So this update is a bit late. I brought my s70 to the dealer and they fixed the problem. It was, against my theory, the parkingbrake that wasnt properly fixed. I was suprised by that because I could swear the sound originated from the enginebay.

Funny thing though, they admitted they didn't fix it properly and they tried to charge me for the fix. After a discussion they took the bill back. That felt really weird and I still dont like the fact that they tried to charge me for a mistake they made. Anyway guys, thanks for the help! This topic is solved!

Been there too on both fronts. Repair shop wanting paid to re-do bad work and also, thinking a noise was from the front and could 100% not be from the back,. Only when looking properly finding it was at the back. We all learn eventually, even me!!LoL!
