to go to Volvo for coding All brake hoses & suspension components check but found ok So I have had car back now for approx. 3 weeks and have wound mileage on to approaching 11k Touch wood all OK so far Getting gradually less asthmatic as cobwebs clear I guess its like the running-in school of old One remaining bugbear is that it overrevs a wee bit when changing up from 2nd & 3rd gears, but only if you are giving it pretty much full throttle. Next step will be to get undersealed full Dinitrol treatment Any recommendations welcome regarding sourcing of: 1. Mud flaps ? 2. Interior mats ? 3. Seat covers ? All in all very pleased with the car as are the spaniels they can remain sitting and watch the world going by due to the very low window sill height !! Regards James |

Re mudflaps, a few years ago i fitted a set to my v70 and found they were cheaper from volvo than i could find on ebay so check prices before ordering.
