Direct-injected cars like those with Volvo's 2.0 VEA engine use a main fuel pump in the tank to get fuel to the engine bay, plus a high pressure fuel pump for the direct injectors. This high pressure fuel pump is a piston pump driven by a lobe on the end of the camshaft.
Volvo uses a roller tappet/cam follower between the pump and the cam lobe. This roller style follower is generally pretty trouble free thanks to splash oil lubrication from the rest of the valvetrain, but if you need to remove the pump for any reason, replacing it while you're in there is cheap insurance against a seized follower chewing up the end of your camshaft.

Many may not know this but Volvo in Latin roughly translates to "to roll". The company was founded back in 1927 by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson as a spin-off from ball-bearing manufacturer SKF. While the Volvo logo looks like the biology symbol for male, it's really the Swedish symbol for Iron. With a nod to its heritage in alloys, Volvo chose a logo that depicted a ring bisecting at one o’clock. Today Volvo is known around the world as one of the most iconic brands known for safety, longevity, and its enthusiast following.
