Hi
I am an absolute newbie in this forum. Hope you guys can help me out!!
I bought a beautiful 2007 s60 D5 in the rare Inscription edition and after 2000km the engine starts making knocking sound every time after prox. 20km of driving. I made an video of it..

I dont know if its normal for an D5 engine or something went wrong.
I am thankful for any help.

Engine light on? Oil pressure light flicker, oil level?

What oil do you run in it, and how old is it?

No engine and oil pressure light or whatsoever. Oil changed 3500km ago. I used 0W30 from liqui moly.

Oil level good? Is the knock coming from top or bottom of engine? Can you use a piece of hose or rod to better locate noise?

Change it again. It may thin, this engine taps on thin oil.

Thats what i was suspecting! There was no tapping noise before the oil change.
I used 0w30 from liqui moly though, volvo recommended 0w30 from castrol.
It cant be the problem, can it?

Update: So i took the time to make a trip to the volvo dealer. After 30min of checking and listening to the engine i was told by the mechanic its an absolutelly normal for the d5 to sound a little hard like this. We even compared the sound to another v70 with d5 185ps and it was the same sound.
So it was a false alarm

. Thx u all for ur suggestions
