    Sounds like the lock cylinder has failed internally, normally we replace the entire lock assembly by drilling out the security bolts and installing a 3-5 day special ordered part. So prepare to wait for the cylinder to be made and installed by your local Volvo specialized repair facility. Good luck -Sam
