I recently had the throttle module on my S60 replaced. My S60 had 45,000 km on it and though it is a 2001 model, the low milege enabled me to get a "goodwill claim" against Volvo Cars Malaysia. Only had to pay for the labour which was also a rip off at about RM800 at Federal Auto. Actual module costs just under RM4000 i think. Try enquiring about the goodwill claim.

Secondly, there is a workshop in Jln Dua behind Swedish Marque. Operated by an ex-Federal Auto supervisor and engineer. Name of place is Vol-Mar and phone number is 03-92238589. Look for Ng. He is very experienced. Prices given are 25% off original parts (vs 10% for FedAut/SwedMarq) and labour is also much much cheaper. Place is a little shabby as compared to the boutique looks of SwedMarq/FedAut, but trust that the expertise is on par if not better.

You traded a '92 classic 240 for an S70, man that hurts.

The '92-'93 240s are considered the "best" volvos ever built. Reliable, easy to work on, cheap parts and with a red B230 engine that last forever.

Yes, the S70 is nicer looking and faster, but more complicated and expensive to maintain.

You probably need a new electronic throttle module, since these fail often and are expensive to repair. You probably don't need new O2 sensors, just start with the new module and see how it goes.
