Hi all,

I've got a problem with my 2003 V70R and wondered if any other owners had experienced this.

The check engine light has just come on (at start up) and the fuel pump is now noisier. I've seen on some of the US forums that this can be caused by a faulty fuel pressure sensor which causes the fuel pump to run faster (due to the faulty sensor flagging up low fuel pressure). The only difference in driving is a slight decrease in part throttle pick up (intermittent).

Has anyone else had this problem? I've also read that The R models from 2003/4 were subject to a recall in the US for faulty fuel pressure sensors. I don't think this has happend over here as I've owned mine since 2004 and its never been recalled for this.

Thanks for any help.
