Hello all.My car just died on me! I pulled up at matalan switched the car off and 15 mins later it wouldnt start.It has a spark at the cap and the sparkplug but when i checked for fuel pressure on the valve on the side of the fuel rail initially i thought it was ok cos fuel came no problem.So i held the valve in and eventually the pressure dropped and no more fuel came out,i turned the ignition back on and there was no pressure at the fuel rail.
My fuel pump had got a noisey a few days ago so all things considered im thinking along the lines of a buggered fuel pump?Any input will be much much appreciated & any prices for pumps.I was thinking uprated/performance pumps if it was the pump but havnt found one yet!Thanks all in advance.

Thanked 64 Times in 60 PostsDon't know about uprated pumps, but it sounds like your pump is goosed imo!
An OEM pump should be more than adequate again imo.
try partsforvolvos. or contact rufe on this site."I am never wrong! Just in a position to learn something new!"
Mods so far, HLM ReMap, Goodridge brake lines, Eibach springs lowering 35mm, K&N57i filter with cold air, Strut brace, Shark fin aerial, Boost guageYES IT'S A DIESELWish list, BOV, 18" rims, Struts, Stainless exhaust, Injector Upgrade, MORE POWER!

Thanked 2,408 Times in 1,497 PostsIf the pump had become noisy then it is quite possibly the pump, I'd also perhaps check the fuel pump relay. If it turns out to be the pump, I don't think there's a need to buy an uprated one unless your planning some serious mods.
God I'm slow at typing...........the AA turned up & diagnosed the faulty pump as I was typing !! lol
