RE: Idle RPM fluctuations/ Moderator thanks for your GREAT support
Dear Moderator,[/align][/align]I want to thank you by making me aware of this warranty. After a lot of internet search confirming your statement, I wrote an Email to Volvo Canada (with the links to the identified documents on the Web).[/align][/align]Today I got a reply from Volvo confirming that we are eligible for a warranty replacement of the ETM (Electronic throttle body).[/align][/align]So Today I went to the garage showing a copy of the received E-mail, and asked to initiate the repair.[/align]Most likely it will take some period, by the fact that there was a backlog at the dealer.[/align][/align]Anyway.....great feedback very much appreciated!![/align][/align]Please keep ondoing the GOOD Work;[/align][/align]on behalf of all the Volvo owners.[/align][/align]Sincereley[/align][/align]Alltwin[/align]

As promised my feedback after repair
After visiting B&L motors, they confirmed that the ETM was broken and had to be replaced.
I contacted Volvo Canada and they accepted the warranty however only after an confirmed diagnose by an official Volvo dealer.
Well I went to BKvolvo, it took them 3 diagnose visits being able to confirm the broken ETM module causing the problems during a cold start.
Well now I had to get it repaired by BKVolvo as the warranty was only to be carried out by an official Volvo dealer.
This took BK volvo a whole day, anyway IT WORKS and everything was paid by Volvo Canada.
Thank you very much again for your great diagnostics and advise!!!
