S60 D4 - Fuel Pressure warning

[ambrosedheffernan]

I have a volvo S60 D4 2014.

The timing belt & pump has been changed by a garage, and there was issues with air in the water pump after this which was resolved (brought back to garage).

But on collecting the car from the garage, I am having an issue with Diesel Pressure:
1. 3rd/4th gear loss of power
2. When car is slowing down e.g. coming to a stop, in 1st gear with clutch engaged, the car cut out.
3. Revs need to be a bit higher than normal accelerating.
4. No issues maintaining speed on motorway.

Error codes:
P061A62 - internal control module torque performance - algorithm based failures. Signal compare failure.

P229000 - injector pressure too low

P133009 - injector control pressure lower than desired (Engine running) component failures

P000400 - Fuel volume regulator control circuit high

Injectors and fuel filter seem ok.

Any ideas on timing belt issues which can cause this? The garage cannot seem to rectify.

I would let then have it back , they can book it in to a volvo dealer to sort at their expense. they have probably got the cam timing wrong. It is highly unlikely you needed a water pump too. A vacuum pump is essential on these cooling systems when refilling...

didnt they road test it before letting you have it back?

Not sure about rhe road test, they said they did, but but they have the car back twice now. There is no Volvo dealer close by but they are bringing it to an injection specialist.

But I just want to be able to defend against them trying to charge more. I agree it sounds a lot like late injection, so far more noticeable at low revs around town rather than motorway conditions.

Hi given the error codes you have then they have probably not timed the high pressure fuel pump correctly
I replaced my Cambelt and aux belt last weekend with no problems using volvo genuine parts.
No Clan I did not change the waterpump.

Thanks, this seems to be it, I got the same answer elsewhere but they didn't want the job.

Either the pump is now damaged or the timing is off.

Any idea how to check the timing/calibration of the HP fuel pump? The mechanic is not going to do any more on it...

It wasn't a cheap kit, about 350 and has Volvo on the docket, so hoping that is not the issue....

Well if it were me I'd be asking them to book it into a Volvo dealer or approved service centre or at least a respected independent Volvo specialist and pick up all the costs to get it fully rectified.

I would do this in writing and if they decline I would get it fixed and file a claim against them in the County Court to recover all my costs plus some for inconvenience. It's negligence pure and simple.

Hi regardless of who is going to pay you need to find a competent mechanic , dealer or independent who can redo this job properly, unfortunately to get to the crank timing mark the aux belt pulley needs to come off and this in turn means new bolts as they are one use only. Then the timing can be checked. The crank and camshaft marks are lined up and the hp pump pulley is then pinned. Plenty of information online for this job .

I will be sending them the bill, but they are refusing even to send it to the injection place (the injection place is not a garage so have to remove the part to bring it in there), they want me to do it . So not much help.

I may end up bringing it back to Volvo, but I rang a Volvo garage and they were advising to follow the mechanics instructions so I have come back. But I might have to ring them again, but it is a 100km trip which leaves wiggle room for the mechanic to argue.... Bit of a mess really!

Ok thanks for the info!
