I'm getting a loud whine from somewhere in the engine compartment. It's an 850 turbo with 160,000 miles. I was wondering if it could be the water pump or the belt. Car performs great and is getting 22 mpg around town, but the noise is getting to me. If it is the water pump how do I change it?

If you don't have a stethascope to locate the noise try a hose. If it is the water pump or more likely the idler pulley for the timing belt there are write ups on this site as well as www.volvospeed.com maintenance Itneeds to be looked at ASAP as if either go you will need to replace the upper side of the engine $$$
