2013 diesel C70 cutting out at all speeds.

GGWN · Mar 5th, 2018, 19:09

Low mileage (29k) 2013 auto diesel C70: starts OK every time. Intermittently cuts out momentarily at all speeds and in all ambient temperature condions. Worse when low on fuel. Never stops or stalls. Volvo dealer have replaced various sensors and all filters and eliminated any air associated problems. Volvo dealer is guessing that it's the fuel pump and associated ECM (engine control module) for a large bucketful of money but will not guarantee that this will solve problem which is not very encouraging having already emptied my wallet of a bucket load of hard earned cash for the initial investigations and replacement parts and watched me drive - no hiccup - out of their dealership.
So I might as well have a go at doing the job myself. Starting with the pump.
How do I remove the one piece back seat without ruining the beautiful soft leather to get to where I assume the pump is located. I managed to unclip the two outer retainers but there are two more towards the middle which I couldn't unclip.
Any help with all of the above would be appreciated.

Acknowledging we are in the wrong place, and will probably get moved, I can't help with the diesel bit of it, but I can tell you that to remove the C70 back seat, once you have unlatched the two outer clips you just have to lift up at the front either side of the center hump, using just a bit more force than you think you need... much easier to do when the roof is in the boot, by the way.
