I'll speak to Volvo about it, but also looking into getting it deleted.

That's the only real fix for the problem on earlier VEA engines. Later engines (2017 onwards according to my Volvo mechanic), they changed the design for this very reason.
I know a lady who has a 2 litre XC60 D4 on a 64 plate (VEA engine). She's had nothing but trouble since she bought it, most of which were EGR and EGR cooler related. She won't buy a Volvo again.
All cars have problems, but it seems Volvo really messed up with these early engines and the owner's are paying hefty repair bills to sort them, especially now that these cars are out of warranty. This forum has provided a wealth of information... I will never buy an early 4 cylinder diesel VEA Volvo. I know plenty have and may have been lucky, but I think EGR issues are just a matter of "when" on an early VEA, not "if".
