New XC70 - Broken down on first trip.
Hi All,
I've bought an '03 plate XC70 and it's managed to breakdown on its first trip. Argh! A whirring noise became apparent (more of a shhhhhhhhh) which is definitely related to wheel speed. It's loudest between 30-40mph. I was slowing from 60mph for a roundabout and it started clunking / loud ticking. Again related to wheel speed and if I kicked the gearbox into 'N' for a second it continued to make the noise. I could feel it vibrating through the brake pedal (not pulsing like ABS application). This seems to be coming from the NSF wheel. I pulled over to see if the wheel was warm - which it wasn't. From then on it was back to the whirring noise only - which seems to disappear when turning right. I've jacked the car up and there is some resistance from that wheel - it doesn't spin freely. But also there is a slight rattle from (I'm assuming) the front diff (I'm assuming) as the wheel is rotating. This could be something as simple as a stone lodged that worked its way out - but I have a feeling it's something a bit sinister? Any ideas?! |

Brake backing plate binding on the disc? Stone stuck in brake area? Both would make a grinding or scratching sound dependent on how big/bad.

Just taken it around the block. The constant "shhhh" / whirring is there most of the time, but when slowing down, between about the speeds 30-45mph is becomes a metallic tapping / clanking.

Driveshaft? Wheel bearing? Hub bolt (behind the centre cap)?
Any codes or indications on the DIM? Seems unlikely to be a wheel bearing as you describe the noise disappearing when turning right, putting the NSF under load, which is generally when a wheel bearing complains most. Does the noise vary when applying brakes?

I'm not familiar with the AWD system but the angle gear is known to be a weak spot. Could it be this? Do you still have AWD capability?
I'd also look for stones in or around the disc/caliper/backing plate or maybe the reluctor ring area and check the wheel nuts for tightness.

Cheers guys.
The car has just had an MOT so I highly doubt they'd a wheel bearing issue. No codes coming up on the dashboard & I have no idea if the AWD works or not! |

Try driving in reverse if you've not done so - that could release a stone. I had this recently - the noise was incredible and I thought something major had happened. I reverse parked and after that all as well as I assume a stone dropped out.
Another thing that is important to sort is the rear parking brake linings, which can become detached and destroy your hub. |
