classic early XC axle issues.

[Guest]

I have a noise ever once in a while, at first I was thinking maybe a loose shroud but now it seems to be more of a clicking making a sound like when a card is on a bicycle spoke when the car is coasting when brakes are applied it subsides, the faster the car is going it da dat da dat da dat (faster sound) I work on my own car with my step dad even though he is not a volvo fan he has helped me with the four I have owned, I had a reply that said it sounds like it maybe "classic early XC axle issues" I can only find the "Ivadis" online manual thing which seems very expensive can anyone give me more info. about the axle issues I may be dealing with, and / or diagrams from manual or any other info., etc. Thanks just a girl trying to cruise!

If it's a great deal more pronounced (Click Click Click) on tight slow turns, it might be your cv joints, which are comparibly a far cheaper, quicker fix than the bevel gear, which is really the Classic XC Bevel Gear Problem.

Matthew, the problem is when your just go under light power or coasting any speed. I tried the the slow parking lot turns to check for CV when I frist got the car and it sounded good. So, I should investigate the bevel gear, can you tell me what to look for as the problem. Do you know if I can pay for the three days of Ivadis and copy the manual for personal use?

I can't comment on vadis because I don't know anything about it. I believe looking at the bevel gear would require a great deal of work. Unfortunately I can't give you more to go on with your identification of the problem besides this http://brickboard.com/AWD/?id=860676 .
