Turns out that the mechanic had badly scored the surface the seal sits on when removing the old one, enough for it to shred the new seal. A good indy Volvo mech found this out and I am now in the process of getting some reimbursement for my trouble.
Crankcase presure was not the problem of course- I didn't think so.
So, the moral i guess is don't get idiots who don't know Volvos to work on your cars, and try and do as much as you can yourself. This board is a great source of info and helps me learn alot Cheers, Jaan
