Hopefully someone can shed some light on this one.

My 09 plate V70 2.5T has a nasty screeching sound, particularly at startup. It then reduces but can be heard if accelerating.

It almost sounds like a drive belt - but it's not. That's been checked by tame mechanic.

It's not the PCV problem. Sounds similar but I had that go a few months ago (I was convinced it was a pulley until mechanic said "watch this" with a grin & removed the filler cap.)

Car drives fine, no oil leaks. 22mpg around town (ouch) and 30++mpg on motorway.

Any ideas folks?
