So it doesn't sound like the shop was able to fix your problem. Was it an indy that specializes in volvos?
I would think a reading of 12.4+ volts on your battery would be fine. The garage's remark that volvos are "different" sounds suspicious.
The key to solving your problem is probly in fault-tracing the codes. Go to a garage or find someone who has the VIDA/DiCE diagnostic software designed specifically to read Volvos. The software will have instructions on how to correct the codes.
You can get more info on the codes by googling. For example, you may be having a problem with fuel delivery:
P0087 -- ECM-290D -- Fuel pressure -- Signal too low
Contact that garage and let them know your situation. Not sure you should trust them to do more work on your car but I bet you can make a case that they shouldn't have sold you that battery! Once you have the problem solved, tell them what was really wrong and see if you can get some $$ back.
