On my last service, dealer mentioned my 2000 V-70 needed a Volvo Throttle Body cleaning and I am wondering if this is something I would be able to do myself to salve some money??

Deposits, mostly from crankcase ventilation, will build up around the volvo throttle plate. Eventually, these deposits can become thick enough to negatively impact engine performance. Every bit Jot points out, the dealer will clean both the thottle plate and your wallet. Expect to pay about $70 for this service at the dealer.

OR… y'all can go to your local auto parts store and buy a cleaning kit for about $5. If the deposits are not also thick and take non coked or burnt onto the plate or volvo throttle torso, yous should not need to remove the whole volvo throttle plate assembly. With the engine off, merely remove the air hose from the throttle body intake and advisedly wipe away the deposits from the perimeter of the volvo throttle trunk and the throttle deejay. Yous can manually operate the throttle while you are doing this.

This is a simple service that I've never seen mentioned in any possessor's manual and I'yard certain a great number of people pay for unneeded misdiagnosed repairs when all that is required is this simple cleaning. Information technology does make a difference. You should do this at least in one case a year.
