I have a 2000 S40 1.9T. It was runing great before, but since last morning it was hard to start, I need crank 3-5 secs and more than 3 time to start it, it also has a rough idle. this morning it completly stop working. I found when I turn the key there is no noise from the fuel pump. is the pump broken?
Thanks

Kinda find it interesting that the mechanic said it is fried because the car was involved in a flood who knows how long ago.Usually if water gets to the electronic stuff it goes out right away and not months/years later.

Yes a used one will work but you have to go to a Volvo dealer to initialize the ECU to your car for.Still cheaper than to get a new one tho.

Yes, I did bought an used ECU and it will start several seconds and the stuck. Then I called the volvo dealer for relashing the ECU, but they refused to do it for an used ECU, and want me to buy a new one and do all the work. they will charge me $1200-1400!

As to if you wanna buy one of those machines there is 2 problem there.One is being the price which is about $8K and even then you can not call Volvo in Sweden to obtain the neccesary codes and program unless you are an authorized Volvo shop/dealer.
