...new to volvos: first problem & first thread
Hi there -
...delighted with the 'one owner from new, service stamps to date, 2002 2.5 D5 V70'. Took it out for a spin yesterday along the A50 & was impressed with acceleration, top speed (cough cough) and breaking.
However, less impressed when we heard what sounded like a grass-hopper in the engine! The noise is coming from one of the pulley wheels from the belt on the off-side of the engine.
There are 5 wheels in the pully system, 2 large, 3 small. The lower, smaller one, just infront of the driver's feet is the culprit. Its got a nice little wiggle on it. I'm presuming its requires a new bearing - might be something to do with my top speed - but is this a straight forward DIY job & where best to get non-brand good quality spare parts from for Volvos - based in Stafford.
