Default Cutting out help required please

This one is a quite long and a bit tricky, help is required please.
V70 D5 2.4D 2009 163 BHP no flaps Auto.
The car started stalling recently on tick-over, it would always restart immediately and drives ok. It now stalls within 10 seconds of tick-over each time. Yesterday I changed the fuel filter and replaced with genuine volvo filter and it’s no different.
The interesting thing though is that the cartridge filter was crushed in the housing. When I first replaced the filter on buying the car I remember the filter also crushed this too was genuine volvo.
Either the filter is slightly too long by a few mm or the housing is too short by a few mm or the filter is the incorrect one. Last one I bought direct from FRF volvo using the reg number of the car.
A quick look online at 5 various makes of filter show the length of PN 31342922 being from 110.5 mm to 114mm?
Could my Issue be air getting into the fuel line somewhere due to this and low fuel pressure?

To complicate matters but possibly connected when you accelerate hard it goes into limp mode and requires switching off for 1 minute before limp mode is gone. It has always done this in the 2 years of ownership, driving gently no problems misfires or flatspots.

I will attempt to add pictures of my crushed filter and the screenshots from VIDA I took last week in my next post.

Update

After some logical thought and a chat with a volvo specialist, We have guessed that I have a faulty in tank pump that is stopping flow or even running backwards, this is causing the vacuum between the tank and engine and sucking the fuel filter flat.

This evening I will drop the tank remove and clean pump and tank and all should be revealed (crosses fingers)

£300 is a lot for a pump, but if it fixes the car and the long standing limp mode issue I've had from day 1, I will be pleased.

Update tomorrow.

That fuel filter looks quite dirty & has a rusty residue on it? Cleaning the tank might not be a bad idea.

I used a Mann fuel filter in my car. I think they manufactured parts for Volvo in the past, they may well still do. On inspection when I changed mine, the part numbers were the exact same on the Volvo filter as the Mann one!

Your car is a 2009 model. I thought all euro 4's had swirl flaps, or is it only the ones with grey engine covers that do?

Mr Tickle
I had a problem with my 2.5D 1999 which kept on going into limp mode when accelerating
hard or being put under load going up hills.Re-set by turning off ignition and starting.
This turned out to be the MAP sensor failing,this did not show up on diagnostics for my car.
Might be worth looking at this,it’s a fairly cheap fix you can do yourself.

Hope you sort it.

Rob

In Conclusion:

See my other thread for a more detailed response.

In short - My in tank fuel pump had a blockage in the electric motor. It was still pumping but something must have been breaking down inside and restricting the flow of fuel through it also.

New in tank pump unit fitted and now running perfectly - no more limp mode or cutting out on tickover.

Thanks for you assistance.
