Took my '01 s60 in for a timing belt, and found that, since two
weeks ago when I brought it in to have the throttle wire looked
at, Volvo put a recall out for a new software flash. Hopefully
this will help, as I've continued to experience degradation of
the throttle control - occasional sluggish response and mild
self-revving. The first major occurrence, which invoked limp-home
status, wrote no error codes in the computer, so I doubt these
relatively minor events did either.
I remain impressed with the service dept at Mid-Hudson Volvo in
NY. They did the timing belt job on the low end of their
estimated range, and had given me a 10%-off coupon as well.
They also gave me an '06 s40 to drive around. Quite a peppy
little car. The dashboard electronics have progressed nicely. A
bit small for me, but it made me realize my s60 is a little tired
now at 104K.
