New to me volvo v60 B4 2023 (and rattle)
Hi all,
Since a month or so this new to me 2023 V60 B4 is mine. It still has 2 yrs of Volvo Select warrantee. During the test drive I noticed a small interior rattle appearing from the front right passagner side above 80 kmh depending on wind direction at which speed it occurs exactly.
Thought nothing much of it as the car was in great condition otherwise. First owner, bought and mainained at the dealership.
Ofcourse the rattle started to annoy in the otherwise quiet interior and I wanted to isolate the issue.
Steps taken so far to no avail:
- obvious mirror check (folding in mirrors) and checking the attachments
- rearview mirror box
- reattached mudguards firmly
- sunscreen attachments to roof
- taped air intake under windscreen
- taped windscreenwiper attachments
- taped outside windowtrim
- took out the glovebox (opening up the area made the rattle more obvious)
- checked and taped all plastic on plastic joints of the panels
- checked and taped all wiring and connectors
- checked and openend the fuse box
- took out interiour filter and checked the box for loose hinges.
- checked bottomplate to bumper attachment (its firm on both sides)
The rattle still persist.
Options not excluded:
- i know there’s some active air intake lamells in the lower front bumper that could affect air flow. Having a look while they were open when parked reveiled some leafs piling up in the area, but i don’t know how to reach those when the intake is closed.
Anything I could do more before taking it back to the dealer?
