Re: hollow "ping-ing" noise? S70 1998

That may be the seat popping noise. It is on the power seats.

The solution is known to be installing new seat rails under warranty.

If you sit in the seat it rocks back and forth a trifle and goes: klunk, klunk. Mine is a spring, '98 manufactured model so is fairly late, but it still had the problem. On the road, accelerating from a stop caused the klunk, and letting off the throttle caused the other klunk. This is a well known problem with the '98 power drivers seat.

Rich, with no more noises from the seat, but it took a year to convince the dealer.
