Help,Help Enging Noise V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be JayBee on  Tue Jul 8 02:31 CST 2008 [RELATED]

Fellow Bricksters,

My wife has a 2001 V70 2.5 (non-turbo), I have an issue that has been going on for quite a while about 6 months and the issue is a metallic "clatter" coming from the motor when it is under load and is very evident at the lower speeds and does not seem to matter if the car is hot or cold. I was putting it down to some poorer quality fuel (I live in Australia and some of the fuel we are forced to buy is rubbish) because once I put in some better octane rating fuel this would disappear. However I have just noticed that it is starting to happen with even the high octane rating fuel.
So just to recap...
A mechanical "clatter" like a tappet noise, however I must be careful in saying this because I am not mechaincally minded at all.. The car feels fine with no seemingly negative effects with this noise

Any help much appreciated.
