I think volvo lately has made simple repairs difficult. The oil trap is a maintenance item at 95K. That was about the miles that the trap went. I got quotes from 400-500 including parts.
After I lifted the intake out, I noticed the starter/solenoid and I think the egr. I suspect that to replace these you may have to take the intake off. You may be able to work underneath? But the placement and difficulty to replace these items is another example of volvo's repair philosophy. Just my 2 cents.
