Hello,

I have an S60 on an 04 - its started to develop a knocking which increases as the revs do and its loud enough for me to think its serious. Sounds like its from the back left hand side of the head, although difficult to pin down exactly.

Have spoken to a local garage who have said that its a common fault and you can disable the VVT ( they didn't elaborate how ) and it still drives ok but without the noise - and presumably fixed timing.

I don't know enough to know whether this sounds likely or BS - anyone know ? ( and if it really is the case, how do you do it ! )

cheers
