Car Forum / Volvo Cars / September 2005'99 XcV70 Fuel Pump went - OUCH!
My wagon had been behaving fine... Replacing the ABS module was on the list to do when I got the time & Money, and was creeping up the list... The other day I went to move it... It wouldn't start... cranked fine, but would not even sputter. Called the shop and they sent a tow truck... After much testing they said the Fuel pump went bad, and it is a PAIN to get to... Drop the Rear Axle, then the shaft, then the tank, then replace the pump. Over $2500. MAJOR OUCH. I didn't try an independent shop as this is my company car and I need it back FAST... but OUCH again... Anyone else got bit by this one... Hear lots of stories about Fuel filters recently due to bad gas... could that be the same cause ?  SignatureBob Sisson Bob at Sisson Family dot com "Over $2500. MAJOR OUCH" wow!!...to change out one of the fuel pumps?? damm, i would check w/a volvo dealer and get the "book rate" on that job....it sounds way high....... I did... and that was about right. The NON-AWD was less than HALF of that. A LOT of the labor was dropping the Axel and propeller shaft... SignatureBob Sisson Bob at Sisson Family dot com well...it must take something like 8 hrs to drop the axel and prop shaft at a dealers labor rate...sheeze, thats crazy....
