The PCV kit (even a Volvo original) is a poor design, and really shows its failings on high-miler cars. It's only pipe-work anyway, some of us run copper pipe. I made the small-bore vacuum hose out of far larger 6mm stainless. The stock item is so small it's a joke. In 6mm it won't clog and fail emissions etc.
The Volvo branded PCV kit requires large parts of it thrown again.

See:

The better solution is listed. Hose is hose is hose. See your plumber's merchant. These cars require full synth oil or the PCV clogs,more so with the factory spec PCV.
