Re: 2000 V70XC New fuel pump but no fuel pressure

Realize your post is a few years old, but it was a good reference for us, had the same problem. After a whole day wasted testing, researching and more testing - not to mention a few arguments and hard feelings - found the new part broken. Wondering if this was the same failure you had? Ours was the ...

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

Problem solved - or at least identified. Removed assembly, found pump broken off at stem. Disheartening to say the least! I guess the positive is that it wasn't us this time, or the car! So, she'll sit for a few more days... really too bad this didn't happen in summer when I could hop in the old 245 ...

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

Thanks Neil. Also found a Volvo parts diagram. Still befuddled at the no pumpage from "running" fuel pump. Guess we're going to have to bite the bullet, take it out, and bench test it.

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

Thanks again Neil. I'll look that up. Meanwhile, this ejector - it is somehow electrically linked to the main fuel pump? Or is it powered separately (if it's powered at all...)

It seems that even if it were damaged, we'd get fuel pumping out of the main pump from the RH side of the tank which has ...

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

Another update. Loosened pump w/o disconnecting, but could see that there is plenty of fuel covering assembly, so doubtful it is a submersion/priming issue. <sigh>

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

Just spoke with FCP, he suggested more fuel in tank, that it's possibly a priming issue. Any thoughts on that?

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

Another note - when we removed the original pump, we did pump fuel out of the RH fuel tank, taking it from the access hole created with the old pump removed. Pumped it to just about empty. After installing new pump, we have poured ~3 gallons back into the tank, via the fuel filler neck.

Does ...

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

cn90 - we just checked that. Reversed polarity, cycled key and pump ran (for the same short burst, but making a higher pitched whine), but still no fuel delivered - this still with line connected to fuel out right at pump.

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

Wizechatmgr, are you saying that your fuel pump cycled (made sounds but would not pump fuel) with the fuse blown?

Re: 99 V70-XC New Fuel pump - starting procedure?

Additionally, the fuel gauge is registering fuel, so that part's working.
