I just got back from the Volvo dealer and was told my Throttle Position Sensor needs to be replaced.

I was wondering how much work would be entailed with this.

Also is this something the volvo dealer needs to do or could I take it to my mechanic who is somewhat familiar with volvos?

Thanks in advance

 

It is easy to replace anyone can do it.

 

I was looking for directions on how to replace it and I can't seem to find any.

Do you have any directions or know where they might be located.

Thanks for the help Tech!!

 

Sorry no good directions BUT it is mounted to the throttle body just before the motor.
Is it turbo?
The throttle cable attaches to the throttle body. On the bottom side of the throttle body there is a black sensor screwed to the throttle body. There is 2 screws holding it on.

 

S70 is a non-turbo base model.

I haven't really worked extensively on cars before and I was hoping to start doing so a little more with this car. I would rather save the labor costs if it's an easy job.

I'll look around the engine tmrw and see if I can tell what your talking about.

Thanks.

 

OK I will also try to find a pic of the location as well.
