S80 Engine Stalling at Idle

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with my 2016 Volvo S80 diesel. It has about 149250 km on it. The check engine light keeps coming on, and the engine occasionally stalls at idle. I suspect it might be the tank ventilation valve. Could clogged hoses be the cause? Any ideas?

Hey, I had something similar happen with my S80. Check your gas cap and the purge valve. Is it hard to open the gas cap, like there's a vacuum?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check the gas cap. Where exactly is the purge valve located, and is there a way to check if it's working correctly?

It's near the engine, part of the emission system. Honestly, it's a pain to get to. If the gas cap is acting weird, and the light's still on, I'd just take it to a workshop. Save yourself the headache.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right, it was a ventilation issue. Turns out the hoses were indeed clogged, as I suspected. The repair cost 175€. Appreciate the help!
