Thanks for the video ! 🙌🏽 I’ve been working on my car by myself for a while but their are always new things to learn and sensors . I always have taken my car to a trust mechanic when things were out of my scope or I didn’t have the tools. So, appreciate you helping out the community of car hobbyist and enthusiast .
Wish I had more info on how you finally decided to remove the pressure and how to make that happen. Couldn't find any other videos on the installation. Glad you showed everything else. Am going to attempt it myself.
Hey Mike I believe it is a phillps screw. Make sure battery is disconnected an then take the small phillps head screw driver an barely turn its. It does not take much at all to relieve the pressure. Do not take the screw all the way out because i did an almost lost it. Very bad day if i would have lost it. Wants pressure is released then tighten the screw back up. Dont over tighten or you will damage the screw and or fuel rail. It is super easy to relieve the pressure i wish i would have did that instead of going for that sensor.🙂 it makes the job a whole lot easier because you dont get sprayed from all the pressure. Look to make sure its a phillps screw because its my moms car an i dont have access to it to see what kind of screw it is.
Yes i wish the very best. Have you seen the link i have for the tool? Its better to use the one i have in the link intead of the one in the video. It took forever to get the sensor off an on with the one i bought from auto zone.
To relieve the pressure 1. Remove the fuel pump's fuse. (#22 under the glove compartment) 2. Start the engine and let it idle until it stops. 3. Turn the engine using the starter motor for approximately 5 seconds until the pressure in the fuel rail has been reduced.
I could not find any link with this video regarding the best tool to use to remove the T25 Torx bolt holding the sensor. Not sure if I'm looking in the right spot but I don't see any link(s) regarding the tool. I looked on the Stanley website for offset wrenches but couldn't find out. I purchased a small craftsman rachet that has the female head in order to put a T25 Torx fitting (I used for driving construction screws) and it worked pretty well until I ran out of room. I still have not completed the job yet but will attempt to do so today. Perhaps a pic of the tool would be useful as well as how to release the pressure from the fuel rail. I still found the video (and the comments) extremely helpful and appreciate greatly appreciate whomever posted it.
There is a up and down arrow to the right of the title of this video press that arrow and you will see the links. They are there the first link is the tool that you can buy on Amazon. Please let me know if u have trouble getting the link to show up. You just tap the link an it takes u to Amazon
I'm also at a loss of how to gain proper access to that T25 bold. I have a low-profile 1/4-inch ratchet handle and T25 tip, and there's no way to get them in that tiny space. I see the tool link on Amazon you've provided, for a Kaifnt mini-ratchet set. Is this in fact the correct tool? You mention a Stanley offset ratchet -- but that's not linked. Right now I'm extremely frustrated at not being able to get at that T25. Car is a 2008 XC70, BTW. Thanks...A.
Cant see the link anywhere for the special tool you mentioned. Crazy design having the mounting bolt on the underside as no way of getting to it with a normal T25 bit! If the bolt was on the topside it would be a very easy job! Anyway, look foreword to getting the link to the tool you mentioned in the video!
It's the second link tap on it it should open up the first link is for the part the second Link is for the tool. I just double-checked it they both still open up let me know if this helps the wrench tool can be used with the T25 bit that's provided in the tool box that this tool comes with it makes the job a lot easier. If you tap it and it does not open up copy and paste it in your address browser.
Great video man, thank you! These Volvo's can be intimating with all of their electronics, but you made this looks like a simple enough one! If I relieve the pressure from the rail before taking out the sensor, should I expect to still have some fuel dripping do you think?
Jon A thanks for the compliment an question. Yes there will be fuel dripping out an i recommend taking maybe a small size cup or just stuff a lot of microfiber rags there where you remove the sensor. I would probley expect about 4 ounces of gas so not that much but of course you dont want that on the engine for safety so even if you do spill gas on the engine just take a one gallon milk jug like me an rinse it off the engine so you dont go up in flames🙂 lol

@@camarobossman Thanks again. Don't have the part yet. On order.
Wish me luck.

Thanks for the video!!! Gave me the confidence to replace the fps sensor on my S80.

2. Start the engine and let it idle until it stops.
3. Turn the engine using the starter motor for approximately 5 seconds until the pressure in the fuel rail has been reduced.
Thanks so much for adding this comment this is brilliant an i wish i could have thought of this before i made such a mess.....
Scott Bot Autos No problem and thanks for the video - just changed the sensor today. My suggestion is from the official manual, so no credit to me.
Great!!!!! Lol i hear you
