this is what warranties are for

 

It’s hard to tell from the video. I would say have some one rev the engine after a drive to warm it up and see if you can tell if it’s engine noise, exhaust, or driveline.

If you are stationary when you hear the noise could be engine or exhaust.

Any of the noise is only when you’re moving in and you know it’s a driveline.

It always sucks when something happens to a car especially if it’s newer Good news is that you have the warranty. Good luck and make an appointment to the dealership when possible as even if you identify the noise you will need them more likely to correct the issue.

Thanks for your reply, much obliged.
So, I did as you suggested and it is evident that the noise only occurs during acceleration- and not while rev the engine while stationary. Also perhaps worth mentioning is that while in motion, the sound happens only during acceleration, but stops while gear change is taking place. Any thoughts on this.

Will make an appointment with dealer come 2022, but would like as much input from the community here and get as much info as possible on any shared experiences.

 

There is a TJ for the left engine pad (mount) making a clicking noise... not sure it's the same thing. We had this TJ performed on our 2017 XC90 and the clicking hasn't returned. I should add that the clicking only occurred on acceleration.

Very much appreciate your pointer here. Will most definitely take this to the dealership.
Was your troublesome sound similar to mine in the video I have posted. Your feedback is highly valued - thank you indeed.

 

I have the same exact sound in my 2019 S60 T5, and I haven't been able to identify the source. At first I thought the engine was knocking, but it's not that. It doesn't happen when using very light throttle, or wide open throttle. My car is going for service soon, and I'll have them look into the sound. If the dealer finds anything, I'll share.

 

It is like something resonates. Is it from under engine bay or from beneath the car or at the rear?
Now you can probably open the hood and listen from outside and get some idea where it is from.

 

With the new information and able to here in a little bit better it sounds like a Cadillac converter for exhaust pre-muffler that is the mosWith the new information and able to here in a little bit better it sounds like a Cadillac converter for exhaust pre-muffler that is the lose internal to the exhaust.

that would also explain why it’s easier to hear when driving has the cars under a load.

take it to the shop and see if they agree with the online mechanic lol

 

@Felix2020 where you able to fix this issue? MY21 here has also a rattle but I'm stuck in the warranty discussion between dealer and Volvo Cars Netherlands.

• Dealer says replace turbo
• Volvo NL says product "feature"

 

My dealer could not locate the issue except that they said they found 3 loose screws in the exhaust. This did not alleviate the issue entirely, but they problem is less pronounced now. The sound I had is not nearly as pronounced as yours or of the same character. And I could definitely not hear it outside of the car. Your sound sounds rather nasty and I would not say it’s a feature as Volvo claims. Definitely follow up on this. Keep us posted please.

 

Thanks for your update! For me it can't be loose screws I think. The sound disappears (almost completely) when the car is warmed up. Dealer already replaced manifold gasket but didn't solve a thing. Car is almost 2 years old now, this sound is definitely not a feature because it wasn't there before...

 

Hi everyone, i have a s60 polestar 2017 and sound like yours cars @Felix2020 @JeeBee, when warm up the sound disappear and return on accelerate, the sound appeared at 53.000 km, it's so weird. Somebody know what happened?

 

Just back from a holiday in Austria and the sound has even become worse... I'm awaiting replacement of the turbo. Discussion has been solved now. Appointment 29-30th of August. Will let you guys know the outcome. Here only/just 35.000 km on the clock when this sound appeared (back in May).

 

Thanks for the update, my mechanic still investigating the noise, he checked time chain, gearbox, exhaust system, supercharger, throttle body, engine mounts, turbo, and discarded all. Tuesday he'll check valve system, in my case, the sound is apparently located at the top engine, but he beleive that system is ok

 

Hello! I started a similar? thread a month ago. I wonder if my problem has the same root as yours..

Weird engine/gearbox sound

Hello everyone, I have a V60 2021 with B4 petrol engine. I noticed a sound when driving at 35-40km/h having the automatic gearbox in 4th gear. The sound can be heard after 0:16 and loudly after 0:27. Link to mp3 file Any ideas? Thanks, Andi

Hello again, i recorded two videos, cold start and warm start. First one sound similar to @JeeBee

Sounds like one of the most rattling lifter/rockers ever, but amazing it gets that quiet after warmup.
Got me what it really is, I'd be all over it with the hose in the ear trick. That noisy you would think it would be easier to locate.

 

Hello everyone, I have a contact at Volvo Chile who seems to know the reason for the sound, but he arrives next week. I'll tell you what happens. Still the car runs great.

 

Hello friends @JeeBee @AJS1KR @Felix2020, do you have news of the sound? In my case the sound has decreased considerably, I have changed the oil for Liqui Moly 0w20 Special Tec V plus Hydro-Stössel-Additiv, the car runs great, I have also accelerated it to the fullest several times (rolling and short races) and the sound it is no longer when accelerating, it has not returned, it only remains when starting but for much less time, 15 sec at 0° ambient

 

Finally i discovered the root of the sound, it occurs when the turbo flapper is not completely closed because the wastegate actuator not work properly. With a manually vacuum pump, i moved it to full open position, maximun vacuum (-0.7 bar), then full closed, maximun pressure (1.5 bar). This exercise released the wastegate correctly. But i think that need a new wastegate actuator. In other car, Renault Clio, haved the same problem, but it not manifested whit rattle sound, only little power lose

 

Hi guys, finally an update to share on my rattling issue. My turbo is replaced and that fixed the issue. The waste gate valve had (to) much slack/room? (not sure what's the right word in English) on the old turbo, which caused this sound. No problems so far with my new turbo, fingers crossed!

 

Finally the problem was not the wastegate, it was the exhaust manifold that was broken. Additionally, the pieces of the manifold destroyed the turbo blades, leaving it totally useless, without power. There is no way to repair it, therefore it only remains to change it

 

Wow! And the manifold part? Volvo takes responsibility for this aka will this be replaced/fixed under warranty?

 

The manifold and turbo are sold together, not separately. It was not considered as a guarantee, I don't know if there is a recall for this fault, I have searched for information and nothing. Maybe the noise of your car has been the same

 

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. I'm glad to see Cris was able to pinpoint the issue to his exhaust manifold. I'm taking my car in for tires and 40k service next week, and will ask the dealer to try and diagnose again.

The reported wastegate issue could explain why my car feels like it's "surging" during acceleration (boost builds, drops off, builds again, repeat). The "ticking" sound could be a cracked exhaust manifold. These are two great places for the dealer to start their inspection.

 

I had something similar, but I think I've successfully self-diagnosed it as me wanting to play Fuel over the B&W every time I accelerate.

My FUEL door on my 2018 392 Scat Pack Shaker Challenger (I traded it on this Volvo)

 

My local dealer said "it might be knocking due to low quality fuel, but it is not throwing any codes for knocking". Now that my dealer has at least confirmed the sound (they couldn't hear anything during my last visit), I'll check with Volvo customer service on options.

 

Well? My 2021 started making this exact same sound recently. Let the VIP claims begin… 🙄

 

Bummer. How many miles?
Im interested in the VIP experience and resolution…

 

I had it from very beginning on my v60, bought it as used with 20000km. I Thought is is normal but visited 3 different services, each explain the source of nois in different way. So I pushed one of them to fix it. And at the end turbo was replaced, sound gone but not completely, it appears, sometimes (barley noticeable, much less than before, but still), only when engine is cold and after rpm is going down after a little throttle.

I think Volvo is aware of it. However not sure how much impact it has for general turbo life, maybe not much, and it explain the lack of willingness to replace it? I do not known.

Edit: and my is also 21 model year, I think it can be connected, however this thread is the only place where I was found similar case...

I think the same, checking the turbo part numbers I found that the original was replaced by another code the following year of manufacture of the turbo, according to Borgwarner codes. Part number of the turbo with problems 31441940, new part number 36012554, both codes correspond to the same Borgwarner part number b03g 1855 970 0014

 

Okay so it’s not exactly the same noise. But it’s upon acceleration. Generally after 2200 RPM or so.
