On top of the engine, right hand side.

But to be honest it could be so many things. hydraulic lifters also springs to mind, although I will admit to only having some limited knowledge, which can be dangerous.

I suspect whatever it is you will likely need professional help, so why not just go to a Volvo garage, an independent should be cheaper, and get a diagnosis from them ?

You can waste an awful lot of time and money on the wrong things, so be aware.[/QUOTE]

I do not have a lot of faith in Volvo main dealers. A few years ago I took my petrol V70 to a main dealer because of low oil pressure when warm.
They charged me £135 to run diagnostics on VIDA and told me that showed nothing.
THEY THEN SAID THEY NEEDED TO SPLIT THE BLOCK (not just head off or sump) I forget the rediculous price they wanted. That was a very long established Volvo dealer in Kings Lynn

I went home, checked the forums and dozens and dozens of members said replace the "O" rings, and of course they were spot-on. THREE CHEERS for all the helpful people on the forum.
