Buying Advice: Valve Tap and Bad Motor Mount 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Nate on  Sun Dec 15 05:01 CST 2002 [RELATED]

The valve noise probably nothing to worry about.

If the car had been sitting for several days on the dealer's lot the oil just drained out of the valve train and hydraulic tappets. Happens on my 850 too, my Volvo mechanic tells me it's not a problem - just drive the car more. If my car sits for a week or more I get the valve tapping noise you described. Once warmed up and driven the noise does not return.

Then again - Best advice is to have a good Volvo mechanic confirm. The alternative could be $$$'s.

The upper engine mount is such a common problem. I replaced mine 3 years ago with the IPD mount- not a single problem since.
