You will be able to fit a replacement link however Volvo have re-designed the link/swirl throttles to prevent the failure occuring again.
After the link is replaced or the new type fitted (this requires the injectors removing & top engine cover/cam cover removing to replace) the DTCs will need erasing and ideally the Swirl motor/system re-calabrating.
Volvo also have a mod available which involves drilling the link and fitting a metal pin/clip. This is a very fiddley process ond oftern comes off!

Had a similar issue while driving back from France. My local volvo dealer has now diagnosed that a new swirl valve actuator and link are required. The car is just over 3 year old and 44k miles and covered by a 12 month volvo used care warranty. However the dealer is telling me the warranty won't cover this repair and will cost me £310 !!!
I read my warranty T&C's and exclusions and wouild like to understand what are these replacement parts as the only exclusion is the exhaust systems and thought we are dealing with air intake problems.
Could someone clarify ?
Cheers
