Just to report back, it's nearly exactly this.
Perhaps it seems warmer in the very hot weather we've had.

Yes correct! you say "dealer" but it is a misinformed person on the front desk who is in the wrong , always report these issues to the dealer principle .. If no one does then this kind of thing will never be sorted , same goes for :
" Engine cleaner" "
" Air conditioning service" , there is no such thing ...it just adds a smell to car for a week
or "Fuel treatment"
ALWAYS reject them , its a money making scam you would not expect to find in a VOLVO Main dealer , It's not supported by Volvo UK . ...
