Nope, does it when cold and warm, but EGR probably knacked as they all seem to be..

The difference was apparent from the first refill even my wife noticed the improvement.

Thanks for confirming the oil, I've ordered 15 litres too, so will crack on with the changes in the coming weeks.

Yeah I figured the £190 was just going to be one sump drop, the guy on the phone wasn't actually particularly helpful, didn't seem to know the specifics, not what you want from a so called specialist.
I have to say, having come from VAG cars to an XC90 and now an XC60, I find the Volvo specialists to be few and far between in comparison, and significantly less 'invested' in the cars. VAG guys are normally quite passionate about the cars and if you describe an issue they have often seen it in another vehicle so have a good starting point. Issues I've spoken to Volvo guys about are normally met with a shrug and a big quote to plug it in.
Indicative of the marque I suppose mind, Volvos are generally much pricier and more likely to be handed off to a main dealer.
