2001 S80 T6...appears to have Throttle Body issue yet Volvo not responding

Hello everyone.... a newbie here.



Mike F.....I caught you posts and noticed you are in Thornhill. I am in Richmond Hill.



I have a 2001 S80 T6 with ~61,500 km and I am having symptoms, which I believe based on other searches, is associated with the throttle body:


- rough almost groaning at times, when at idle



- air from HVAC fluctuates higher/lower, whether in drive or park



- tachometer at idle fluctuates



- lights dim



- car has even stalled on occasion



Volvo sees no fault errors when they hook up the car to the computer. In addition, they have not been able to reproduce the "stalling" issue, though all the other issues are quite obvious. Right now I am extremely frustrated with Volvo since I feel as though they don't even believe me. The car has stalled on several occasions with both my wife and daughter in the car.



I would appreciate any suggestions anyome may have in getting Volvo's attention with this issue. It seems it is falling on deaf ears.
