That's what they did on mine and it failed. The technician reckons it's the piston rings causing blow by and blocking the cooler, due to low mileage (30k), supermarket fuel and driving style.
It's low mileage but not used for short trips as I have another car for running round. Supermarket fuel yes. Driven quite hard, I don't know if that's good or bad.
Anyway, mines at the dealers having a new engine fitted so I hope yours hasn't gone the same way.

About my14 - V60
The cylinder leakage test failed (60% on cylinder 1, from 17% to 20% on other cylinders)(june 2018).
Volvo asks me to pay for opening the engine in order to check the cylinder head (breech). I refuse to pay for a problem linked to many EGR system failure. Volvo said that my case is unique !
Volvo will replace for the 3rd time the cooler (march 2016 and october 2017)... but everyone knows that in 30000kms the cooler will be full again...
Volvo was known for longevity cars... but it was in the past...
ChrisV60 => your car has cylinders leaks ? What did Volvo do ? Did they participate ?
Thanks
