Annoying, but at least it's being replaced free of charge, just need to get it booked in again as the part is coming from abroad.

Hope this helps, and of course I'll reply back once I've filled it up for the first time once the part has been replaced to confirm.

Oh and by the way, apparently the entire fuel tank has to be removed . . .

Great result. I'm calling my local Volvo tomorrow.
