The solenoid that releases the gas tank door flap is making noise. Should I be concerned? V70-XC70

Hello All,

I have a 1999 V70 XC with nearly 187,000 miles. Normally, when I push the button in the door to release the gas tank door, I just hear the sound of the door flap opening. Suddenly, when I release the door flap, I hear a “spinning noise” coming from the solenoid. This is a completely new sound. The door flap still opens, but I am concerned this made be an indication the solenoid is on its way out.

Has anyone else had this experience? Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Hugh
