2016 Twin Engine Electric Motor Clonk
 

Hi,

My 2016 twin engine has a new louder and worrying clonk noise when the electric motor engages and disengages.

Does anyone else's twin engine clonk as the electric motor is activated (to drive the car) and then deactivated (when it goes into charge mode)?

Is this a known issue or something that needs fixing?

have you checked the driveshafts for twist play ?

I'm pretty sure it's coming from the differential. I've booked it into Volvo for diagnostic...

Can't imagine that it will be good news! The local garage won't look at it.

It certainly doesn’t sound cheap, I’d be interested to know what they find. These hybrids have been known for the odd nasty bill but hopefully nothing to serious in your case.

Technicians have to have electrical safely qualifications now to work on an Electric vehicle. this goes back 10 years now...
