I'm having the SAME problem with my 81 240 Dl wagon. Not the engine, but comming from the rear. I had what seems to be a similar problem on my truck. Turned out it was the pinion gear. Took apart the third member and cranked (and I mean cranked) down with a 3/4" impact gun. Took about 10 minutes with two guys.. I of course was holding the yolk in the vise (owch). So that solved the problem. The symptom was that the pinion wasn't engaging the ring in the right grove, so it hummed. I'm wondering if it's the same problem on the volvo.

SO.. now that I've stated that I have the same problem as this lady...anybody know what it is?!
