It always makes me so happy to hear that others have been helped by something I did. Thank you for letting me know you were helped it helps me to keep going when it gets hard. 👍👍👍

You can prime fuel filter on these cars by presseing and holding start button 6 times, but don't press clutch to inhibit engine starting. You will ear fuel pump working. After that, start the engine and keep it steady at 2krpm for 1 minute, wile remaining air gets out through return line.

Hello mate. I have 2012 volvo xc60 2.0L t5 petrol. Any suggestions and help with fuel filter location? Looking for days and can't find.

As its a petrol and you can find it by following the fuel lines back from the engine, I would say it's probably built in to the pump in the tank and can't be changed

If its the D5 engine, did you change the fan belt?

Greetings Mike, Wondering if you can help me. I have a “13” XC60 w/158k. I recently had a start and immediate stall issue that’s cause me to unplug the MAF sensor to get home. Now I’m having a fuel pressure issue after replacing the sensor with a sensor firm the boneyard. Any ideas?

The diag machine didn’t give any indication at all but it turned out to be a fuel pump issue as well.

Would you prefer 30 weight or 40 weight oil for a modern(ish) diesel engine?

Allegedly (according to some forum posts referring to some oil analysis company in USA) it protects engine better than more expensive Mobil 1 (less metals in oil samples).

Check out Rotella Diesel engine oil. Use what your manual says. The weight to use is usually on top of the cap of the oil filler hole.

Getting the diesel filter out was longer than the service
