I have an odd noise in my V70, it seems to be coming from somewhere on the passenger side from behind the headlight area. It sounds like a motor/pump of some sort is running.

It starts as soon as I put the key in and turn it to the accessory position, happens when the car is on too. Does not change when the car is running. Car runs and drive as normal no cel or anything. Occurs regardless of what is turned on in the car. Just started last night. Looked around under the hood and could not determine what it is. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Possibly from the description given...go grab your headlamp wiper arm on that side and see if it moves.

ding ding ding, it was caught under the tab that it rests on. Can't believe I didn't check that first :monkey:

Thanks again.

ME TOO! Thats so weird! My V70 T5 has the same oddness I just noticed it for the first time a couple of weeks ago, but I will hear it prior to starting and while in P, before turning it off. I tried to listen for it standing OUTSIDE of the car, but if it is audible from outside, you'll never hear it over the engine.

Frankly, Im not all that concerned, I have just added it to my monsterous list of, *eghem*, "Quirks" that these vehicles have.
Wait a minute! I just had a thought. . .

Have you, by chance, replaced your cabin air filter recently?

Did you put the panel back on?
