I will keep you posted if I encounter this problem.

I am really happy that I've found this forum - tons of useful info for a Volvo newbie as me It looks like Volvo owners are quite helpful group of people Thanks for your replies!

I may be wrong, although I think supermarkets have a higher content of bio diesel. I dont like supermarket fuels,and have found in the past that mpg is reduced when using supermarket fuel compared to branded fuels.

I think its also that bio diesel does not evaporate so builds up, hence the rise in the oil?
