I will ask again, surely someone must know?

Hi this is my second post on the same problem, i have a 2006 PH2 facelift 185BHP D5 V70 auto, this car is my absolute pride and joy, it wants for nothing, i have spent a small fortune on it since it arrived in January, 112k now and runs beautifully apart from one issue!!
I have this chuffing sound when at idle and the engine is hot! its the same noise you get if the oil filler cap is removed which i,m told is normal!
Injectors seals checked and fine.
Front and rear engine mounts isolated and new are on order as they failed vacuem test.
Vacuem pump tested and is holding fine.
Now here may be a clue to someone with more knowledge, when i first got the car the swirl actuator arm was broken like they always are, one day when looking at how to repair the blighter i lifted the small arm engine block side and the chuffing slowly disapeared?
I have since repaired the above with a very expensive split pin found in my roll cab and that is working fine and a small MPG improvement.
Now as above i have spent a fortune getting this V70 perfect as its the last one i will ever buy, i did buy a PH3 shortly before this one and hated it!! to me it just did not feel like the Volvo,s i have known for years, so after a grand two weeks it was gone and stepped back to what i consider a proper Volvo! my opinion anyway.
Its currently in the bodyshop having the front repaired as my lovely neighbour had a row with his Mrs came out and reversed back in anger and whacked my poor car, whilst its in there i have taken the opportunity to have the roof and bonnet repainted and every little blemish on the car sorted, it should look a cracker when it comes out at the end of the week!
So PLEASE can anyone point me in the right direction? i would just love to be able to hear that wonderful five pot just ticking over like others before it!
The other clue possibly is that i have always thought this is noiser that my old 53 plate V70, engine wise, when driving it, just sound a tad more course, full Volvo history, pulls like a train especially when the caravan is on the back, it don,t know its there, so no power loss?
Any thoughts on possible intercooler? its about the right mileage for a failure but lots of power would suggest otherwise?
Sorry if this has turned into a book, but i have tried to give as much info as possible, many thanks in advance,

Could you post a video/audio of it happening or failing that find one on youtube - it's almost certain this is not a first and someone has posted it.

Hi i think i may have found the answer on You tube, i have seen several videos of the same noise and it would seem that its the hydraulic valve lifters, either breaking or wearing, possibly du to these extended oil change intervals, looks like its gonna be an expensive month, any comments welcome?

Could you post the link.

A chuffing noise would suggest air escaping, exhaust manifold leaking or cracked?

karlywoo · Oct 11th, 2016, 11:37

Not sure how to do that but if you You tube this it should find it?

Not finding anything. Could you copy the vid address and paste it into a reply box here.

Yes thats the kiddy, the noise seems to sound as those its coming from air box area? a definate deep down chuffing sound, i,m now try to fathom out how if the lifters are worn/damaged why? it would create this?
It would seem that i,m not alone on suffering this and all on an 06/07 build? and those that have had it cured it by replacing the lifters..
I, wondering what further damage that may have occured, plus i,m trying to fathom out why? as posted earlier that prior to repairing the swirl arm rod , upon lifting the small part engine block side the noise disapeared, so its all pointing to inlet side of things? an inlet side lifter broken or damaged/worn?
I just don,t know, it would seem an awful lot of work and expense to be wrong!! £200 just for a set of lifters!! then cam seals, injecter seals, cam box gasket the list goes on!
I did think well ok, if we did strip it down i could at same time do a proper job on the swirl linkage and butterfly rail, a good clean out and possibly replacement. more money i know, but the longer it is there of course more serious damage could be occuring,
Thsi Volvo is the last i will ever buy as posted before, its what i consider the last of the proper Volvo,s before Mr Ford got in there and screwed things up, this 65 plate V70 hire car i have at present is just awful, its only done 12k and well its not even close to being as comfortable as my PH2, yes its quieter, but a D4, i,m getting my V70 back today and can,t wait!!

Could you explain this differently. It seems unlikely that lifting something could temporarily fix broken lifters.

Afaik you have an electrically operated swirl arm. Do you know if it working correctly ?
