2019 V60 Rear Knock
So I've been chasing a knocking noise in my 4000 miles V60 (which sounds like a loose shock) - even my brother who is the guy who sold it to me (and basically deaf :-) ) can hear it.
In the dealer today and the techs agree it sounds like a knackered shock, but they swapped the left and right side and nothing changed. They then took another V60 they have there out and it sounds the same... To be honest for a 36 grand car I just can't believe that's how it should be?! I know the roads in Sweden are uber smooth, but this really takes the enjoyment out of a premium car! I am going to request that they feedback into Volvo and see what they have to say - I think the biggest hurdle though is that there just isn't that many of them out there yet! |

Mine is quiet, no knock at all. I have only covered 1300 miles though.

It's not the back seat latch adjusted a bit loosely is it? I've had a couple of cars where an empty back seat has caused a knocking noise under certain conditions. Could have sworn it was the suspension, until I lent rather suddenly and sharply on the first one for some reason, and heard the very knock. Adjusted the seat base latch and that was it, no more occasional knock.
Think outside the box.

Might be the exhaust knocking against the rear bumper tailpipe holes.

Went out in another V60 of similar mileage at the dealer this afternoon, sounded the same as mine so really the dealer can’t do anything; they did ask if I wanted them to feedback to Volvo. Hopefully other people may be experiencing the same.
You have to hit the right type of bump to get the noise, but it’s defo there. I am gonna just crack on for a bit and see how it goes, just gets on my nerves; but short of test driving every V60 that comes in the dealer is stuck as they have a vehicle to compare against. In theory if they didn’t have another to drive they could have escalated to Volvo UK and got assistance, but it won’t happen now. Not sure I have the energy to complain to Volvo UK as they will just refer to the dealer. What spec is your 60 Whizzpop? (Ah, same as me) |

What engine?
I have a D4 Auto with about 9200 miles on it now, (had it since 6k) and haven't heard anything like this. Stupid question, but nothing under the boot floor rolling around? |
