Might be worth reading up on Volvo charcoal filter to see if they gives you any more clue.

Good luck

Oh and if you need one I’m breaking a full 2.3 240 GLT lol 😂 so check my other post for pics
Good guess, SwedishScotsman.

Looking at the photo and at the OP's location it probably is something to do with emissions; if the OP's car has a B230K engine it's part of the EGR set-up.
