I HAVE A 2004 XC70 WITH 56,000 MILES. RECENTLY, THE "REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE" LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO APPARENT CHANGE IN HANDLING OR ACCELERATION. THE LIGHT THEN WENT OFF THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THE CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THIS TIME ALONG WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT, AND THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO ACCELERATION. I GOT THE CAR TO LIMP ALONG AT ABOUT 5 MPH WITH THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON TO THE CLOSEST GARAGE, WHERE I LEFT IT OVERNIGHT. THE MECHANIC RAN THE DIAGNOSTICS ON THE COMPUTER AND THE CODE FOR THE THROTTLE BODY APPEARED. HE CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT INDICATED THAT MIGHT NOT TOTALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THAT IF IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT A DEALER. (OTHER THAN SEVERAL OIL CHANGES, ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT A VOLVO DEALER.) THE CAR WORKED WELL...
