Re: Help.. Electronic Throttle system ALL 99

Sorry but your dealer is 100% correct as we replace many of those too. Volvo took a system that was flawless and never failed, the cable operated throttle base and replaced it with an electrical POS that fails often, most while still under warranty but I'm sure the new part is no better than the original.

Apparently you're car has more than 70K miles on it already (emissions warranty for that part)?

There's nothing else that will fix the part other than replacing it. The common code(s) are almost always stating "internal failure, permanent fault".

BTW, don't blame the dealer guys, they're just trying to help you keep your car running. Volvo designed and created your car so put the blame where it's deserved.
