Hi there. i have a volvo s 40/1998 and it started making a strong weird noise when i try to turn the weals and a strong smell of rubber or plastic or something comes out of the engine. any clues of what might have happened? it worked fine until a parking lot and then it started going crazy
Take it to a power steering specialist shop and have them check the drive belt first and the the power steering for failure

Hi,
I think here, by your description, that there might be something that has slipped inside the vent holes from outside. you can try to blow some compressed air through the vent holes at the bottom of the windscreen.
Otherwise you can try to look under the dash, activate the switch and see if you can locate from where the noise is coming and see if you can reach the mechanism that control the vent. Normally it must be moving free. Otherwise your local mechanic should be able to fix that ufor you.
Cheers.

this sounds like a gas pressure regulatur. a few minutes after starting,you start smelling fumes,and are getting bad gas mileage right?
SOURCE: 2007 volvo s40. engine has a whining noise however
You will need to change the oil filter housing and the hose that attaches to it, the amount of vacum going thru this box has changed causing an excess in the crank case. do not drive for you may cause damage to cam and crank seals

When you say turn the wheels I am guessing you mean when you try to turn the front wheels? So when you are steering? The noise is probably coming from the power steering pump. first thing to check is the power steering fluid level. If that is OK then there may be problems with the pump itself.
