2001 v70XC Time to cut and run?

The ETB on the 2005 is not the Magnetti morelli one like your 2001... You won't have trouble with it. It's a Bosch unit IIRC. You will find very little service info about the later ETM here....



That's a sweet price for a clean 2005... I paid a lot more for mine, and I didn't even get the automatic...

Couldn't pass it up. It really drives nice. Seafoam and clean the throttle body tomorrow.
Just scored a new, unused factory roof box for $200.00, so all set for travel. No sticks for regular cars, My Wife freaked when I got a Nissan Xterra Offroad, 6 speed and every option. It was a beast, awesome in last years snow,but she wouldn't drive it, so I had to eventually get a 2wd automatic Frontier.

Correct only 2001 and 2002 used the Magnetti - then Volvo switched to Bosch. These still gum up, but can be cleaned. YouTube has a video of an XC90 all gummed up and the clean job.

Update. I picked up a can of throttle body cleaner and a can of MAF cleaner. MAF was brand new, so someone was diagnosing by the code reader, good for me. It was crazy cold, so I warmed it up, disconnected the battery and just removed the hose/elbow to the throttle body and moved it down and to the side. Covered the elbow with a rag, and sprayed up in the throttle body, wiped with a rag and sprayed some more and let it drip. Re-connected everything, battery reconnect and no more CEL. Drove about 800 miles temps down to -6F, still no CEL, ran perfectly. Mileage seemed low, at 21 mpg, but I had the roof box on. Returned the MAF cleaner. Total cost $8.00 and 1/2 hour

Still have the 2001, time to drop the price.
