VOLVO S60 and V70 Fuel Pump Replacement. DIY, Step by Step for 01-08 models. 

You're welcome! I hope you were able to knock it out

Glad it was helpful!

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

No problem! Glad I could help!!

I appreciate that!

Glad it helped! You just made my day!

Glad it helped- Sometimes it is the easiest parts that can be the biggest pain

You got this!

I used spray silicone lube, but that works too!

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

if it is just the fuel pump, it could be a great investment.

It really is easy- just take it one step at a time.

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

Glad you enjoyed it

That sure sounds like the issue. Good Luck!

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

You’re welcome 😊

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?

Thank you

Glad I could help!

Glad it was helpful!

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.

Most welcome 😊I am glad that you found it useful

no

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.

It is certainly a problem with their install. It should be covered under warranty.

It's the gauge for the other half of the fuel tank sender unit.

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!

Thanks for watching!

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!

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)

Yes, it is the same.

Minor changes in 2008, but it's much the same. Go for it!

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.

Glad I could help!

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!

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

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.

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

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.

I can imagine all the lines strung everywhere, I do something similar but it would not look good on a video

Mecidis Benz

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 👍

No, not at all.

I am much nicer than Neegan- He is richer though

No problem!

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 ...

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?

No problem!

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 )

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

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!!

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

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. RU-vid doesn't give you a link.

@@fredericocorrea9814 I'll take another look at it today and if I find it I owe you one, thanks for the info!

Yes, it should as long at the tank is plastic.

You are welcome, I hope you found it helpful.

Painfully expensive tool, but very nice!

Never mind. Great video

It sure is!

I'm in NC, where are you?

You certainly can, but it's not required. Leave the key out for sure though!

Yes!

Puede que hayas quemado un fusible.

If you have not done it yet-- Unhook the battery before doing the repair- If you already have done the repair- you will need a fancy tool to reset it

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs yep, I left the battery connected. Thanks for the info and super helpful vid

Yes. If you don't, the SRS light will be triggered.

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Thanks for the Info.

Two problems. This is the recalled pump and the recall is only valid for 10 years.

Without more info on this, it could be many things that could be causing the no start- It there codes that can be pulled to get a better idea of what is going on with it?

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs gonna Ppl ull codes later in Day . Before it quit the Fuel pump would take 2 Tries to start with a Shrek.

That video was made pre inflation- I can't help the price changed that much

At the end of the fuel rail.

pre inflation prices- sorry

I think it is 2007, but it maybe 08. It's been a few years since I left Volvo.

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.

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

Good point on cleaning up to limit trash getting in there

There is no clip, you pull forward hard and lift up- Sounds like you have some Volvo battlescars

Yes, the pump is the same unless the S60 has a aluminum tank.

@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs igual la de una camioneta xc90 2004 le quedara a mi volvo s60 2006?
