Have a 2003 D5 V70 with 147k miles. A few months ago had a problem with the engine cutting out, first loss of power, then warning message 'ENGINE SYSTEM SERVICE URGENT', went into low power mode then cut out after a few 100 yards. Restarted OK but re-occurred, at increasing frequency ( i.e. shorter and shorter distance). Called out AA, diagnosed low fuel pressure. Couldn't drive to garage due to frequency of cutting out (had to be towed). New fuel filter fitted, ran fine ....... till a few days ago when the same problem re-appeared. This time managed to drive to garage, they had no idea but I got them to replace the filter again out of desperation. Runs OK again (well I got home without the problem re-appearing), previous filter looks OK with no obvious clogging. Any ideas ? fuel pump ? electrical fault somewhere? pressure sensor ? Started fine each time it cut out.
