I took your advice, pulled the pump, and took it into superior diesel to get it looked at.


thanks for the replies.

I have the exact same problem right now and would love to know how you got on getting it fixed. same engine and leaking in the exact same spot.
would really appreciate some information

I wish I could help you more, but after asking on this forum and being advised to take it to a fuel shop, that's exactly what I did.



I couldn't find anywhere on the internet any information on how to service that fuel pump or fix the leak. It was really frustrating, but I sucked it up and paid for the repair.


I understand you may not be close to a repair shop, so am hoping someone on this forum has experience with the pump and can walk you through the repair.

IMO they gave you a good reaming. Thats a 1 hr job max. Whilst I havent done a volvo injection pump looking at your parts drawing there is nothing special about replacing those as long as you match the bits to the cylinder.
Is it a Bosch pump?
$15 o-rings, shud be 15c.
