Try posting in the main section http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=17 and you will get more replies
Could it be because of the cold weather we are experiencing at the moment?

Great Post. But for the uninitiated in acronyms, what is a PCV please?

I think it is like the vapour trails on high flying jet aircraft, hot exhaust gases hitting the cold atmosphere, my '98 V40T does the same and I have had mine for 9 yrs.

V40
I bought a v40 on a 51 plate. I had it 2 weeks when the engine light came on and I limped home. Code of P1221 was displayed on the obdII reader. After purchasing a second hand throttle body and fitting it myself (yes I made sure it was the exact same part number on the replacement as it was on the old one). I fired it up and it shot up to 2000 rpm. Over the course of the following 2 weeks it did settle down to 645rpm. Also the near side rear wheel bearing needs replacing as do both outer cv joints. However since I bought the car the engine has never seemed to have any oomph at pull off. I put my foot down and it seems to be holding back. Also, the brake pedal vibrates when i put pressure on it anyone know why this may be happening? I paid £900 for the car, have I bought a lemon??? Anyone have any idea as to the reason behind the lack of oomph?

I'm pretty sure it's more of a 'CD-i', not sure what CD means though, probably gets lost in translation. I think there were three trim levels for the Phase 1 cars - XS (standard), SE (executive) and CD (luxury). Yours is a CDi - Luxury trim with injection engine. I would like to know what the CD stands for too though.
