Don't know if this will help but my 2012 D5 XC70 went into limp mode last summer. No power and would hardly accelerate.

Cleared the next time I drove it but I could hear a hissing sound when accelerating with the window down. Culprit was a damaged bottom intercooler hose. Standing at the front of the car with bonnet open, down the left of the radiator is the intercooler hose. The bracket which supports wiring loom just as the hose turns towards the front panel of the car had rubbed through the hose. I had to manipulate the hose away from the bracket to be able to feel where it had rubbed through as you just cannot see it from above.

New hose from Volvo was £80'ish and the new ones come with a protective sheath the prevent further rubbing. I also cut the sharp edge off the plastic bracket to make sure it didn't do it again.

Not saying this is your problem.....just saying it might be something worth checking.
