That sounds odd. I live in France and have had 6 Volvo's all with day-run lights now and its never been an issue when tested.

Good old France eh?

Yes to AC compressor clutches and the gap getting too wide with age. Mine did that on my old 850. Its easy to check. Repairs can be done with shims or with wire.
I did the 'wire' repair on mine following a tutorial on matthewsvolvosite forum.
Worked a treat.
Good luck.

Hey Paul,

Yes it failed cause of the new reg... "Intensité lumineuse trop forte".
I did failed also the smog test by just a hair !

I managed to found why my boost gauge wasn't working. The white vacuum line was cut in the middle. I attached it again and it went to life, but the car didn't run well... I accelerated hardly and it unplugged itself just by pressure ( the white vacuum line is attached just by a rubber ), then the car started running better the moment it unplugged !
How could that be ? Meaning my pcv is dead maybe ?
