Hi, I am wondering if anyone has experienced a failure of their "secondary" fuel pump on an XC60? This pump as I understand it serves to keep the fuel balanced between the saddle tanks but is also integral to fuel flow to the engine.

Mine went recently without warning and cost A$2430 (£1,150) to repair (plus towing costs as the vehicle became inoperable).

The cost included a large contribution by the need to cut through and then repair the exhaust pipe plus dropping the axle and entire rear suspension and tank to get at the pump. The Volvo engineers did not consider access in their design - assuming perhaps the pump would never fail?

I am wondering if this issue has begun to crop up with other XC60's or I am in fact just unlucky to have had a bad egg.

My vehicle is a Model Year 2010, D5 LE with 140,000 km.
