Hello Zebster,
I asked my dealer if the problems might be a symptom of something more profound. Our neighbour (a GP) drives a 2018 diesel XC60 almost exclusively on short trips related to work and has never had any issues. My car was a 10-month old ex-Volvo management car when I bought it, so perhaps the problem originates in the 10k miles it did then. Regardless, the dealer would not investigate the root cause, and Volvo wouldn't acknowledge the issue or help with any costs incurred in searching more deeply.
I was bound to be the loser if both the dealer and manufacturer refused to back me, so I sold the car.
Cheers,
Iain
