What's the difference in the symptoms?
I've just had a shed load of work done on my 480 (gearbox oil, n/s/f wheel bearing, check o/s/f driveshaft & CV joint plus cam belt & general fluids). All parts genuine Volvo from Rufe.
Anyway, the guy who did the work reckons the gearbox is sounding noisier now the fluid has been changed. Having driven it, I reckon it's the wheel bearing he's changed.
It grinds (for want of a better description) loudly - audible within the car - with windows closed. There's no discernible noise when stationary, and it gets louder proportional to speed. Gear change is smooth, and the volume/pitch does not alter when the gear is changed (i.e. it's the same volume/pitch at 20mph whether in 1st, 2nd or 3rd).
Doesn't seem to ease off turning round a corner though.
I reckon he's forgotten to grease the bearing myself, but apparently they come pre-greased?
Any ideas?
