Hi Klaus.

My indy mentioned the J-hose as well. I asked him about lines going between the front and rear, and he said "not to his knowledge". I should add that he stopped doing late model Volvos when Ford increased the documentation support to $10K a year, so he doesn't work on many late model ones. He recently got "cracked" software from somewhere so he can communicate with the computers (:

However, he recently hired a Volvo tech who is familiar with them, and maybe I'll go try to find him. I rescheduled the stealer appointment. I'm still nervous about getting whacked with a $200+ bill.

From what I have found, the 2005 canister is in the back, above the fuel tank on the driver's side. I'm going to go look and see what I can find. I understand you have to take the back wheel off to see it.
