You can prime fuel filter on these cars by presseing and holding start button 6 times, but don't press clutch to inhibit engine starting. You will ear fuel pump working. After that, start the engine and keep it steady at 2krpm for 1 minute, wile remaining air gets out through return line.
Hello mike, i m from france. I have xc70 185CV D5 an XC60 D5 215CV. Thx for video and technic to take filter. On xc70, it s easy, no necessary to withdraw stable bar. On xc60, i have to retire stable bar and after that, i spend 1h to try to take lower part filter. i success by your video so thx so mutch. and if never i retire stable bar's fixation screw when my car was lifted one size. Terrible mistake, i spend 1h30 to fixe stable car cause she go away..
It always makes me so happy to hear that others have been helped by something I did. Thank you for letting me know you were helped it helps me to keep going when it gets hard. 👍👍👍
As its a petrol and you can find it by following the fuel lines back from the engine, I would say it's probably built in to the pump in the tank and can't be changed
@@mike_themechanic I always watch on UA-cam what my mechanic has to do to Replace the parts. The water pump tensioner and new belt is a pain in the ass.
Greetings Mike, Wondering if you can help me. I have a “13” XC60 w/158k. I recently had a start and immediate stall issue that’s cause me to unplug the MAF sensor to get home. Now I’m having a fuel pressure issue after replacing the sensor with a sensor firm the boneyard. Any ideas?
@@mike_themechanic Bought exact same brand for my OM648 Mercedes diesel engine. Allegedly (according to some forum posts referring to some oil analysis company in USA) it protects engine better than more expensive Mobil 1 (less metals in oil samples). Viscosity was dilemma - I went for the thick 5w40. But I don't use that car in winter. Latvian roads in winter are salt nightmare.
What are you doing putting 0w30 oil in a 2012 car,,,,,it wasn't until 2018 that the first cars were calling for a 0w30 oil,,,mike the mechanic ,,,,,I don't think so,,,
@@mike_themechanic oils. 0W-30 is widely suggested by American, European and Asian automakers as a viscosity alternate to higher viscosity oils for driving in frigid weather.
Cheers, Mike!
‘Looked everywhere for that wrench icon reset with no luck until now LOL!
Great to hear that you solved the problem 😊
As always, I look forward to watching you on utube find it interesting how different problems are fixed in different countries everyday mechanic's
Thank you Paul. I'm so glad that you enjoy the content I put out.

I'll try that next time. Thanks for the tip

Hello mate. I have 2012 volvo xc60 2.0L t5 petrol. Any suggestions and help with fuel filter location? Looking for days and can't find.

Volvo recommends water pump kit done at 120,000 miles. Just did mine 2012 Volvo XC60 3.2. $1100.00.
Thanks for the info 👍👍

No sorry. Have you tried a diagnostic machine to see what it says?
The diag machine didn’t give any indication at all but it turned out to be a fuel pump issue as well.
@@Lhostel OK. Glad to hear you got it fixed
If its the D5 engine, did you change the fan belt?
No I didn't change the fan
Would you prefer 30 weight or 40 weight oil for a modern(ish) diesel engine?
I went with the 30 as its better suited to the conditions of living in Northern Sweden.

@@ztech6596 we use the car all year round so - 30 to +30 and that's the reason I went for that viscosity
Check out Rotella Diesel engine oil. Use what your manual says. The weight to use is usually on top of the cap of the oil filler hole.
Getting the diesel filter out was longer than the service
Yeah i don't know how they thought when they put it just there
What are you doing putting 0w30 oil in a 2012 car,,,,,it wasn't until 2018 that the first cars were calling for a 0w30 oil,,,mike the mechanic ,,,,,I don't think so,,,
Well living in Northern Sweden and having temperatures from - 30 up to +30 we have used 0w30 for many many years.

That fuel filter cover was a bit of a pill.
Yeah that was so difficult to get out. I have no idea why they put it in such an awkward place.
