S/V60 P3 D5 S60 fuel pump failure?
I'm hoping somebody might have some information on this, as I can't find anything directly related to my issue.
I have a 2010 D5 S60 which recently stopped on me shortly after leaving work.
Found the fuel pump fuse to be blown (No.13/20A fuse), replaced the fuse and it was back up and running. Next day the fuse blew straight away, and does so now consistently.
It looks to me like the in-tank fuel pump has died and is drawing a lot of amps. But I cannot find a single similar case of this with this model, and no parts suppliers can give me a price on a new pump, let alone having one in stock (haven't tried the dealer yet). What's the chance that it isn't the pump? Cheers, Jordan.

Fairly large job to replace as you need to drop the fuel tank out from underneath as theres no access from above.
I think the dealer has a repair kit available for the wiring loom. Ill try and get you a part number tomorrow.
Main issues are you need to drop the rear subframe a fair bit to get the exhaust out of your way. The exhaust is all one piece from the flange of the particle filter to the rear muffler.
If its awd its even worse as the fuel tank sits over/above the nose of the diff a decent amount and has to come out on an angle.
You may have to completely remove the rear subframe assembly as you wont be able to hang the exhaust down enough to get the tank out.
I know you dont have to do that on a hoist but would probably have to if attempted on jackstands in the driveway
Ive decided to repair the wires and will see how the pump goes. At least if it fails in the near future I can easily get it out again and replace if need be.
