Throttle body S70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Juan P. on  Tue May 31 06:38 CST 2011 [RELATED]


Hey all,


So I went to my trusty Volvo tech earlier this morning and had him hook my car up to his scanner to see what the problem is.

It turns out the throttle body is bad/defective. Everything else - O2 sensor, MAF sensor - is good.

I really need some advice on how to go about doing this throttle body thing. He did tell me that it is covered under some sort of federal recall (or warranty, whatever you want to call it) and that the dealer can fix it for free. Or, I could possibly just take it apart, clean it, and reset the codes. Is that possible?

Advice would be much appreciated, as I have no clue as to how to go about doing this.
