Hmmm, my 97 S40 has developed a bit of a strange whine between 40 & 60. Was ok before, but it's now driving me crazy. It maybe even whines agter 60 but the road noise masks it.

At first I thought it was the gearbox, but gears are ok, so now I'm stumped. I'm hoping it's not a bearing.

Anyone any ideas?

I'd rather it was a bearing than the gearbox!!!

Often tyres are the source of this - check inflation and that none of the balance weights have fallen off? Be great if that's the cause, easy fix! :)
