Just wanted to let you all know how Volvo is taking care of the ETMs now. I expected the ETM on my 1999 S70AWD with 92,000 miles on it to fail soon. I had a 99-V70 where it failed at 68,000 and a 1999 S70 non-turbo where it failed at 98,000 miles. I was getting the same symptoms of oscillating idle and intermittant hard starting. This morning, under hard acceleration, the ETS light came on, I lost power, and it went into limp mode. Took it in after being at work for 2 hours. They read the codes and said they now use a Volvo software download in all be the worst cases. That is what they did, and it is running fine now. Did not change the ETM, though they made sure the PCV line was not plugged. Anyone else had this done yet, and did it still fail later?
