DTC ECM280C V70-XC70 2006

Hi folks,

during the last 10 days I have been experiencing some trouble with my car.

I was at a traffic light, and it was heavily raining, when I started, it was like the gears were shifting and immediately after the engine stopped. Luckily, the car restarted, as I was in the middle of a crossing.

Today, I was reversing and the engine stopped. Again, I was able to restart it.

So I plugged in VIDA, and I got the DTC ECM280C error in the past history <30%. I could not replicate the error today, although I did multiple updates, still no errors. However, the engine sounded a bit rough.

It appears it is a common error on those cars, and I never changed that sensor before. It looks like it can generate the above symptoms if the it is faulty.

Now, while I was looking at the sensor, I noticed a leak from the injector next to the sensor (all the others are good), please see images below:

Do you think the two issues are related?

Or is this a separate issue, that I can fix by changing both top and bottom o-rings?

Thank you!
Alex

    Pressure too high probably caused the leak at the injector. The leak is probably the lower O ring, not the upper.

    You will need to change the pressure regulator/sensor and any leaking lower O rings (just in case).

    Nice pics, BTW.

    Not really qualified to answer but wondering about the fuel pressure regulator, how old is it? I did a search, as it may indicate fuel pressure is too high.
    Several videos abound!
    Experts should chime in.
