Hello everyone,
I encounter a problem with a VOLVO garage which tells one of my friends, after diagnosis, that the visco-coupler of his VOLVO is dead.
It does not justify his diagnosis, it is not very clear .... My friend wishes a second opinion and will see next week another garage VOLVO.
To sum up :
My friend can ride with the car without any problem, he made 140km to go to the garage. He did not hear any particular noise.
He tells me that the car makes noise when turning, like a rolling sound, at low speed and nothing else.
This noise I got it also when my transmission shaft (I also have a V70 R AWD) to start dying.
When the silent block of the transmission shaft begins to die, it ends up putting play in the spindle of the transmission shaft and must therefore be changed.
I wanted to know if any of you have ever had a breakdown with the viscous-coupler and if so what symptoms did you have?
- Is the transmission blocked when the viscous-coupler is dead?
- Is the viscous-coupler making noise when it is going to die?
I have no feedback on viscous coupler problems.
Thank you in advance.
Yann
