• January 2009 - A remanufactured part is now available to replace the egregiously designed Volvo ETM from Magneti Marelli throttle module. Briefly the new unit replaces the throttle position sensor that wears out with a Digital Angle Sensor that has no moving parts to wear out. As a result it carries a lifetime warranty.
