    Default Sounds like trouble... 2006 Volvo XC90

    So a few days ago, the check engine light came on... then I noticed a "rattle" when the car is running in park (can't hear rattle when accelerating). I would liken the sound to a diesel engine? There is also a smell of exhaust. With this little bit of info, I imagine it could be many things - but any experts have a theory? Thanks in advance!

    What engine do you have? Im guessing its as simple as a vacuum hose that has disconnected or has cracked. check them first.

    Definitely check vacuum hoses and engine mounts. Mine are on the way out too and the car starts "Throbbing" when I put it in reverse.
