Anyone know where to start. I've checked all the fuses and everything seems OK. I do get an Alarm Malfunction in the message center.

Could be the ETM malfunctioning. Also the MAF.

I just removed the airbox to fix my ABS module and I found that the flap is always letting hot air from the exhaust manifold and not cold air. Is this normal?

Anyone know when I need to change it. The car has 124,000 Km's on it. Is there any way to inspect it?

I learned alot. I have purchased the car for $4000 CDN 124,000 KM's on it.

Just have to tackle the ABS module and timing belt maybe.

Thanks for the reply.

Its the non turbo. The ABS issue is already there. I know it can be fixed for 150 by some guy in the states. I might attempt it myself. I am an electronics technician. Will keeping the throttle body clean help with the issues?

Ive read a lot of nasty reviews and was wondering if this car is as bad as people say.
Transmission issues, throttle body issues, brake controller issues.

I have owned 3 volvo's previously (88 240, 1990, 740 16v, 1994 850) and most routine maintenance I do myself.

Any opinions would be appreciated.
