Timing Chain Project V70-XC70 2008

Thanks Klaus - you have helped me quite a few times since I bought my first Volvo (850 - arctic white with a spoiler)to take on my honeymoon.

I too saw that video - and I don't make the decision to open her up lightly. I will spend some quality time with my stethoscope today since this would be the first time I was ever glad the problem was "just a water pump".

Are you suggesting that I continue driving with the noise? I have visions of a slack tensioner or worn guide in the back of my mind that even made the ride home after buying it harrowing. The idea of my diagnostic driving is appealing - but replacing 24 valves keeps me in my place.

I will also change the oil today. Periodically I used to add an STP oil treatment or a duralube into my rotation. Has anyone found something that works well with synthetic?
