Which Walbro Pump Is Recommended '95 T5R

[erikv11]

To be clear I don't know from experience how loud the Walbros are, just from what I read, mostly on Volvospeed, that the Walbro is a loud pump.

I have had loud, aftermarket pumps, my wagon has one now (it came with it!) but I doubt it is a Walbro, I hear it buzzing away any time I bother to listen for it. I am assuming the Walbro is similar but I am only reporting what I read.

You betcha.

I have the Walbro 255. It makes a nice yelp at startup, but you don't really hear it after that.

Thanks j-dawg. Does your V70 use the same pump as the 850's?

I don't think the factory pump is the same. I know the bracket changed - it's a little less finicky on 99+ cars - and I think the wiring may also be a little different.

The Walbro pump you'd need is the same. The kit I bought had parts to adapt the pump to 93-98 as well as 99+ cars.

I don't know if it helps but based on junkyard hunting I would say that all FWD P80 cars have interchangeable fuel pumps, appearance differences aside; I have grabbed from 99 and 00 x70s and used them for my fleet, but have never owned one of those ETM cars. FCP sells only one part for all of them, etc.

Whatever you decide on, I would suggest a new, OEM gasket for the top of the pump.

That is very helpful. Do you mean this gasket: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo- ... 70-9447141

Yes, that's the one. That's weird that FCP prices it high like a genuine Volvo part but doesn't call it one. I might go with another source like this http://volvopartslisle.com/part/OEM-Vol ... 141/Gasket or this http://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/8335/Fu ... g-9447141/.
