Why is my Volvo S60 making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Volvo S60. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Volvo S60 engine?

Can I add water to my Volvo S60 radiator?

What can cause the engine in my S60 to suddenly stop?
