noisy engine on acceleration 900 1996

HI Everyone!

I'm a woman who understands the basics when it comes to taking care of my 96 960 and have found most of my answers from reading others post; however, with this new development I need to your help. Please bear with my lack of technical knowledge and terms.

Here is what is happening: I just had the radiator replaced by the dealer and two days later while driving home from work my car starts making a "grrr" noise when I accelerate. It almost sounds like a muffler problem, but I don't think that is the issue, yet I could be wrong. The service light is not on, but it did come on the after the radiator was replace, but the shop thought it just needed to be reset. I ran an OBDII scan and did not see anything suspect, but was that because the service light was not on? Granted, I am not an expert, so, again, I am open to advice there as well.

The only change I have made in the past two months was switching to Mobil 1 oil and the new radiator.

Thanks in Advance!
NABs
