T5 engine noise/rattle
4 year old XC60 T5, around 40k miles. I’ve recently noticed a rattly engine noise with moderate acceleration, usually from 1500-2500rpm. If you really plant it and it kicks down to 3k+ it isn’t present. Oddly, it isn’t there at start up either, usually only occurs when the engine is well up to temperature. Isn’t audible once the revs have settled at cruising pace, even if that is between 1500-2000rpm. Of course it seems to be intermittent, and Sod’s Law would ensure that it wouldn’t happen when the Volvo tech took it for a spin around the block. Noisy tappets perhaps? Service at main dealer last month, no issues reported. Any thoughts? Thanks
