Has anyone experienced problems with the starter sticking on when engine has started producing a high pitched squeal? Spoke to volvo dealer who thinks it is a common fault, just wondering if anyone else has found this??

mine sticks every now again, but it only does it when I first try and start the car. I get a high pitched squeel, try again and its fine, but it only does it every now and again.

Mine does it all the time, squeal clears after about 10 seconds but if you start car straight after stopping it does the same again, very fruatrating!!

Is it not just a sticking solenoid?, could possibly be cured but you'd need to remove it to try.

Planning on trying it tomorrow night, i thought it was strange coming from the starter as it's a very very loud squeal but prepared to try anything to get her on the road! Don't fancy driving it the way it is!!
