It's a 2003. I've seen a lot of videos where they remove way more than i did. The only thing is the vent pipe is tricky but not to difficult to reinsert. I tried to to remove the side panels and couldn't so i just went for it, and this worked out. You'll have to cut around the floor pad that's over the fuel pump, and don't forget to pour some gas into the bottom of the new fuel pump to prime it. It took me a while to figure that one out. Hope this helps.
Rule of thumb would be to start the car and see if the pumps pressure still creates a leak BEFORE you start to button everything up. .....I learned that method years ago, the hard way..
That is a good rule of thumb except this was due to filling the tank up. It wasn't leaking when the fuel was below the seal, but once I filled it, the pressure started to push gas out.
Hi, hope all well. I have Volvo XC90 2010, then fuel gauge less then half, car stops. Fuel pump working ok. Looks something wrong between two fuel tanks. One tank is empty, another is full, but fuel not going to prime tank. Thanks
BEST VIDEO FOR FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT As far as the ring on the sending unit goes... you can buy tools similar that will get the job done but why? What would I ( 55 yo SWF) do with it after its one use? You can get a loaner tool from Auto Zone. This box dont look like a $90 deposit but... it's just that, a deposit and your money comes back. Thats what I used anyway. ALSO...I would have started this video with seats in the normal position and shown how to get plastic covers off and screws from the front. THEN... put seats down and show how to remove plastic covers in the back and take out the screws from the back and then just pull out the seats. You did good showing the wire on the inner seat but why move the seats up and down and up and down? BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN ON VOLVO.
@@ProZacksProjects thanks. I had a leak at the top of the pump. Found it with your vid (garage wanted to drop the tank and charge me £500), opened the inspection panel, saw the bottom two quadrants were leaking fuel, dried it all, cleaned it all, poured epoxy into all four quadrants and, before it started moving to the front edge and over slapped a cardboard disc on and weighed it down while it set. Result! Do you know how heavy a Volvo rear seat is? Suffering this morning from strained back muscles but happy to save £500 + VAT! Thank you. My Volvo XC90 is now 19 years old, 182,000 miles American import I’ve had since new. Still love it.
Hey there. Taking a shot in the dark, have been scouring the internet. Trying to do a DIY repair of the Fuel Pump Driver module, for a 2008 XC90 with 3rd row seats. Would you happen to know the exact location? I believe it is under the 2nd row passenger seat. Thanks!
I’ve tried to find something as well and nothing that is consistent. I’ve seen it say either in the rear fender wells, near the spare tire, or under the seats there. I have no idea, sorry.
I do not recall. If I remember correctly, the tank can be mostly full, but I don’t remember exactly where the top of the tank is in relation to the top of the fuel pump and the sending unit.
Hi Zac. Thanks for sharing, it’s very informative. Just wondering do I need that special tool to access the Sender unit? Or I can manage with other tools. Thanks.
From what I’ve read, you can make this tool out of pvc but if you take a hammer and screw driver to it, it’s probably going to break. That’s what some were saying on the forums and it makes sense because it’s really tight.
Did tightening it help? I replaced the o-ring thinking that could be the problem before I filled it with gas again and when I pulled the access panel back off I saw that it was leaking from the electrical connector on the top. Did you run into the same thing?
Mikee B for me it was just not tight enough. I've seen videos where it's leading around the electrical connector. I'm not sure what a proper fix would be for that. Sorry.
I bought a 08 xc90 that leaked from the fuel sender at the o-ring, cleaned the o-ring and all mating surfaces. I did NOT buy that tool tho, rubber mallot and screwdriver, baby. We'll see what happens
Very nice! I didn't want to break anything like I normally do, so that was more like insurance for me. I couldn't be without the car for a week or so while parts came in. I'm glad you got it!
@@ProZacksProjects welp now the gas guage reads empty even tho theres plenty of gas in it. I must have positioned the float wrong. Doesnt look like its leaking now, but i got to redo it now, so who knows what will happen. Very informative vid btw
Can you confirm what year this vehicle is? I have read one would have to remove all the panels around the rear seat, which you do not appear to have done? I have a 2004 XC 90. Thanks for responding. Great video. Very helpful!!
Here's a tip: when filiming a video showing how to do stuff, actually show what you are doing. watching the back of your shirt or top of your head doesnt really do it.
There were gas fumes coming into the car because that was slightly leaking. It was minimal tightening but that stopped the fumes from coming in. The car ran fine.
imagine you are in a class room listening to teacher explaining a lesson in which you are very interested and a guy next to you is playing music jamming the teachers words. What is it with y'all ??? it is a lesson video not a frikin BAD real bad music video. I was otta here after only 5 sec. oh , I got it its a prozac video . OK
If you notice the title doesn't say how to remove the pump or sending unit, it simply says fuel pump the easy way. In the description it says how to get to those parts in a matter of minutes, so im sorry that you were expecting something else. Thanks for clicking on the video though. 🙂
i'm kind of agreeing... my new pump and the top of what i can see here are different... is that a cover of sorts... does that top piece come off and the actual pump.. with connections are underneath... ? waisted afternoon at my end :/
Bro that's a ton of savings for parts and labor. Thank you

@@ProZacksProjects YEAH - BUT WHY DIDNT YOU TEST IT BEFORE PUTTING EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER ??
Thanx for great video. Is it necessary to remove 3rd row of seats?
Hey mate do you know if you need to take back seats out on 7 seater to access the fuel pump 🙏 cheers
I have the same question. According to video it is not necessary I guess

Great DIY video. Thank you for sharing
Is there an access panel for the fuel tank on a 2009 xc70 like on this xc90?
I have no idea, sorry.
Can anyone tell me what’s the extended piece he has connected to the fuel pump lock ring?
I just used a 1/2” socket extension on the block ring socket.
Did you need to remove the two third-row seats first?
Nope. I was able to lift up everything in front of the seats.

That's great. I'm glad you were able to make the repair and keep that money in your pocket.
How to take actual fuel pump out and remove ring around it disconnected hoses already
So where is the fuel pump
Under the 2nd row seats specifically the passenger side

@@ProZacksProjects Hey thanks for being a good guy with the response, I really appreciate it. You made a great video for this work!
@@josephgruber5046 thank you sir!
How full was your fuel tank at the moment when you opened it up?
I do not recall. If I remember correctly, the tank can be mostly full, but I don’t remember exactly where the top of the tank is in relation to the top of the fuel pump and the sending unit.
What year is your car, would it be similar on xc90 t5? Thanks for the video!

I thought it was a good video. It at least gives a person how to do the job. Did you disconnect the battery?
I didn’t but I would if I was going to be removing the fuel pump.
I can never understand why folks want to do videos in dark conditions....modern day they have lights and what not....
It makes it......... authentic 😉

@@JW-rv9cy thank you and my fuel gauge reads in between ⅞ and ⅝ from full to empty. I've never been able to get it to read accurately.

I saw the same video and all that extra work is totally unneccesary. Just follow the instructions like this one and it
is very easy.

Ah come on, you want to watch me mess it up and not block it? Jk I’m working on improving this. I do appreciate the feedback though.
No Shit, I thought you had a better way to save me some time.
Maybe I'll make a legit video so it actually helps people.
Theres 15 more minutes wasted
NOTHING MOVED THEN YOU ''TIGHTENED IT'' - WHY DIDNT YOU RUN THE CAR TO TEST IT BEFORE PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER ??
There were gas fumes coming into the car because that was slightly leaking. It was minimal tightening but that stopped the fumes from coming in. The car ran fine.
Sounds like there's a roof being done next door!
I believe there was. 😀

I had deleted the soundtrack, is it still on there?
Thank you for pointing that out. I’ll try deleting it again.
I just removed the music. I appreciate your honest feedback.
Ya easy. It won’t be easy making the money to pay the mechanics bill to replace the fuel pump.😂😂😂
Good job leaving out the actual taking out of the part like what is this video for, how to tighten a gasket. Completely pointless video

@@richardlevangie8733 yeah tittle should be changed instead of leaving out words making people think its a complete guide so they'll click on it
Sucks. Lets just call it that.
Woo you never remove the fuel pump i dont see nothing
I didn’t remove it because my tank was full otherwise I would’ve.
