I read on another forum about a problem removing the pump nozzle from the capless filler on a V40 because the spring on the capless filler opening had broken so that could be the problem here. I think you will have to take the car to a Volvo dealer.

Thanks for your replies. The man from Volvo came today, lubricated the filler opening parts with silicone spray, and now it works again fine. Simple as that.
