From the link it appears that even a cracked hose is covered under the warranty.

I am just not thrilled with having a Volvo shop get in there to snoop about.
I've seen various posts on different sites such as this --
"Had this done on my `06 last month. Fully covered under the extended warranty. Make sure you talk to the Service Manager first before talking to the Service desk guys. The Service desk guy was not aware of it and tried to charge me for the work. "
I've even seen posts where the shop denied a no-charge warranty situation. Then the person had to send the invoice to Volvo USA.
Not sure what flat rate is to change out the box but it may be more than the 2 hour warranty payment. Not saying it is all shops but some shops may get away with saying it wasn't covered under #205, charging more than the #205 payment, when in reality it should have been covered.
From what I've read the situation was fixed mid year of 2008. "Looks like it was cured mid 08 production year. #30788494 is the updated part number for the oil filter housing"
Crap just give me the good old PCV valve to replace. Sigh :) :) :) I can change those in 5 minutes dressed in my Sunday best.
