Other XC90 Problem: - XC90 acceleration noise

RJW75 · Nov 6th, 2017, 16:33

Hi
I have a 55 plate D5 AWD XC90 and its now making a strange grinding/groaning noise when the car is accelerating on anything more than 30% throttle.

Not sure what it is and I'm a bit concerned it sounds expensive!

I was thinking gearbox? Driveshaft? Wheel bearing?

Some noise at slow speeds when turning right, sounds like its coming from offside left front area perhaps.

Thanks in advance guys.

Drive shaft CV joints? Check the rubber boots for splits.

This actually turned out to be a broken/loose top engine mount.
New one fitted - no more noise!

The mount that connects onto both strut tops?

I’ve just had a similar issue on my T6, had a noise when accelerating and when on a rougher roads. Thought it was prop shaft turned out it wast the exhaust had become misaligned and was knocking on several parts of the car.
