Hello

I wonder if you may be able to help... When accelerating from a low RPM (before boost?), between 1500-2000 RPM the car makes a rattle/flutter noise, almost metallic in sound.

The noise only occurs under moderate/heavy acceleration (i.e. not just very lightly accelerating up) and is most noticeable when in a high gear and low RPM.

Is it turbo related, belts perhaps? There is no noise on idle (or when accelerating when idle).

The car is a Volvo V60 D5.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys, if detonation sounds like this I doesn't sound the same. It's more like a squeak noise and like something spinning at speed, similar to this noise in pitch, although I'm not sure its the belt.

Thanks, is there anyway to test the wastegate? Assuming the wastegate should be silent under load/acceleration?

The noise starts 1400 to 2200 RPM ish and sounds a little like a fan belt slipping. I would say marginally worse when cold, but that might be an illusion.

Thanks guys. I've uploaded a video here, it's hard to hear but is from 4 second onwards. Sounds almost like a belt noise you sometimes here on cars, but only lasts around 1500-2200rpm.
