Just bought my wife a 1998 c70 2,3t5.
We have had 5 850 T5R and 850Rīs so my knowledge about these cars and their "problems" are known to me - -including Hydraulic tappets making noise.
This is what has happened:
I got the car home by truck - and test drove it, driving very careful because of the slippery weather.
After 5 min drive, the tapping noise started, and continued...
The noise is following the rpm. and tapping like the hyd. tappets - just MUCH MUCH louder!!!! It is in the to of the engine and it scares me.
See and listen to this video:

The car is an absolute minter in untouched original state with a FSH by volvo.
Any ideas are much appriciated.
Kindest Chris
