I have posted this issue with my car, and several people gave
responses, including volvowrench, and I wanted to post a follow-up.
The problem was:
The car moans when started cold. It's coming from the engine and goes
away after 60 seconds of warm up. This sounds rises and falls with the
rpms of engine, it's clearly drive belt related.
Car has a new camshaft belt, water pump.
So I takes her to the Volvo dealer for the 110k service, that was only
US $70. Not bad, but this service interval doesn't include a great
deal.
I explained the moaning issue to them and asked for an estimate. They
said:
Parts:
8630590---idler pulley--$87
9135036--tension pully---$103
9146693--damping element--$140
Labor: +/- $400
And the rub too much: No guarantees it would fix it. $700 + dollars
and it might still have the issue. Don't know what to do. The Volvo
tech there has 15+ years of experience day in and day out working on
Volvos.
If anyone has a diagram of the camshaft belt area, please post it.
Any advice thanks.
Just wanted to follow-up.
I have been driving the car with this sound for 9 thousand miles! She
hasn't come apart yet. Hopefully any of the above parts would begin to
make noise constantly before failing.
Like I said, just a follow-up thanks for the input.
