I'd be tempted to remove it from your list judging from my early experiences...
So the garage managed to find an air leak in the metered air side. They sealed the leak which knocked out one of the fault codes, but the Electronic Throttle management still has a 'communication error'. They are now talking about a new ETM at £400 + VAT +fitting and it apparently has to be done at a Volvo garage (my internet searching suggests this is not the case). This has got expensive very quickly....
I've got it back for the weekend at least to do some tidying up but it'll need to go back in during the week.
On the plus side, I gave it some serious stick away from a junction on the way home and by Christ is it swift. I did actually giggle. God knows what the V70R's are like with an extra 90BHP!
