Just picked this up on Honest John:

" 14-11-2019: Volvo has submitted to the DVSA its cure for the EGR Cooler issue with VEA diesel engines. These are: A redesigned EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) coolant circuit to achieve engine working temperature faster; this will prevent excessive soot developing in the engine intake manifold system; New soot reducing software; Cleaning of temperature/pressure sensors. Volvo emphasises that there have only been a small number of reports of intake manifold failure, a subset of which have led to engine bay fires. Volvo is confident that the corrective action offers a robust solution."
Anyone any thoughts on whether this is a fix or a fudge?
Whilst there may only be a small number of manifold failures there certainly seem to be a much bigger number requiring major remedial work to get rid of excess soot in places it shouldn't be.
