Hi all,

I'm José from Portugal.
Had a 1997 V70 GLT 2.0T (LPG) for almost 4 years, just sold it couple weeks ago. Had some issues with it (it's a old lady) but managed to solve them all due to some old school mechanics around here.. Only thing that could do some repair ir some rust, the constant wheels pull to the right, and the air conditioner compressor, that seems to have the known gap issue, but should be fixed you the tip from our friend Robert, the only problem is that the Petrol engine seems to be longer than the Diesel one and I could not fit my hands between the engine and side panel, to reach the air condicioner clutch, so I never repaired it: or Love the engine, and since it was running on LPG, I could floor it anytime I wanted

Since I already had a Volvo, I have chosen as company car a 2019 XC40 D3, on which I had some misfortunes (seems I need to learn to drive )

The Reason why I signed up is because I hear a constant noise from below the car flooring, and need help to know if I can easily fix it. I believe my kid might have dropped something inside the air-conditioned openings below the driver seat.. and that "metal something" is just banging around there.. So I'll create a topic for that

 

Welcome to the forum, José! Nice to have you here. Plenty of knowledgeable guys here if you need answers. We are always happy to help.

 

Thanks..
Luckily I found the noise source... it was a small kid's car inside the rear door armrest
