Squealing sound 2015 XC60 RD
My 2015 XC60 with 71K miles developed an intermittent squealing at 69k miles. Seems prevalent on start up and especially when stop in traffic like at a light. I also hear a quick squeal when turning off engine. I had the Volvo dealer do the 70K mile maintenance and I did not mention this issue as I wanted to see if they made any comment on it. They did not and said all looks good. I took it to my local european repair shop and the tech said noise was caused by leaking water pump leaking fluid onto the accessory/serpentine belt. Recommended replacing water pump and coolant and while at it replace belt and tensioner (since pump has to be removed anyway for this job). Total estimate is $756 for everything which sounds fair. My question- is it normal or common for the T6 to have a water pump fail at only 70k miles? And would a failing water pump that leaks onto belt cause period squealing?
