Moin, have the problem now, too. Not permanently, but again and again this characteristic sound appears. I have just made a change of timing belt and wants to do a longer tour with my 22 year old V40 1.8. Back and forth 350 km each. After reading a lot of things here, I wonder if I should start the ride at all without having to tackle the problem before. Some people seem to have been driving around with the noise here forever, others are doing the same thing. n a motor flush, change the oil etc. The question is whether it is even worth putting money into the car again or whether I should just let it go… Are there opinions too? Many greetings
