Hello,
After driving my car for the past 4 years, one day I tried to start it, but the engine would cut off after a few seconds. My car did not have any symptoms before this issue. My mechanic tried to get error codes, but nothing appeared. He decided it was a failed fuel pump. I bought a brand new Volvo fuel pump, had it installed. The car still has the same issues. He is now recommending that the electronic throttle module needs to be replaced. After spending a small fortune on the fuel pump replacement, I am now hesitant to go with his ETM replacement recommendation.
However, I found the part here https://xemodex.com/us/product/elect...6001822-00-24/. Can you please let me know if this manufacturer is reputable? Would it be better to go to the dealer for this part?
Or would it be cost effective to buy the part here https://www.ipdusa.com/products/1062...le-body-module and have it programmed by the dealer?
Could there be other factors causing my car issues?

Thanks in advance for your help and input

 

Xemodex is well known to the Volvo community for their ETM and ATM board rebuilds but it looks like they are focusing on their resale business (via IPD and others) vs direct sales. With said, the ETMs can be rebuilt versus replacing (with the dealer programming costs) - check our ardideas.com for their ETM rebuild kit for $145 (basically you replace the contacts that are a common problem area). Another option is to get a new Genuine Volvo part - Tasca parts (Volvo dealer) lists for $380 new - so factor in 2 hours (a guess) programming time and your good as new for $600.

 

Hi mt6127,
Thanks so much for your quick response. I'll will forward your information to my mechanic. I am hoping to keep this car alive as long as possible.
Best regards,
Rowster
