DISCLAIMER: I am in no way bashing XeMODeX. I am just posting my findings independent of Don's findings. I want to thank Chris @ XeMODeX for bringing this product to market. without XeMODex, I can't even have this discussion! IN NO WAY AM I TRYING TO DISCREDIT ANYONE OR MAKE ANYONE'S PRODUCT SEEM LIKE JUNK. My problem maybe just the only isolated one but i did find out some good information. I am only trying to help us all with this ETM issue.

Yeah, sorry about that...just didn't want it to stay up if it sounded like there was any doubt- And, didn't know when you were coming back.
(Oh, and everyone doesn't have access to V.S. in order to read the story of how everything turned out okay.)

the thread i posted to can be viewed by everyone. you do not need to be a member to see it.
the original topic should have been kept because people can read it instead of scrolling past it. In summary, the thread showed problems can arise, it will arise, it was a isolated case, and the problem was rectified ASAP.
Do i fully endorse the product? Yes, 120%, even though i had a series of problems both related and unrelated to XeMODeX.
Does it work? You will have to read the OP with the link to find out.
Its funny to me, how you write "pull the trigger" when you did not get it done yet.
when you do you will have questions too. when you have questions you will thank me then on documenting my journey. this thread will be read years from now and users will see that we had it rough then, and they have it good since there IS a alternative solution!

Okay then, I can change the topic back to it's original title or I can change it to something else that is more fitting. What title do you suggest?...and btw, even though you say that others can read V.S., others have said they can't- I've gotten private messages saying so- are you sure about this? I have a membership so it's hard for me to know.

maybe the tittle should say, etm cleaning is horse crap, dealer is just yanking your chain and hoping the car will run out of warranty before you die in the car from the ETM failing at the worst moment. this ETM reminds me of Ed Norton's character on Fight club ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/ ).
"Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Business woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Business woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one. "
we can swap out the "rear diffential" for a "failed ETM" and that's apply to us. this was said BEFORE they even made eff'd up ETM's

Well, your proposed title was too long- I did change things a bit. Let me know if this is acceptable to you (after all, you were the original poster). Btw, thanks for the links to your film, your description of what could happen, etc. These facts should "bring it home" to anyone (unless they're just plain stupid) at that place w/ their failing ETM Volvo, who the dealer is still trying to yank around- truly despicable!
In other words: Don't Give Volvo Any More of Your Hard Earned Money for ETM Cleaning, Diagnosis, etc. It's Their Fault The Damn Thing Doesn't Work and Could Kill Someone- Not Yours-
They Should Truly Be Ashamed of Themselves.

nice topic choice! hahahaha.
seriously the biggest thing is, what about all those people that do not know about XeMODeX? all those people that do not know there is a choice, a solution, a real never fail again repair?
That makes you wonder. WOW. Every 99+ user on this forum knows about the ETM, i hope. How do you tell the world about the new ETM?
