Well, I made the mistake of being a helpful friend and assisted a guy with putting a radiator in their 04 V70.
what a royal pain in the ass.
its the 2.5T engine.
put the new radiator in and now while driving there is a whistle coming from the engine.
its not a belt squeal. its a high pitched noise that doesnt change in volume or tone while driving. but it only happens while the car is in motion. i believe only while accelerating.
im thinking now it could be the turbo, but it wasnt making any kind of noise before changing the radiator.
Maybe the lack of coolant had an effect and now that coolant is making it back to the turbo its showing the wear?
then, my buddy texts me this morning and said that when his gf went out to start the car it barely started, then sputtered and died. Says it turns on, all the dash lights come on, then cuts itself off at about 50seconds.
any advice?
