Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Any Volvo for sale in CT with dealer service records, clean interior, and a rich seller saying “ can you take this away for $500?”

Seriously, the oft maligned Magneti Marelli throttle body experience in my house is …I have two units with 150k, two Xmodex units at 160-200k, one at 270k (2000 vintage)

I know it bites to get a $500 bill on a $500 car but that isn’t a bad price for complete engine torque management, integrated cruise, STC, and no cap/rotor/ wires to deal with
