Hy everyone,

I have a problem with my wife's 2010 V70 Drive Volvo. The car occasionaly falters and a screeching noise is heard (for a second or less). To me it feels as though the front left wheel locks up a bit. This happens usually when the engine is in high revs or under high load (steep hill, etc.)

The car has 150.00 km, I had a technical check up a few months ago and everything is supposed to be ok (the car passed with flying colours ).

Anyone have an idea what could be causing the problem?

thank you in advance,

regards,
Davor

 

well, this description leaves me puzzled. Any other detail you could add to the descrption of the symptoms or the conditions of their appearance?

 

Hy, ok so after 6000 km driven I can say that I have narrowed down the possibilities a little. The car only has these problems when ac is engaged. It doesn't matter at which rev (idle or full throttle), the car occasionally makes a short iii noise and a lack of power can be felt ( only for a second or so)

Any ideas anyone?

 

If it is only happening when the AC compressor engages I would suspect that you have a compressor issue. Sounds like something in the compressor is not wanting to spin when the compressor is engaged.

Is the AC cooling properly? Any recent work to the AC system?

 

Hy,

the AC is cooling normal (it's very hot now in Slovenia (around 35 degrees Celsius). The car gets cold very fast, so no problem here..

As far as I know no work has been done on the AC system. Will have them check the compressor. Do you know how much a new compressor costs?

Thank you for your help,

kind regards,
Davor Martinčič
