With the Engine Service required notification.... and limp home problem, there is a wealth of info on the D5 Engine section, but ....after going through all the suggestions ...including a new turbo input pipe, filter etc...

I finally tracked it down to an EGR fault, cleaned out the pipes from the EGR to the engine air intake and replaced the dump valve (which sits behind the big fat hosepipe at the front of the engine) Got a pair from scrapyard for 30 quid - all the same,but don't be tempted to fit the cheaper Skoda one - get a pirburg one for the volvo from the scrappers.
I then bought a blanking plate with a smaller hole off E-bay for 3 quid and fitted it after cleaning the pipes out (again)

Result - pulls like a train again ! started to trust it overtaking traffic.
