    A Xemodex throttle module can be preprogrammed and would be plug and play. A module from the Volvo dealer (new ones are available aftermarket also) has to be programmed using a VIDA subscription after installation. The Xemodex unit also has non-contact potentiometers (the most common part in the throttle that fails)

    The total would probably be less from Xemodex.

    The throttle module comes out after removal of the plastic pipe feeding air to it. The fan shroud stays. You can't see what you are doing and the throttle is mounted upside down - but there are just 4 bolts holding the module to the manifold - better have a good section of 1/4 inch tools

    Might want to disconnect the battery, the positive connection on the starter is easy to brush up against after you get the air pipe out of the way.

    I checked prices and these are what I found:

    $599 (+ $100 core Could not check for shipping cost) - Xemodex
    $468 (+ $100 core + $26 Shipping) - FCPEuro
    $399 (+ $100 core + Free shipping) - IPD (Xemodex)

    Attached, I believe it's the throttle body with a white label; which means it is the original unit.
    The car is at 160K miles.

    Doing this work, I would wish I have joints in my joints or much smaller hands.

    I got in there. I can push the throttle. Since I don't know how it really should feel, the flap could be pushed in on both sides of the center pin. It is springy though, which let the flap 'spring' back to position.

    Directly from Xemodex will give you a pre-programmed unit, though costlier, but more practical.

    There isn't one on my MY04.

    Got the Xemodex throttle unit. My issue now is, I cannot push the air intake hose up into it. Is there a trick to doing this, it's kinda getting frustrating.
    Thanks.

    I remember it being a little tricky getting the air intake to mate up with TB. I'm not sure how exactly I did it. Would it help to keep the attachment bolts of the TB threaded but very loose so you had some play in the system while you're trying to install the hose?

    I thought of something similar. I thought if I could have pushed in the hose and tightened it before installing the TB, but that would be impossible to push back the whole unit into the already cramped space (the radiator fan unit is out of the way). If I loosen the bolts, it might be even more difficult to push the hose in, since it would be nice (I think) if one item (the TB) is steady. Just a thought.
    Using a mirror, the hose seem to be stuck on the edge of the TB opening and am far from having the strength of a Body-Building-Bench-Presser

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    Bolt the Throttle body up by torquing to spec, a few NM. Leave the intercooler end of the pipe loose but in place.

    The pipe goes over the throttle body and “pops” in place when the internal, concentric, ridge slides over the throttle body groove.

    A warm pipe works better than cold. Check with a mirror to be certain that you haven’t folded over an edge of the pipe. Make certain that the clamp is sufficiently loose to allow the pipe to fit over the TB.

    This doesn’t take strength, it takes dexterity.

    A bit of patience.

    And a mirror.

    And try to put the clamp back exactly where is was to avoid any possibility of an air leak
