MAYBE SOME GOOD NEWS
Just found this on another site:
"This morning I received the following e-mail from a friend who is a Volvo parts man at a dealership in North Carolina:

I've got some good news concerning the Volvo throttle bodies- Volvo has
extended the warranty on these units for 10 years or 200,000 miles
whichever comes first as long as certain fault codes are the cause.
Considering these units are now over $600 retail, this should be good news
for Volvo owners.

I have asked for a list of the codes, although I don't know if he will have them. If anyone else learns what they are, please post them. "
