I could check by pulling off the belt, I won't be able to get to that for a few weeks though. The strange part is the fact that those noises never happen after starting. This whole situation is weird, 2 mechanics checked it and said nothings wrong but the noises happen and I feel like I'm going ...

Thanks for the help so far! I can post a video as soon as I can. As for what it is, I am now even more confused. I put a stethoscope on the starter and heard the noise but not very loud, I moved it around the engine and tried other places, sounds the exact same wherever I listened, no louder, no ...

I'm not sure its the starter but it's the only thing that would make sense. I'm in the east coast so I can pick up and OEM starter for $400 or a bosch for around $200. I've seen a couple bad reviews on the bosch. I'm going to try and get a stethoscope and see the issue.

Hi, I have been researching this problem and have had no luck so I'm hoping I can get some help. I have a 98 S70 non-turbo, it runs great but almost every time I start it there is a ticking noise coming from the engine. It starts completely normally every time and the ticking is only while I engage ...

Thanks for the reply, I've already talked to my mechanic and I'm going to get it all replaced, fortunately I have an extra car so my volvos gonna be a driveway queen a little longer. Also I'm hoping to get a lot more than only 80k more miles because I found a gem and it only has 112k as of right now ...

Ok so on my way home it was rough idling again like it was before I did the injectors. I wanted to see if any smoke was coming out of the dipstick, (worst case scenario I broke a ring) and there was a decent amount coming out, I did Robert's glove test and it was all fully warmed up, as I opened the ...

When I started it this morning it did the pop again but nothing else. I decided to turn on the AC and it kept kicking on and off while making a similar noise, I'll record and post a video when I get home, I think your on to something! Thanks

Here's the video. That hum just started too, I let it sit with the battery disconnected to reset it so that may be why that noise happened?

It's the black cover. I only got on it after I have driven about 100 good miles with no issues. Other than that noise when starting it its driving like its brand new. The noise doesn't sound like metal at all, what comes to my mind every time I hear it is like air being pushed through, could air ...
