Strange Noise from Front End/Re vamped post!
Same post with some changes - and a TITLE!
Greetings Fellow Volvites!
I have a 2006 XC90 2.5, and I adore it.
There is an error light telling me I have an Anti Skid service requirement but my mechanic told me as soon as he plugged the computer in to it, that code brought up a few other codes that had to do with the anti lock brakes, but the brakes themselves were brand new - so he referred me to the Volvo dealer for the codes but I am not concerned at the moment about that issue.
About a month ago, I noticed when I started the car, the sound coming from the engine was akin to what I describe as a fan blade hitting the side of something hard, like when you brush against your ceiling fan with a metal object while it is running. It sounds like it is coming more from the driver's side than the mid or passenger. I lasted for about 3 seconds and stopped. I noticed I had left the blower for the heater on midway. So, if I leave the blower on at all, the engine makes that awful sound; if I make sure it is off before turning off the engine, it doesn't make the noise as loud or for as long, although this afternoon there was a 'hint' of a noise from that area when I started it, but I was parked at an odd angle and immediately continued to back away in that position with the wheels turned oddly.
I will also mention that my AC does not blow cold air. I noticed this the day I bought the car, but it was already cold at that point so I moved that to a Spring repair. I am hoping that is just a simple repair like a charge is needed, because the compressor in the V70 died and the defrost didn't work well - the defrost works wonderfully in the XC90.
So maybe there is a correlation between that and this noise. I am going to take it in and have it looked at obviously, but if anyone had any ideas, as always, I would appreciate the input.
