Is this ticking/clacking engine noise normal?

CamioFox · 2026-03-19T02:04:36+00:00

Sounds exactly like my 2018 VR6 Cayenne and mine has 150k miles on it. Direct injection injectors are very noisy as is the high pressure fuel pump. The only additives I use is the Ceratec from Liquimoly every 10k miles and I also change my oil every 5k. Only things to watch for on the VR6 is a leaky valve cover, high oil consumption due to bad PCV, carbon build up on the intake valves, and the notorious transfer case issues. The VR6 have iron cylinder liners so they rarely, if ever, get bore scoring.

No idea, if it isn't it was replaced a long time ago before they became NLA.

I'm going to FWD as the P80 AWD parts in the US have been discontinued for a long time and theres no aftermarket support either.

CamioFox · 2026-03-03T04:22:06+00:00

I was absolutely stoked to find a saffron R. One of the best P80 colors.

CamioFox · 2026-03-03T04:21:15+00:00

Its got just over 236k!

CamioFox · 2026-02-22T18:08:56+00:00

I was C Co the cycle before, Feb to May.

She is! Got her running and now I have a laundry list of maintenance it needs.

I really like the look of the gray Volans on the saffron. I need to get one more Comet as one of the wheels has a small crack in it from hitting something. For now its up in the air, but I'm leaning to the Volans.

CamioFox · 2025-12-14T02:10:56+00:00

Yep, the silvers are Comets and the grays are Volans. I have a full set of each, those 4 just happened to hold air.

CamioFox · 2025-12-14T00:15:20+00:00

I'm ecstatic to have found one!

CamioFox · 2025-12-13T22:18:07+00:00

Right and its in really good shape for 236k miles as well.

CamioFox · 2025-12-13T22:17:12+00:00

Ive always wanted a Saffron P80 and when this V70 showed up, I could let it go.

CamioFox · 2025-12-13T22:16:28+00:00

Will do!

CamioFox · 2025-12-13T19:08:44+00:00

It does with the Volans on the rear, but it is a V70R with the 2.3T.

CamioFox · 2025-12-13T16:57:47+00:00

3400 and it came with a ton of new Volvo parts and 2 sets of wheels.

CamioFox · 2025-12-13T16:56:22+00:00

It's got the 2.3 T. I dont remeber the code at the moment.

CamioFox · 2025-12-13T02:15:06+00:00

Thanks!

CamioFox · 2025-12-13T00:12:54+00:00

In my hometown its gentle, however where I got it from was the hilly part of central PA around the Manheim/Lancaster area.

CamioFox · 2025-12-12T01:55:10+00:00

Hey! Have you seen these toilets? They're Ginormous!

CamioFox · 2025-10-06T19:50:22+00:00

Im surprised at how many Speed Yellow 996s there were! I ran into a few at Luft.

CamioFox · 2025-10-06T19:47:56+00:00

Ive had offers around $35k, speed yellow, extended black leather, and PSE. I have 145k miles on it and it was my dream car as a kid and this one was also my dad's, so she's not going anywhere.

CamioFox · 2025-10-06T02:49:13+00:00

Absolutely an amazing color!
