Strange noise , this is a real hard one! Please HELP!!! 850 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be ermik on  Thu Jan 23 20:47 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I´ve got a 854 GLT 1992 with auto tranny

This is the problem

1. Start the engine
2. Drive away

3. At about 30km/h there is this strange scraping noise from the front left...
disappears after half a second

4. No furter problems, at any speed , even if slowing down under 30km/h and taking off again....

5. Stops the car , without turning off engine
6. Drive away
7. NO SOUND AT 30km/h
8. Stops , turn off engine
9. Start the engine
2. Drive away
3. SCRAPING NOISE AT 30km/h then it disappears emmideatly....
4. No further problems


It seams this sound only comes once every start of the engine, when driving away...

A little weird isnt it?

Tried it like 20 times , always the same behavior ...

Car runs fine , smooth ride , no other sounds...

Any thougts? Is my car possessed by evil asian men trying to convert it into a hyndai?

    You say you have a 1992. I suspect it is a 1995. (Maybe
    92s were sold in Europe but I'm not sure.) The build date
    is on a sticker on the driver door.

    Our 1995 has a pretty loud ABS self test. When we purchased
    it (new) it had a flier in the glove box about this noise (I'm not
    sure if the owners manual mentions it but it was enough of an
    issue that Volvo stuck a notice in the glove box). I've read that
    later model cars do this too but it is just much harder to hear on
    newer models.

    abs testing at 17 mph each time you start the car. Normal.

        That info's in your owners manual as well. The car must be new to you?
