2010 Volvo V70 AWD

Hi guys,

I purchased my V70 a year ago and earlier this year asked my local independent mechanic to service it and change the brake fluid, transmission oil and service the Haldex system.

A couple of days after this, the AWD Disabled error message came up, so I took it back to him. He confirmed that the AWD pump was knackered, so he ordered a new one. Fast forward to two weeks ago (due to lockdown) and he fitted the new pump. However, since then there has been a vibration from the rear at low speed acceleration. I took it back again and he thinks it is coming from the propshaft and says he will realign it.

A couple of things concern me. Firstly, he said he had to break the pump out when it was changed, despite confirming that they had it out when they serviced the Haldex. Secondly, I am concerned that running it meantime, if there is something wrong with the propshaft, will do further damaged.

Car is a 80,000 miler with full history and has been well maintained by the previous (undertaker) owner.

Thoughts?

Bob
