2004 volvo s60 whining noise

Post by cichy1012 »

So ive had this whining noise at idle and while driving for about 3 years. Someone told me it was probably the serpentine tension pulley. So i got around to doing some repairs and this is what i have replaced. Not because of the whining, but because things were wearing out.

2004 volvo s60 2.4 (non-turbo)

Ive replaced the
alternator
Power steering pump-- 2 years ago
serpentine belt
tension pulley
map sensor
fuel pressure sensor
maf sensor
pem module
heard about a breatherbox noise and if you pull the dipstick or oil cap it should go away; which it never did
cant seem to pinpoint the problem but its driving me nuts.

any help would be appreciated

Remove the serpentine belt and check if the noise is gone.

As above, remove serp belt. My car has a similar noise coming from the timing belt, changed new genuine belt and pulleys and water pump and vvt hub and still same noise.
