Hi guys I have searched the threads for an answer to this question, however I cant find one, so I apologise now if I am repeating something already raised.
Here goes I have a rattle, I can only describe as sounding like an old Vauxhall cavalier cam rattle, however it only appears under load, not when revving stood still. I thought it was possibly diesel knock, but I have never heard diesel knock before, so I am not to sure.
I have owned diesel cars before but this is my first Volvo, is this noise normal?
I have tried pressing the brake pedal a few times before, like mentioned elsewhere in the forum, to no avail.
I am not sure how to ID the engine type, it's a 5 cylinder 2.5 8 valve with the oil filler cap in the middle of the rocker cover. It also has a separate drive belt for the injection pump, to the timing belt(3 belts in total).
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers Sean.
