Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Volvo S90 engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided.

Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Volvo S90 radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your S90 radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
