If so, is this AdBlue stuff a DIY refill job, or will it mean a trip to the dealers?
I see no mention of the stuff on Volvos websites nor that their new diesel engines use it?

Volvo it seems are far behind with this technology as Mercedes have used it in their diesel cars and vans since about 2011 / 2012.
The AdBlue filler cap is usually next to the fuel filler cap.
The AdBlue tank is topped up each time your vehicle is serviced at an Approved Mercedes-Benz Retailer.
One litre of AdBlue is sufficient for approximately 625 miles of driving and the size of the AdBlue tank has been designed so that you should not have to refill AdBlue between services.
AdBlue consumption may be higher depending on the type of driving, mileage and road conditions.
How much it cost i don`t know!
One useful thing a light on the dash comes on at the 3 litre level mark in the AdBlue tank as the engine won`t start if empty!!
AdBlue comes from the Dealer only!
