- Here is one that many people pay big bucks for. The fuel pumps in these will leak, or fail altogether, and it can cost an average of $500 to $750 yo replacement at a shop.
I bought this pump on ebay for less than $80, and splurged for the $18 fuel pump socket to go with it.
When your done, you can always resell the socket! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
This is a great video, an example for all repair video makers. Showing all the details. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
About to do this on my '05 XC70 and I can't thank you enough for how excellent this tutorial is.
You're welcome! I hope you were able to knock it out
If you're in the US, check with your local Volvo dealer to see if they'll replace the pump under Manufacturer Campaign Number R220. I'm in Germany, so many thanks for this video as I have to do mine myself (or pay someone to do it)
Thanks for the info!
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs did it really work?
Thier was a weird recall from Volvo with fuel pumps so If you have one call yr dealer ship and see if yr car is fits the recall
Thank you so much for this great video...just what i needed, and finally I could leave this frustration behind :-)
Thanks, really great video. The world need more people like you, brother.
I appreciate that!
True ex-Volvo mechanic in action. I am from the country of Volvo (Sweden). You are the best, thanks for sharing.
No problem! Glad I could help!!
Thank you very much for the great video! Due to your detailed description it was very doable and took me about an hour!🙂Well done and greeting from Germany!
Glad it helped! You just made my day!
Thanks so much for the video. After watching it, the hardest part was removing the panel between the rear passenger seat and the door, lol!
Glad it helped- Sometimes it is the easiest parts that can be the biggest pain
wow, amazing tutorial! now its time for me to go ahead and get it done myself!!
You got this!
Excellent and thank you, just to add, Grease on the threads really helps when tightening!
I used spray silicone lube, but that works too!
Great job, you made it look easy!
It really is not that hard of a job once you have done it a few times, it is just time consuming the first few times
I’m considering buying a cheap V70 that needs a new fuel pump, appreciate the video
if it is just the fuel pump, it could be a great investment.
..oh my God!!, ..easy?..well , thanks for share you experience.
..I'm the next with my car.
Have a good weekend .
It really is easy- just take it one step at a time.
Great video! I've got a fuel gauge reading empty all the time. Research says entire fuel pump needed to fix the issue. Anyway to test
Yes. Unplug the connector and ground the right pin. The fuel gauge should go to full. if it does, the problem is the pump, if it doesn't check the wiring, or it could be in the dash. Both of those issues are rare on the 01 models.
The right pin from which angle of view?@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs
Nice job, very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it
Im grateful as well im still trying to confirm it is the fuel pump i replaced the pemm fuel unit and that didnt fix the issue. I didnt really hear the fuel pump and the nipple on the fuel rail didnt emit out alot of gasoline. so everything steers toward the fuel pump Thanks for all the great detail
That sure sounds like the issue. Good Luck!
1 good thing Volvo did, at least you don't have to drop the fuel tank like so many other vehicles. At one point in my life I remember making an access plate in the trunk for my 91 Lincoln Mark VII for the fuel pump.
I hated doing fuel pumps that were in the gas tank- no easy way of doing it and when it was done, I smelled like gas for a week. No matter how much I showered
great great u made it look so easy thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for the tip I believe this applies to v70 model also.
Yes it does, S70, S60, V70 and XC70 should all be the same.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs thanks for the video, but my volvo v70 has no wiring from fuel pump,can I do any conversion?
Really good video. Thanks
Thank you
Thank you. I had to check if the pump had a spring loaded valve defect when securing it. I was afraid I could be pushing down on the pump-side float. I’m all good now. Thanks again!
Glad I could help!
Watching your video helped me to save quite some money, thanks!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for the information.
Glad it was helpful!
great tutorial, did everything as shown and solved my non starting problem. However I now have an airbag light illuminated and assuming its the one I unplugged on rear seat, I did get a bit excited and started the car without replacing rear seats !!! any ideas how to turn it off without plugging into reader ??
Usually you'll need a scan tool to reset it, but you can try disconnecting the battery and then hold the two terminals together for 120 seconds to preform a hard reset.
Thank you for helping me 😊
Most welcome 😊I am glad that you found it useful
Nicely done presentation. Can I assume that I am hearing gunshots in the background here and there.
no
I have 2006 volvo s60 t5 I've ordered 3 pumps all the fitments checked out but when mechanic goes to put plug in the connector its either too big or wont go all the way in, Any suggestions or solutions are definitely needed an wanted for this problem THANKS!
Volvo for some reason also made a steel gas tank in a few cars of this era. If yours is steel, it takes a different pump.
Great video. I had this done under warranty. Reeked of gasoline for days. After that, the engine completely cuts out at about 1/4, sometimes 1/2 tank then starts right back up. They wanted 16 hours to drop the tank when I called... When I opened up the level gauge side, it's still covered in 20 years of dust. Did they not replace the FP whatsoever? Or is the siphon somehow still dangling in the fuel tank?
It is certainly a problem with their install. It should be covered under warranty.
Replacing mine in a 04 V70R. Brilliant video. But all the replacement pumps I find online have only one connector, yet claim to be a fit. Like the one in the video, mine has two. What does the second connector do?
It's the gauge for the other half of the fuel tank sender unit.
Hey! Great video! I have no connector on my old pump. It looks like the new pump on this video has the connector but no actual pins in it. All of the replacement ones I can find have the connector and actual pins in the connector. Am I searching for the wrong pump or are they all interchangeable?
Does yours have a steel gas tank? If it's an s60 with that steel tank, it's different, but I can't remember what they changed. Sorry!
Well done. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
hi from france ! great video. Similar job for my volvo next week. You are from USA, but in what state ?
Great video! I wonder what the mechanics did wrong on my car but after replacing the pump and after fueling up my dash showed half full. They tried to fix it - adjust wires - but same issue. Eventually they put together old and new pump and it's kind of ok but the car is put of gas before I see the red bulb turning on. Actually it shows like 10% still in. Was it too cheap pump. Would getting something like Bosch fix it?
They installed the pump and or sender at the wrong angle. The arrow has to point up.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs @PistonShack said "Most likely fuel sender unit inside the tank got bent or damaged during the installation process" Checking the arrows is easy enough to get that off the list. I hope it's the arrows! Thanks for help!
Any tips for when that line gets caught between the tanks? Can’t get the old pump out
Keep wiggling it back and forth to you can get it to a good spot= Don't loose the string ( it will be a very bad day for you)
I am from Korea. My car is the Volvo v70 2001 xc 2.4t model. Is it the same model as the one posted on the video? Thank you
Yes, it is the same.
Does this way also apply to -09 model s60? and if not, how much different the way of fixing this problem is with that model?
Minor changes in 2008, but it's much the same. Go for it!
Great tutorial! One question tho: My original pump has no connector on the top. (It also looked like your original one didn’t) But all the replacement pumps have the connector on top, just like your replacement. Do you just not plug it in?
That is correct. The plastic mold is used on other models that have a connector there.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Thanks for the reply and again for the great tutorial. Just finished the job and it wasn't hard at all, just frustating and tricky getting the pump in and lined up nicely.
Thanks for the video, very helpful! I just replaced my son's 1999 S70 pump recently and it was WAY easier in comparison to this one. My 2001 V70 XC is exhibiting the same symptom as his was (longer and longer cranking duration before she fired up) so proactively got a replacement pump. My question is on the pump side float, was it difficult to get the float out of the opening, and then back into the opening with the new pump? The pump float ball is clearly sticking out on the arm and the pump opening in the tank looks super tight. Were you just able to angle the float in and then guide the rest of the pump into the tank opening? The video did not seem to show how you managed to get the pump side float in with the rest of the pump so just wondering. For the sending unit it seems the float on that side is easier to guide back in after you get the wires reconnected compared to the pump side? Thanks again!
It's not hard at all, you just angle the pump to get the float in the hole, then push down the rest of the unit.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Awesome, that's what I was hoping to hear so thanks for the confirm. When I saw the removal I was just wondering if the ball float was what might have snagged and made the removal a bit of a challenge. I got the replacement pump and gaskets yesterday including a ring removal tool (the job just looks so much easier with the tool). Tank is about 1/8 full so now to just have wait for a mild New England days to take it on. Thanks again.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Well, it was 45F yesterday so decided to tackle the fuel pump job. Went off without a hitch....well almost! The video really helped, everything was exactly as you outlined and I was able to angle the pump to easily get the ball float into the opening. That cable tip to snake the wire and hose harness through was huge, I cannot even imagine how I'd get that damned thing thru w/o that cable tied off. Also, the tool was SO worth the $. My only frustration with the actual job was keeping the pump and sending unit aligned and the arrow pointing between the hash mark lines on the tank, even with the offset you suggested I kept overshooting the mark and needing to back off and try again. I ended up bracing the units with a large screwdriver to keep them from moving, all good! One huge bummer that was self inflicted by me, I decided to prime and drive the car before I buttoned everything up, just to make sure no leaks, and top the tank off to be sure seals was good. Confirmed no leaks, and everything buttoned up perfectly when I got back into the drive. Problem is that when I started the car w/o the seat installed and airbag connector plugged in I immediately set an "SRS_Airbag Service Urgent" error on the Message Window on the left. I have to assume this is because I started and drove it without the seat installed and airbag wire connector plugged back in? I cannot get rid of this error message and have the orange exclamation point staring me in the face every time I drive it now. Any ideas on how to clear that error message (battery disconnect did not do it)? Thanks again!
Just to close this off, I was able to clear this SRS error code with the help of my local repair shop using his tool, a no charge easy fix....lesson learned for me as I caused this error by driving w/o the rear seat air bag connector installed (so I could see both the fuel pump and sending unit assys to make sure they were not leaking). Thanks again - this video was a huge help for me to get this job done - properly!
Thank you sir
Glad I could help!
hi,
should the Volvo V70 2002 D5 diesel have the same? On my Volvo, diesel is constantly dripping on the right side somewhere on top of the tank and I don’t know what to do, where to look!
thanks from Germany
I wish I could tell you for sure, but they haven't sold Volvo diesels here since 1987.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairsok, thanks 👍
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs I disassembled my car and yes, it’s the same as in the gasoline version
Great video! I just replaced the fuel sending unit in my 2007 s60. I just bought this car, and the second gas fill up was after the repair. I immediately smelled gas from outside the vehicle, near the rear of the vehicle. I thought at first that I didn’t do the repair correctly, but I went back over everything, ensuring a good seal. So I think I had a leak somewhere before I did the repair. Are there any known places to check? I have a smell of gas when the tank is full with no drips anywhere. Any advice? Your videos are great, I’ve used a few of them….thank you friend.
Worth noting that the smell
Is outside the vehicle, with the windows up I’m not really getting anything inside the car.
I'd say it's a o-ring issue. it may have slipped and fell partially into the tank during the tightening. Run the tank down past 1/2 and then recheck that both o-rings are seated right.
Hi, thx for the video! I had mine replaced in a garage, and now, the car has difficulties starting up cold - it requires up to 20 sec on the starter - any ideas why? It looks like the fuel needs a lot of time to be delievered to the engine. Happens every time on cold. Thx for any hints
sounds like the fuel is leaking back into the tank. Did you just replace the pump, or the entire assembly? The anti drainback valve is in the assembly so it may be defective.
the fuel did return to the tank, but through faulty/dead fuel injector. It was causing difficulties with building up the fuel pressure on the common rail and delayed start of the engine. The overflow test revealed the issue. With injector replaced all works fine. Thx.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs
Awesome video. Do all the P2 volvos have a separate sending unit? When I remove the drivers side metal cover where the sending unit would be, there is nothing there but the top of the tank. No lock ring or any cables to indicate there is a sending unit in there. Can the sending unit be located somewhere else, or be integrated with the fuel pump?
Is your tank metal? The metal tanks used in some S60's used a different all in one style pump.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs HI, thanks for your reply. Yes, evidently my 2006 V70 does have a metal tank. I was not even aware there was another option and it was not mentioned in the video. I only found out when I started to do the repair as you outlined in your video and found nothing but the top of the tank beneath the cover on the drivers side rear floor, where the sending unit would be. I was able to find another video that shows both options and details the procedure for both. As you know, the procedure for the metal tank is vastly different. So be aware, it is not just the S60's that were fitted with the metal tank, V70's also have them, at least my does.
Great video Erik . I did a job similar to this years ago in a late 80’s model RX-7 . Similar but not as hard as this . I had strings, rope, bungee cords strung out everywhere like spaghetti holding back the carpet , liner and a few other things lol But it worked . Was the fuel pump on one side , and the fuel sending unit on the other side , with a cable harness connecting them together?
I can imagine all the lines strung everywhere, I do something similar but it would not look good on a video
Mecidis Benz
I watched it again and answered my own question 👍. Is that common in foreign cars ? The two in tank pumps I’ve replaced over the years , 88 RX-7 , and an 02 Mustang , the fuel level sending unit was all one unit with the pump .
No, Volvo just LOVES to be different. The tank is a saddle style tank so fuel fills both sides, but past the 1/2 way point it doesn't flow side to side so there is the second line run over there to help regulate the level.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs
Gotcha 👍
Does the car require reprogramming at all after installation of a new pump? ( I have 2001 S60)
No, not at all.
Pretty cool getting your car fixed by Neegan.
I am much nicer than Neegan- He is richer though
thanks for the Vid
No problem!
what was the milage on this wagon ...from what ive seen they usually go out any where from 160k-190k and the 190k it starts cutting out while at a stop light or something ...my s60 has 172k and ordered the fuel pump (Bosch) to do this soon ... not hard but time consuming and like Volvos 19 steps before you get to swich out the problem part . the tool is worth every dollar i practiced at a local junk yard and very ez to turn....
It has about 170k on it, fuel pumps do wear with age.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs yes from the s70s and 850s and s60 ive owned about 160-180k they start shutting off randomly at stop lights and such and with in 5-8k after that they just dont start back up one day. ive always went back in with a Bosch unit as they lasted 150k plus not sure how long the Chinese fuel units last but i figure id never need to do it again or in a few years if i went cheap... im not a math guy but was working on how many gallons it pumped at 18-gallon tank and 400 miles to the tank with 170k on the dash ... why i didnt do the cheaper fuel pump units ...
Just replaced my fuel pump and it started up and drove fine for the first 5 minutes. Then I started getting rough idles and a p2187 code came up. Any idea why?
Kinked hose, or the pump is not pulling from the other side of the saddle tank. Pull it out and verify proper placement and alignment.
Okay thanks, redid it and I don’t get the code anymore. But now when I start my car it’ll run for a minute then idle out. Is this a problem with the fuel pump or something different entirely?
Tank you bro
No problem!
Thank you for the thorough explanation and showing the whole process on video. Just subscribed! Is this on a plastic fuel tank? Also I saw another comment about the fuel gauge showing empty. That's the issue with mine too. I'm thinking if I need to buy a new sending unit, might as well buy both new and a new pump, so I can put my interior back together and not worry about it for years. Is there a way to just take the potentiometer out for the sending unit without removing the whole fuel pump assembly and fishing wire from side to side? I was considering repairing the pot and seeing if that fixes it, otherwise just buy new everything and put it to bed.
This is a plastic tank, and my advice is to go ahead and swap the entire unit. trying to fix it is more trouble than its worth.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs sounds good man, will do and thanks!
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs I'm going to have to rewatch the video because I couldn't see how you took out the sending unit that's on the fuel pump side. Does it attach to the fuel pump, or is it mounted independently?
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs just realized, I think the sending unit that is on the pump side is built into the pump. I got thrown off because it is also sold separately but seems to be included in the pump assembly for passenger side. But there's an independent sending unit for driver side (non pump side )
My Volvo won’t start not because of the battery but u think it has something to do with the fuel pump, will this replacement fix this problem?
A dead battery is not going to be caused by a failing fuel pump. These cars had a lot of issues with the electrical systems, so I'd be searching for a parasitic draw.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs I see thanks man
Can you please add a link for the fuel pump and removal tool if you have them?
I could not find the link for the tool- I think I got it off of ebay- did not get the high end tool as I would not need it that often. The fuel pump- shop around for the best price. Hint: Don't trust Amazon when they tell you that a part will fit your car- they LIE!!
I ordered a fuel pump for my 2003 Volvo V70 XC, it's a BOSCH pump and the instructions say "A new filter screen is required" but doesn't come with the new pump. What are they talking about??? I don't want to start the job without all the parts?
It should come with it if you got the assembly- if you just bought just the pump alone, I would return it and get the full assembly. The filter is very important
That's weird, I got access to the circle cover on the passenger side and removed it but there was nothing under it besides just the top of the gas tank. And my fuel filter isn't under the passenger side of the car either.
You have a steel tank model. They are different. The steel tank is not compatible with the composite tank pump because all the pump components are on the passenger side. The fuel filter for both is located underneath the car on the passenger side about where the rear door is. It has a Schrader valve to release the pressure and the same type of connectors for the fuel as the fuel pump. It holds a lot of fuel so have something there to catch it. I hope this helps.
@@fredericocorrea9814 Nah there's no filter there lol trust me I looked everywhere
@@nwsights6301 I promise it's there. It's tucked in there but it's there. Look in about 8 inches in from the side of the car, in front of the rear wheel well about where the bottom rear seat pad ends under the car. I passed it myself several times when I looked for it. I'd send you a picture but I don't know how. CZcams doesn't give you a link.

Looks like its worth $700!
No need to pay that- anyone could do this
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Thx for the support. Just seeing all that gasoline in my back seat! One thing you could've mentioned. If someone wants to spend the money, there are 12v inline gasoline-rated pumps you could use to empty out the tank before doing the work. I luckily just bought one to drain the fuel out of a car that had been sitting for years. So maybe between that and your encouragement I'll do it. Hopefully it'll be the filter or sensor which I'm doing first. Anyway, thanks for the video and and the encouragement.
$350 for that pump in Canada June 2022
Dang. Inflation sucks!
I paid $43 for the red tool on Amazon. Was not able to remove the cover without the tool. Broke a few teeth attempting to remove it without the tool
Flat rate techs have to hurry to make a paycheck but if I was doing it myself, take your time and be a bit more gentle with all that or you’re going to create more problems. Definitely clean up around the pump and level sensor before you open them up and drop a bunch of debris into the tank and cause more issues…
Good point on cleaning up to limit trash getting in there
I can't find this damn clip to take off the side cushion on the passenger side for the life of me. I'm bleeding like a motherfucker getting cut and pinched by everything down there
There is no clip, you pull forward hard and lift up- Sounds like you have some Volvo battlescars
