V60 D4 Manual. 2014, 96k miles. EMU came on last week after a year of jerky pull aways when cold and surging also when cold. Went to my Pershore Volvo specialist for its full service and a known cambelt change. Has ended up being a new inlet manifold, EGR and cooler too, which was so sooted up the job has taken 3 days and a grand total (inc service and cambelt) of around £2300. Car does 90% motorway miles and around 500 miles per week. Is this something Volvo should be responsible for? They say the inlet manifold recall has already been done on the car, but are unable to see when as it wasn't at their Swindon dealership. It wasn't done in my ownership. Thanks all.

It should but, since the car is around 10 years old, they'll no doubt duck.

Looks like I have the code for EGR again. Had it replaced during lockdown with full goodwill. Car is a 2015 D4 with 141,000 on the clock. Not sure what to do as was going to change soon. I also have been getting soot filter full message as well.

Hi, V40 D4 2015 115k km here, anyone knows if the Vacuum controled valve that actuates the flap on the EGR COOLER can be moved manualy? The Electrical valve is giving 20%-50% error most of the time. With car off, the valve sticks open if i push it by hand. But it still closes and have a EGR flow between 0 and 19g/s readings during driving. If the cooler is clogged completly would it still give any flow?
Symptoms are, rpm flutctuation at idle when cold, light aceleration is slow/labored and it will give a big hicup sometimes around 1200rpm in drive, Shifting gears the car is not smooth(manual), tendency to stall in low rpm where it should have more power, even compared to a gasoline engine. Tested the re-adaptation removing the battery, truth is the car drives perfect that first drive. EGR is off on first BOOT, afterwards starts, EGR valve opens as soon as i start the car and does like a Self test that opens and closes the valve 5 or 6 times or something and is there that RPM fail 825rpm to 730rpm drop for a split second and EGR Error above 60%. car has the newest pipe work done. Intake manifold is new, had Swirl motor stuck also...
