What a stonking purchase! Well bought sir.
I'm running around in the XC70 of this shape and loving it. It's the 215bhp D5 but shares the gearbox and AWD at least. Need to own a V8 Volvo soon!

Normally I would not even notice one of those but with a V8, that sounds like a great Q car
Mild envy ☺

There is definitely a lot of love for these, mainly in the U.S. though.You may find parts are cheaper from Rockauto or the like.

Actually no it was in the Monaro thread. Although if it appeared in the LCBL thread too I wouldn't be surprised. And on that note ...Wait, was this in Low Cost High Liability?

I'm wondering if the gearbox is fucked.
Videos of the noise follow. You may also hear a squeaky rear suspension noise, I was aware of that issue when buying the car.

Does the car have a timing chain?

That's a good question to which I don't know the answer. I agree that the symptoms I'm experiencing don't seem to fit gearbox failure.When a Geartronic gives up it normally bangs, hunts and crashes through upshifts or downshifts and will refuse to go into certain gears.

binding brake caliper? do any of the wheels get hot after a run? I think you said it had sat on the dealers lot for a while before you bought it?
I suspect anything engine-related would have chucked up an error code on the dash?

I dunno - the underbonnet video sounds atrocious, but cameras can pick up certain sounds better than others so its maybe not that bad in real life?
I would strongly recommend getting it looked at by someone qualified.

It's that bad in real life
I've got a proper sound recorder at home, I'll take some hopefully more accurate audio of the problem this evening.

Or not run it for us plebs to guess at and get a pro boffin to look at it?
This times a million.
It's impossible to tell from videos and often bloody hard to tell when you're under the bonnet looking at the damn engine.
Google can be of help, it can also make you think a million other things are wrong with it.
Start with the basics-does the noise rise and fall with revs or with road speed?
If with revs does it come from the aux belt area?

The videos are a bit indististinct but it sounds like power steering pump or an idler to me Best of luck with it and I hope it's cheap to fix. Doesn't seem like gearbox though....

Thats not a bad shout Jams, my Saab 9-3 made terrible noises when the alternator bearing was kippered, I thought it had borked its turbo or worse, the resultant £250 bill for a new alternator, belt and tensioner was much less bad than I was expecting.
