I just donated a beloved '94 850 with approx 215k on it to charity and I am once again looking to buy another used, all be it pain in the rear, Volvo. This time I am looking into the 1998 models and I was wondering if someone with the knowledge and expertise would suggest me some tips on what to loo...

Still nothing from all that. I think I'm gonna just get rid of it. Anyone interested in this car, I'm taking offers. It will have to be towed away.

Of course it would make sense since already am buying a new pump and filter, wouldn't the sending unit need to be replaced as...

I have replaced the fuel relay (103). I opened the fuse box, there was a simple "rig job" that consisted of a wire and two flat pin connectors at pin 15 and 87. I have also checked for pressure and there was none via the schraeder valve at the tip of the fuel rail. I will go with an OEM pu...

So in that case go with new instead of a functioning used OEM f pump....?

Ok, am I correct in assuming that if it is indeed the fuel pump, should i replace it with a new one and not a used OEM fuel pump of the same kind and manufacturer?
