First, check the fuel rail and make sure it is building pressure. Take the cap off the nipple (it looks and works like a tire pressure valve stem). If no pressure, first make sure a clogged fuel filter isn\'t the problem. The fuel pump is accessed under the back seat if you\'re not getting fuel to the filter. If that doesn\'t solve the problem, give me more info as to what you have done and when the problem started.

1985 Volvo 245 - Car was stored for 8 months. Wouldn't start. Got towed to garage. They diagnosed that it needed a new fuel pump. They installed one and that didn't work so they said the second...

your fuel filter, injectors and fuel regulator should all be checked-these clowns (sorry, mechanics) should have checked line pressure FIRST, and I might have suggested that the fuel tank be removed and cleaned after it failed the first time-n telling what is in the lines, and injectors are easy to clog. Since this is an older car, and more difficult to diagnose, it might be a good idea to look for a Volvo specialist that will diagnose the problem rather than throw parts at it.

99 s70 volvo has an intermittent starting issue. it will always start but often will immediately shut down it almost seems to be a fuel system problem. I did see that there was a recall on some components...

Borrow a code reader from an auto parts store (free) and see if any trouble codes show up (the device will have instructions and is easy to use). That should give you a clue to the problem. Problem could be sensors of some kind. If no codes, could be a clogged fuel filter -- when was it last changed?

The AC fan in my car (volvo s40-99) does not work

If you are talking about the blower motor fan,inside the car,look for a blown fuse,or a bad fan relay.The blower motor relay could be mounted near the blower motor,or in the relay box,look for the lables to guide you to it.If the relay,and the fan are fine,then replace the blower motor.

My Volvo D5 has a error code P0087 Fuel pressure low. When im driving the car and it goes to idil the engine shuts off while driving. What's wrong... ??

There are a few things that could cause fuel pressure:
  1. Clogged fuel filter
  2. Clogged fuel injectors
  3. Bad fuel pump
  4. Leak in fuel rail
You should start with the fuel filter as this would be the most common cause. It would be a good idea to check the fuel rail first, although it's less likely to be the problem if you do find a leak, it would tend to eliminate the other conditions. Best of luck.

I have accidentally refuelled a diesel Volvo V50 R design with unleaded any idea where the fuel sump is so I can drain Cheers

You have to drain the fuel tank and disconnect fuel lines and blow out with compressed air. The fuel pump is in the tank take it out and spray down with WD-40. If you run the car with unlead gas it will damage the motor.

99 volvo v70 xc back hatch will not open

It could be just a censor in the door itself. My truck does this. Its nothing serious, just means the the censor is burnt out. I could be wrong, take it in and have someone else look at it. If you think it is a spring, try looking for it on ebay autos. You can find lots of stuff there cheaper than you will at a dealership. Then just have it installed. Good luck.
