Sounds like a bad purge valve to me, but I'd suggest diagnostics before buying parts. Watch this video;

Your purge valve be either in the same place as in the video, or it could be near the fan. A new valve is around £40, but buy a genuine Volvo one.

As I said above, get the codes read before replacing parts. Otherwise, you could be just wasting money when it could be another issue.

Replacing the fuel filter is neither here nor there, so you could do that anyway because its not an expensive part. As for the purge valve, see if there's any fault codes first that relate to it before buying a new one.
